The T72 btw. is by no way superior to the M1A1 in DC. Actually, it is inferior, because it cannot rotate the turret 360 deg due to the rear mounted gas tanks. On that point I can not agree. :) I spend almost all of my time in DC as a tanker, and the T-72 is always my tank of choice. It has a lower ...

That's my point. They made it realistic, but they fucked up the gameplay. If you have an M16, you have the only assault rifle in the game that doesn't do automatic fire, and three direct hits won't kill anyone in BF$.

BF 1942 / DC / BF2 ... awesome ... wish I had more time to play them. I can agree with the first two, but BF$ lost it for me.

If it's under warranty, have the manufacturer replace it. After all of the bad rap(and a few class action suits) over leaking caps, they'd probably be thrilled to replace your board for you. Maybe even if it's not under warranty.
