Unless the croc is out of shots/ammo. Where you counting? To tell the truth in all the excitement I kind of lost track myself. So, you gotta ask yourself, "Do you feel lucky?"

Hey! That's pretty good! He's gonna love it. :)

Tried making an avatar out of it for him but it loses too much detail. Just looks like a fat blob sitting on concrete...

Status: offline 		Pilots are busy people. Too busy to bother reading recognition cards. They operate by a very simple code then:

Tanks are bad. Kill the tanks.

If it moves on the ground and doesn't have legs, it's a tank.

If it does have legs, it might be a tank in disguise.

If it doesn't move it might be a tank playing possum.

Sometimes, very briefly, pilots think about [I]their[/I] tanks and [I]our[/I] tanks, but they've never seen one at the base so all tanks must then be [I]their[/I] tanks. Kill all the tanks.


With this in mind, think twice before you call in that strike element. Maybe even think about exiting all of your units from the map before calling that strike element. If you [I]have[/I] to call that strike element anyway, and you can't exit all your units off the map beforehand, issue orders for all your forces to assume their pre-arranged "strike element" positions. From the air those positions look like this:

[B][SIZE=4]ENEMY ---->[/SIZE][/B]

Hopefully the pilots will see this and not hit the "bomb" button while they try to take pictures of it before going to bomb some other poor friendly unit.

You know it just not fair, our planes bomb the enemy’s tanks and our tanks and the enemy has all the advantages, he gets to shoot back. How about loosening up on the fire discipline and let my troops shoot back at my aircraft. You know, just to let them fly boys know they are doing me wrong. :D

Status: offline 		As an infantry squad you have the option to ALT-M (melee). This does not work against tanks. You just break your knuckles.

As a tank, you have the option to ALT-O (overrun). This results in gun barrel swordfights. Occasionally, two tanks that have been gun barrel swordfighting will bend their barrels around each other in such a way that they can not seperate on thier own. Throwing napalm on them usually works to seperate them.

Bagpipes however, will cause instant 100% suppresion to all troops. Warning, do not attempt to use bagpipes in any Indian or North African battle as they are suspected of attracting very aggressive bull elephants.

Status: offline 		If you run out of ammo in a desperate situation try to get the enemy laughing by telling him jokes. The more the better. Keep telling them until he's laughing so hard his eyes are watering (equivalent to suppression :80) then club him to death with your empty rifle.
