INTRODUCTION When I rolled my M-4 Sherman off the LST and onto the beach at Normandy, I thought I was commanding the finest armored fighting vehicle in the world. We had speed, maneuverability and reliability. We also had the ability to turn around repairs a lot faster, since so many of our boys had been neighborhood gas station grease-monkeys back home. A lot of these factors were negated for both us and the Germans by the terrain and layout of the Normandy countryside. The whole place was divided up by thick hedgerows and sunken roads. We couldnt traverse our turrets on the sunken roads and the Germans had all the high roads and highways pre-sighted for their 88s. Our advantage came further inland on open ground where we could do our song and dance on fast maneuvering. And then, there was WP. Oh, how we did love our white phosphorous! The stuff burned like a piece of hell and nothing could put it out. That was the most effective round we could fire from our 75, let me tell you. Lt. George Meyer, 2nd Armored Div.

OPERATION TIGER HUNT WAS DESIGNED SO YOU COULD GET STARTED RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT NEEDING TO READ A MANUAL. BY READING THIS QUICK OVERVIEW, HOWEVER, YOULL GET AN EDGE ON THE BATTLEFIED. LEARNING TO CONTROL YOUR TANK SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING YOU DO. THE MANEUVERABILITY OF AMERICAN ARMOR IS CERTAINLY AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN ESTABLISHING ITS DOMINANCE ON THE BATTLEFIELD, AND YOULL NEED ALL OF IT TO MAKE IT THROUGH THESE MISSIONS. ALWAYS KEEP ON THE MOVE,USE THE TERRAIN TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, NEVER GIVE THEM A SITTING TARGET. DONT BE AFRAID OF FACING YOUR ENEMY STRAIGHT ON.
NOT ONLY WILL YOU GIVE THEM HALF AS MUCH TO SHOOT AT, BUT YOULL HAVE AN EASIER TIME GETTING INTO A BETTER POSITION. TAKE A LOOK AT THE INGAME SCHEMATICS OF THE UNITS YOULL BE FIGHTING AGAINST. YOULL NOTICE THAT MOST ARE MORE VULNERABLE ON THE SIDES AND THE REAR. YOULL NEED TO KNOW THIS TO MAKE IT WITH LIMITED AMMO WHERE EVERY SHOT COUNTS. THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN YOU KNOW AN EMEMY IS OUT THERE, BUT YOU CANT SEE THEM. MY ADVICE TO YOU IS TO FIND A WRECKED TANK OR BUILDING TO GIVE YOU SOME COVER UNTIL YOU CAN FIND HIM. MINES WILL KILL A TANK IMMEDIATELY, USE YOUR HIGH EXPLOSIVE SHELLS AGAINST THEM. BETTER YET, AVOID THEM ALL TOGETHER. HIGH EXPLOSIVE AMMO IS EFFECITVE AGAINST BUNKERS, BUILDINGS AND VEHICLES, BUT NOT AGAINST TANKS. SAVE THE GOOD STUFF FOR TANKS. WHEN INTELLIGENCE KNOWS WHERE THE ENEMY IS, YOULL SEE A RED INDICATOR OVER THE TARGET. WHEN YOU CANT SEE AN INDICATOR, KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR COMPASS IN THE UPPER LEFT. MISSION OBJECTIVES WILL BE INDICATED BY THE OUTER TRIANGLE ORIENT YOUR TURRET (THE INNER GREEN DOT) TO MATCH THE POSITION AND DRIVE, YOULL SEE YOUR OBJECTIVE SOON ENOUGH. WHEN YOU PICK UP SOME AIR SUPPORT, YOULL NOTICE AN AIRPLANE ICON IN THE BOTTOM LEFT WITH THE NUMBER OF AIRSTRIKES YOU CAN MAKE. SIMPLY LOOK IN THE DIRCTION YOU WANT THE STRIKE, GET CLOSE ENDOUGH, HOLD TIGHT AND PRESS THE B BUTTON AND GET OUT OF THERE.THE BALLISTICS MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR ELEVATION AND RANGE TO THE TARGET. SOME TIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO SHOOT WHEN IT FEELS RIGHT. GOOD LUCK SOLDIER. SEE YOU IN BERLIN. AMMO TYPES AP = Armor piercing: most effective against armored vehicles (tanks and armored vehicles). AP shells dont have an explosive charge. HE = High explosive: most effective against installations and open targets (it can be used against vehicles but it is tot very effective against tanks with thicker armor). PH = Phosphorous shell (incendiary): effective against most targets although the desired effects may not be immediate. i.e.: tanks and buildings may burn, but not be entirely destroyed. HVAP = High velocity armor piercing shell: this most rare type of ammunition simply increases the effective range and effectiveness of the standard AP. Better penetration of thicker armor at longer distances. This type of ammunition can become a life saver when confronted with superior German tanks such as Panthers and Tigers. This type of specialized ammunition was not nor will be as readily available as the rest and must be used sparingly. GAME CONTROLS
