I lost one Apache to enemy SAM, and one to a windmill.

I have never lost a helo in mission.. cough...rolls eyes...cough... lol. In my defence the ground leapt up.. ;D
Beef:
First trees, and now windmills--these inanimate objects keep leaping into my way. :D

The thing with coords that I was having trouble is.. how were you announcing those. Usually it was 90 something and then 40-50 something. So I assume it was 90 (west east) and 40-50 (south - north). Sorry Im so bad at these still. It's something I really have to learn about and will focus at coming days. (As is proper use of PC:s such as cv90 and infantry.) I do know tanks, somehow well but most apparently that certainly is not full picture.

How map coordinates are given depends on the level of accuracy needed. A 4-digit grid (stated as "9040") refers to a 1000 meter grid square and is best used in referring to a general area and not very good at all for fire support missions. A 6-digit gives you a 100 meter grid square, and the more precise 8-digit gives you 10 meter grid square. Think of them as zoom levels, if you will. It takes a little practice, but with some experience you can look at the map without the aid of a protractor and give a 6-digit coordinate.
"Read right then up" is how the coordinates are read. In the case of a 6-digit coordinate the first three digits are the vertical lines (the east-west coordinates) and the last three are the horizontal lines (the north-south coordinates). For example, 905405 will be halfway between the 90 and 91 vertical lines and also half way between the 40 and 41 horizontal lines.
Here is a link to a Grid Coordinates Study Guide that should hopefully explain it better!

My PC just couldn't handle such a large mission. Lost connection twice in five minutes. Even in offline mode, the mission is choppy at best. Very sorry to Lumi and Cougar who had to spontaneously take over my company. However, it looks like the mission went well for everyone except for the guy to lost a helo to a guided anti-air windmill.

Thats not good. I know it's not great but maybe playing in the map view (F5)?.
