I'm not in a squad, so I have to find some of these things out by asking because I don't know where there is a "cheat sheet" that gives info; and half the time you get a smart azz answer.

Other issues in Elite are;

1) tanks are so much more unreliable as to aim and distance (and the new ones are even worse)
2) Shooting from a chute is horrible on a pc where it used to be pretty good
3) as Dog said; 2 planes crash (especially head on) and one survives?
4) trees seem to "grow" as you approach them closely, right into your path
5) often hard to identify friend or foe in the ship belly
6) making you take a chute, even if you don't want it
7) sometimes planes of same model, loaded the same (bombs); I can't catch them in chase turns, but they easily can catch me (no fancy turn maneuvers involved)
8) the text box on pc's now is horrible; if I message someone, I often have to hit tab & enter to get my key controls back and also have to backspace the text out (from using controls (w, s, c, etc.)


I haven't had a problem aiming with tanks. I think it's better unless the red is lagging
