I enjoy these discussions, I am all about learning, mostly by my own mistakes, lol. Is there a sticky somewhere about the club standards? It would nice if a guy, (new guy) could access it fairly easily. I know not all clubs are the same, but as far as the IR battle system goes is there a solid guidline to follow? IR emitter tube size, how far back in the tube, mantlet, weight class Sherman vs Tiger vs T34, stuff like that? It would help answer a lot of questions for new guys that want to battle at a club. Of coarse if you never want to, then it really doesnt matter what kind of battle system you have as long as each tank is the same brand. As far as my HL Tiger I not up to Tamiya standards, well I guess it would replicate a real Tiger then, I mean they did brake down alot in real life right? lol. Also when it brakes down, its easier for my daughter to take out with her little Sherman.
