I think you get 6.

[Arclight]

Pretty sure I only got 3.

Forgot my pass for logging in there, so I can't check.

Gamesplanet is also available in English, so requesting support in English shouldn't be a problem.

You get 3 but you can contact them and they give you new ones, at least that's what I understood from the support dudes

[Task Force]

How do you use the gunsights.

[Raptor1]

V or a fast tap of right click

[Task Force]

thanks.

Looks good. Seems like this patch brings the game to the point it should be at release. Now I can take complaints about the game seriously.

You will probably have an option to turn the game to english if you had a German/Czech version

BIS CEO(Maruk) is doing some serious overtime btw. That message was posted a few minutes ago, and it's now 2:41 in Czech
