Project Reality Forums

So this a bit of a cleanup of Metal_militia_103's thread. Just like to stress that this was not my idea, I have merely compiled everything in that thread into a (hopefully) easier to access format.

Good job organizing all of this. Specially with the explanation.

Nice little list that.

Yes, and yes it is

Nice compilation here Web, very useful

You need to simplify or even remove some of these, most of these I have never seen used.

like:

SoP = Standard/Standing Operating Procedure
HEI-T = High Explosive Incendiary - Tracer
APDSFS = Armor Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot
JTAC/FAC = Joint Terminal Attack Controller/Forward Air Controller or Spotter/Laze (Change to just "Spotter")
SPAAG = Self Propelled Anti-Aircraft Gun
HEI-T = High Explosive Incendiary - Tracer (Thats just the coax on a MBT)

Well, yeah, I've never seen some of those used either, but like I say, this is just a list compiled from what a load of people suggested. And just because one person has never seen it, doesn't mean it don't happen. I've seen SoP used in the Tournament for instance.

In short, I'm trying to do as little editorializing as possible, and just put up what people suggest (unless it's VERY silly or pointless).

tb=teabag

'mordred[BG wrote:;1303963']tb=teabag

tb = ban in some servers... "Unrealistic gameplay". I wonder who are their fake military advisors...

APFSDS (kindly corrected by Burton from my original post) is the default round (slot 1) you will find in tanks and some APC's, weapon slot 2 is HEAT rounds etc.

its displayed usually in the bottom right hand corner of your gunners screen.

We usually just say 'SABOT' in place of APFDPwhatever.

Does anyone really type it out?

The most important for new guys: RTFM

Haha, I'll put that one in Ploddit

Can you put that in the manual, it is very useful
