Hi Again:

Soooo.

Using the TV remote I tried every stage of "Battle Damage" through to total annihilation, and although the tank was disabled for a short period, when it recovered I couldn't see any reduction in performance. Maybe its just me, but it seems that the Trumpeter (read Cheap Seats) version of the IR Battle System lacks any reduction in performance other than temporary disabling.

Don't know if its due to the alternate source of IR signal, but I suspect that its because of the basic (Cheap Seats) electronics. But hey, I'm OK with that.

Now, for those of you with somewhat deeper pockets who own more sophisticated systems and who don't do the "IR Battle" thing, you might want to give it a try just to see if it produces a more realistic (slower) action. Ya never can tell.

Cheers,

Old Fatman
