I don't think any of the below is properly documented, hence I didn't facepalm all that much, but I still felt like a total rookie:
- controlling burst accuracy with mouse wheel - I was using single fire all the time because burst was so inaccurate. After I "discovered" this my squads fire effectivenes went up 300% and the machinegunner turned into absolute beast
- using said mouse wheel to adjust accuracy, much smoother and more convenient than rmb (is there something like this for burst size?)
- scopes with high magnification get massive penalties at shorter range (which doesn't make really much sense, anyone who used any sort of a scope knows that you can adjust the zoom manually at wish, but whatevs)
- stun grenades are insanely powerful, especially combined with gl

smoke_grenadeDiscovering Bobby Ray's was definitely the most ground breaking discovery I made... Well I think... I'm not sure after reviewing the list of dumb things I missed:
- I didn't know I should be looking for Miguel.
- Arulco had mines for me to get money from.
- Didn't bother to check AIM, so only one IMP landed in Omerta that fateful day...
- The ability to train militia (or to be assigned to anything else, for that matter).
- R hotkey to make mercs run. They had spent nearly half the first campaign literally walking around.
- Climbing on rooftops...
In my defense I have to say I was 10 years old. (11 years ago)
Ha! I was pretty much still in elementary school then and fighting without aiming awesome in my view! It was like those Hong Kong movie gunfights where hundreds of shots would be fired with little chance of hitting anything until the heroes outflank and move to point blank range or someone throws a grenade.
These days I am trying to adjust the CTH parameters in 1.13 DL to get the same kind of gameplay - everyone firing from out of effective range and from cover. I found the scope implementation in 1.13 making things way too easy to take out huge numbers of enemies at once.
