 ====Acquiring a target====
-In Ground Realistic battles, ground attack is usually the first role that is taken by aircraft. This means that you will have Allies on the ground, it is important to communicate with your team. Asking them to mark targets on the map is a must so you should be sure you are playing on the server(s) that speak your language. If you need help with what to say, or forget to have your server set to a server that speaks your language, here are some useful phrases (in Russian, English, and Spanish) below.
+In Ground Realistic battles, ground attack is usually the first role that is taken by aircraft. This means that you will have Allies on the ground, it is important to communicate with your team. Asking them to mark targets on the map is a must. Use the chat menu for that ({{key press|T|5|1|chain=-}}). Also use the map ({{key press|M}} key) and zoom in so. Then you will see what types of enemies are spotted and can pick the easiest ones first!
