2 odd mechanics not mentioned in JA2's manual are the ability to aim for the head or legs of a target (if your crosshairs are over them when attacking) and the abiltiy to steal from knocked down enemies.
I've not seen all of the in-game help tool-tips but I don't recall these mechanics being present there either.
To any older JA fans, did I miss something and they're in tool-tips? were these just 2 mechanics oddly not mentioned anywhere? or (which sometimes happens) were these mechanics actually patched into JA2 (so not in the original release) hence their omission from the manual and it was actually the patch-notes for JA2 that would tell you about them?

Here's a quote from an older discussion:
Quote:Also you must have a free large slot in your inventory (plus having a pistol in the second hand helps too), due to a coding bug identified by Chris Camfield himself.
Okay, so it seems it was simply undocumented? (Since I can't find any official tutorial for the feature, in-game or out, same with targeting the head/legs manually.)
Either unintentionally since it was added super late and buggy or undocumented because it was buggy and they didn't have time to remove it.
