I tend to find that VH is more popular for some reason, but most people get the jist of it.

Mobile Anti Air its what i use in PR for AA vehicles...

Just AA for handheld...

APDSFS, amour piercing discarding sabot fin stabilized

It's actually Armor Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot
The best way to remember it is that it describes the round in reverse.

4. It pierces the armor
3. Its flight is Fin stabilised
2. The Sabot is discarded
1. It's fired

If there's a T after, it would mean it's a tracer round
i.e APFSDS-T
or HEI-T (High Explosive Incendiary - Tracer);

Not to be confused with HEAT - High Explosive Anti Tank

[Hitman.2.5]

Dushka = DShK Russian 50 cal

[Stemo]

This is a term I use the most, but i'm not 100% sure i use it correctly, so please corect me.

When I move with my squad, and see an enemy in the distance, I yell "contact!" (Contact north if he's to the north etc)

But is this when you are taking fire from an enemy, or just spotting him?

[dtacs]

Contact varies between countries alot. Here we use it when there is actual visual contact between both parties and hostile shots are to ensue.

I say contact whenever we see an enemy really. Or simply 'enemy, get down'.
