Thanks all for the information. I did not know it was possible to zoom as a gunner. This made it possible for me to complete the single mission with three Abrams tank. I was playing as commander before and it was the commanders equipment that I was curious about (my initial question was fuzzy). In this picture of an M1A2 you can see a "periscope" of some sorts on the right side (I have assumed that is for targeting with magnification, correct?). As ArmA has the A1 model that feature is naturally not available (M1A1). So, regarding the M1A1 - does the commander have access to magnification of some sorts (in real life)?

After patching the game to 1.05 I managed to complete this mission.

I have hard time seeing any targets at all in the single mission involving the three Abrams tanks. I hear a lot of reports of targets but I have to drive up to the to see them. Doesn't modern MBTs have quite effective magnification in the optics used from inside the tank?

It is the "Blood, Sweat & Tears" mission. I have destroyed the tanks at the airport and the team switch dialog is shown. I choose character. If I choose no 2 I get to see a Black Hawk doing a yo-yo thing and then I die. If I choose Mike (no 1) I get a chopper ride where I am supposed to shoot at something(?) and then the chopper gets shot down. Then there is a cutscene where I see a rusty burnt out Black Hawk doing the funky chicken stunt (yo-yo again) then I die. I also get a Divide by zero exception which is visible in the topleft corner. There is an if clause and some script language by the looks of it. What to do?? AMD Dual Core 54 5000+ Abit KN9-Ultra Kingston 2GB RAM NVidia 7960 GT 512MB memory card (maker unknown) edit: added info
