Command a main battle tank of the 2001 coalition: American, British, German or French. Lead your infantry fighting vehicles, guard the troops and the supply convoy, and fight from the training range to the gates of the city.
Every main battle tank the four armies had in 2001. Your nation also sets the infantry fighting vehicles that fight beside you.
Your tank's front is very thick, the sides thinner and the rear thin. Keep your nose toward the enemy. Rocket teams (RPG) try to hit your side or rear, often from rooftops in town.
Use sabot against tanks and armour, high-explosive against troops, trucks and buildings. The AMX-30B2's 105 mm gun cannot break a T-72 or T-80U front: hit their sides.
Your infantry fighting vehicles follow you and carry the troops. On foot the troops move up from cover to cover, behind their IFV, walls and rocks, and rush the enemy when he is close. Each IFV stays with its squad.
The supply convoy moves up once the first danger is cleared. Ambushes hit it on the road: get between it and the attackers. Stop beside a supply truck to rearm and repair.
The radio speaks: your crew calls targets and warnings ("Missile launch! Pop smoke!"), HQ gives your orders. V turns the voice off; the text stays on screen.
Your tank crushes jeeps, trucks and cars, but a burnt tank is a solid wall of steel: go round it.
Missions run from dawn to night. In the dark, press N for the thermal sight: warm engines and people glow. Most enemy vehicles have no thermal sight, so the night is yours.
Not every tank is stabilised: the AMX-30B2 must slow down to shoot straight.
Your gunner lays the main gun on enemy vehicles only: tanks first, then other vehicles (red corners). Press T to choose: each press locks onto the next vehicle you can see. The roof machine gun deals with troops by itself.
Press Space to fire the main gun. "ON TARGET" under the target means the gun is laid and loaded.
