But this community already has developed an answer to that challenge. Offering free burned CDs is becoming a frequent and noble way of supporting Matrix.<br/>

<t>Sorry, kao16, I misunderstood you. Yeah, when op-firing, one does not know if he is loosing the benefit of previous target acquisition. I don&#8217;t have a solution for that.<br/>

<t>Kao16, there is a way to find that. Select the unit (any unit, works for infantry, as well) that you are interested in. Hit "T". Screen shows the last target that you fired (or op-fired) on. But don't press "N" to cycle through the targets, you will lose the benefit of the target acquisition from ...

Germans usually deal with lots of enemy infantry. Giving up tank op-fire against infantry... sounds radical to me.<br/>

Once something is "open source", nobody can make any money out of it. And I do understand that. Matrix lives with the legacy of the SSI engine, and these guys need to develop their own engine if they want to sell the full game.<br/>
