[Panther Al]

Agreed: Simple and easy would be the rule, with a firm poke at making sure that its obvious whose side its on save for special circumstances.

In 1997, when you see a panzer rolling over that hill, sure, shoot first and ask questions later. In 2000? When they are scarce as hens teeth, and quite possible the only thing allowing your unit to survive encounters that you really shouldn't? Unless something is obvious (Such as shooting in your general direction) I can very easily see taking a minute to make sure before pulling the trigger would be common. After all, those ATGM's don't grow on tree's either!
