The UK has IMO a few decent "specialty" tanks (Crocodile and AVRE specifically), and they do nice things with Sherman and Wolverine upgrades (like adding 17lb'ers to them), but aside from that (again IMO) the UK strength is NOT in its tanks.<br/>

Try the SPWAW Manual that accompanies it. IIRC, all the information about the preferences screen is in there. It's a PDF file, again, if I'm remembering things correctly. If you don't have it, I can upload it if you can't find it for download on the site here.

IIRC Air support requires three things in addition to the correct preferences settings in order to appear for one side or the other:

1) Air Superiority

2) Daylight

3) Good Weather
