Labels:text | screenshot | font | black and white OCR: Because you have to control four tank platoons simultaneously in Team Yankee , we have not been strictly accurate in our operation of these wire guided missiles. Instead of leaving you to control and aim the missile over its flight of up to 15 seconds (thus causing you to relinquish your control of everything else that is going on), we have treated the TOW as a normal missile - once launched it will strike the area you have aimed at. The loading times for all of the missiles are accurately presented and reflect the length of time it takes for a missile to be loaded after the tank commander (you!) has ordered his gunner and loader to set up a target. It is worth remembering that tank battles are often fought at long range, and in particular that a platoon Rank Symbol of tanks in the middle of an open plain are 'cannon-fodder' for suitably placed opposition. The tree line (Private First Class) of forests provides very adequate protection for tanks. In Team Yankee, you will find that the first 100 metres or so of forest provides you with cover, and yet allows you to look out clearly onto the battlefield. As soon as you fire, however, you will give your opponents a chance to locate you for a certain amount of time. Remember that your opposition will often use the same tactic of hiding within the tree line. Your infra-red sights will often be invaluable to spot vehicles which would otherwise be hidden in the tree line Rank Symbol (Corporal) The magnify mode on the 3d view is very powerful. Since you should be able to destroy a vehicle which is well over a mile away from you, you will often need to use the magnified sights in order to locate the enemy before they spot you. The position of known Soviet units will often be marked on the map displays with a flag representing Rank Symbol each unit. These flags will be displayed either when the player should have the units in his sights or when (Sergeant) there has been information received from intelligence. However, just because a Soviet flag does not appear on the map near to you does not necessarily mean that there are no enemy units nearby. For instance, if a Soviet unit is in a forest or near the tree line of a forest, there will normally be no information presented on the map screens. Higher Ranks If you start from the lowest file in the cabinet, then the first five scenarios you will complete in Team Rank Symbol Yankee will be at the rank of Private (First Class), or PFC. You will have to pass through three more (Staff Sergeant) campaigns at three higher ranks - Corporal (Cpl), Sergeant (Sgt), Staff Sergeant (SSg) · before you reach the ultimate rank of Captain (Cpt). The strategy you will have to pursue will be increasingly more subtle as you progress. Your opposition will increase in number and will perform increasingly more ingenious and daring tactics in order to circumvent your victory. On the first rank the Russian maneouvres will all be to a set formula, which you should be quick to master once you have learned the basics of control 00 and sensible tank warfare tactics. Later on, they may well surprise you, so you will have to look out for all sorts of devious approaches. At the lower levels you will always have your weapons, morale and Rank Symbol vehicle damage reasonably restoreu between scenarios. Later on, you will find that you will have to (Captain) conserve all of your capabilities in order to provide an effective fighting force in the next scenario. 17
