c = lock on target, Point towards enemy and lock on! Square Brackets will appear around locked target

missiles:
Missiles will track tank that was lock on at time the missile was launched
You have two missile launchers on your tank. So it possible to fire two missiles one after an other if both missiles are loaded and ready to go.
It takes time for missiles to reload ( 30 seconds I think )
Number of  missiles you get per level = level number
