Words in italics are the verb equivilent of an action. You may type the verb into the command line, or use it for designing your own key macros.

If there is someone operating the turret for you, you can not rotate the turret, fire, or select the turret weapon.

If you are operating a turret, you may only rotate the turret, fire the weapon, and select the weapon. Note that the left and right arrow keys will also rotate the turret.

question How do I upgrade my tank?
answer Each tank may build weapons, ammo, deployments, and modifications. Gunners can not build upgrades. Some items will allow you to build new items, so check the list of items you can build after you make upgrades.

To begin building an upgrade, type build in the command line. Use the menus to select an item, or choose cancel to continue with your current project.

Tanks may only work on one upgrade at a time! If you stop in the middle of one upgrade to begin another, all the time you spent on the previous upgrade will be lost.
