Could Battlefront please make the PDF manual downloadable from the CMSF homepage? I know it is available with the demo, but I don't want to download 350 MB and then install 800 MB just to read the 20 (?) MB manual. Thank you very much, 'looking forward to receiving my new computer and then trying the demo

Hi everybody, I am a proud and happy owner of TacOps 3. Although it spent some time on the shelf after I bought it, it became one of my favourite games, after I equipped both of my computers with network cards and played endless hours with my friend. Now my question: I have noticed, that T-55s and T-62s don't fire at M1s from the front, because they can't penetrate it - which they certainly can't. But they also don't fire at the flanks, which they also can't according to the games database. I have no doubt, that T-55s and T-62s have no great chance against M1s, but I think it is unrealistic, that they don't even try. I understand, that they won't fire, when they have not been spotted yet ("keep quiet, perhaps they won't notice us and go away..."), but they still don't fire, when they HAVE been spotted already. Again: I don't think a T-62 can brew up a M1, but I DO think, that a T-55 or T-62 can cause damage, which the game is capable of portraying (blown track, weapon damaged, etc). Even a hail of BMP-2 autocannon fire can at least force a tank commander to keep his head down (supression) or damage some of the external equipment (TI, aerial, HMG, etc). I think at the present the game gives military people who train with this (excellent) game a false sense of security "I can drive my abrams anywhere - they are invincible", while I think a lucky shot from an old T-55 can ruin a tank commanders day. (I know I am not a Desert Storm expert like many of those on this forum, but I remeber reading a story about a BMP-1 or T-55 hitting an M1 on the turret bustle and the ammunition went off - of course due to the construction of the M1 nobody got hurt, but a tank without ammunition is also not that good) I'd be happy to hear some comments on this. (I think the was a simmilar topic sometime ago, but I did not find it in the topic from the last 12 months, so I opened a new one) Wolfi
