  My personal tip: DO NOT press W when you find a good spot, you WILL be shot by someone else that’s camping<br><br>At least in my experience, I see everyone else’s enemies drive blindly while mine are all hiding behind rocks and buildings

  Bind &quot;Set Target For Squad&quot; it will play a marker on your HUD as well as the map, so you can then ping the map on a tank or call in arty with out guessing where they are

  Man I forgot about stock grinding with Ground Assault Arcade<br>too many coal vehicles that I&apos;ve begrudgingly brought into GRB just to get the first shell 🤣<br><br>OH and you might have forgot to mention one of the (I think) Key differences between Ground Arcade and Ground realistic/simulator and that&apos;s OPPONENTS! Most matches in Ground RB will not be against your own nation (with the rare exception of a mixed battle) but in arcade ALL battles are mixed battles, so going back to your point about heavy armored vehicles being favored in arcade, you can expect to see the <b>toughest</b> and <b>most</b> unfair enemies <b>more</b> often in arcade compared to realistic, for a given battle rating bracket. That I remember back in my day was a big factor in why I switched off of ground arcade almost immediately, other than watching from youtubers and wanting to play because of other friends who already played the game.<br><br>One more small tip about the modifications screen: The Elevation module on every tank does about HALF of the total upgrade strength of your vertical gun dispersion accuracy as adjustment of fire. So while adjustment of fire does reduce a <b>little</b> bit of horozontal dispersion as well as vertical dispersion, it can actually occasionally be more efficient to research vertical <b>first</b> and then pick up adjustment of fire later on. I tend to harp on friends in discord who put tier 2 mod research into crap like &quot;suspension&quot; and &quot;adjustment of fire&quot; instead of going straight to FPE and getting the next tier of mods right away<br>BY THE WAY, Parts and FPE are the cheapest modules to research of ANY module, so if you&apos;re a new player, JUST GET YOUR PARTS AND FPE AND STOP SKIPPING FPE.<br>even in light vehicles like open top trucks you&apos;ll still occasionally one day find yourself on fire twice and then <b>regretting</b> not researching the second FPE charge. stop skipping improved FPE, you&apos;re shooting yourself in the foot!
