Nice! You can post them there, but since they're pretty much done at this point, feel free to submit them as actual articles (in separate articles for each section, please) and we'll get them up and running.

Cap,

About the bombadier...he should assist in spotting planes when they are "toning" the pilot. By switching views, he can spot planes that will show up on the mini-map for the fighter to assist or the pilot to use and help evade.

Also, a infrequently used bombing trick, you can actually get two drops out of the bomber or fighter. If when flying over the base to re-supply, if you do a fast run over the runway, the bomber will pick up 4 bombs instead of 5. If you drop those away from the runway and do a slow run to re-supply all 5 bombs, you get two drops. A single bomb will drop on the first click and the remaining four on the second click. This is good for example when you are bombing a heli pad with infantry waiting. You don't have to waste all 5 bombs. The same thing works for the fighter, but you get 2 single drops of 1 bomb each. This is great for accurate bombers, of which, I am not.

Let's see...

Remember that you can change views and look around outside of the cockpit when you're not in the LGM launching view - use this to your advantage and advise your pilot of any bogeys that you spot which may try to kill you.

...and I've saved your bit about the two bombing's for one trick to another file. I don't know if it really fits in anywhere, and sounds sort of glitchy to me.

Could we get a mod to lock this thread now that I've transferred everything over to the Articles section?

Perhaps even the Comprehensive TACTICS thread could be locked/unstickied at this point in time...

mm_dedicated_force_servers removed? - Steam Users' Forums

Looks like they changed it.

in server.cfg put:
sv_search_key MySecratPhrase

and then in your lobby you create. just before hitting "start game", open your console and type "sv_search key MySecretPhrase"

Works for me!
