I'm pretty much OK with whatever the rules say, as long as they're the same for everyone. I just want my tank to be the best that I can make it.

I've got enough emitters, maybe I'll do some testing, just to see if it even makes a difference. I'm wondering if the shape of the LED helps focus the beam or anything else that might affect range. It would be really interesting if you could adjust range for the tank class. I don't think a PIII could score hits as far away as a Tiger, but with IR that's eliminated.

And what about the numbers used to identify the emitters. I think I've heard 920 and 840 something. What difference does that make? Obviously I still have a lot to learn about the tech, long before I get into the whole fair play question.
