Taken from the PR 0.85 manual..

Vehicle must-knows
If the team loses a vehicle it also loses tickets:
○ Jeep or truck: 2 tickets
○ Transport helicopter: 5 tickets
○ APC or recon: 5 tickets
○ Tank or IFV: 10 tickets
○ Jet or attack helicopter: 10 tickets

**
In other words... if you don't know what your doing, Don't drive, or fly vehicles. Your not just wasting the asset, but your costing your team a large amount of tickets. I cant count how many times i have seen like 5 transport choppers on a map, with no one getting transported (barracuda about 20 mins into the map) if over this about, 2 hour map, the team looses 1 chopper every 10 mins, that's 70 tickets in assets + however many people died while you were transporting them. A full chopper is 13 tickets lost. Seen a lot of games lost by by 5 - 10 - 20 tickets.. now figure your team lost 100 tickets due to bad usage of assets. There is never any need for using more then 2 transport choppers at 1 time. Also, you should not abandon vehicles, a destroyed jeep / comm truck is 2 tickets each, and no fire bases and transports for your team

Intelligence & weapons caches
To reveal the approximate location of insurgent weapons caches while playing
Insurgency intelligence has to be gathered. The following list shows the
amount of intelligence points (IP) gained or lost due to different actions.

Insurgent killed: 1 IP
Civilian or insurgent arrested: 7 IP
Civilian killed (Under penalty conditions): -7 IP
Insurgent cell leader killed: 7 IP
Insurgent cell leader arrested: 14 IP

The approximate location of the first cache is shown about 3 minutes into the
round. Additional locations will be revealed 3 minutes after enough IP were
gained by the coalition. The second location is revealed when reaching 30 IP.
The IP necessary to reveal the next cache are increased by 3. The total amount
of IPs needed to see 10 locations is 324 (30 + 33 + 36 + 39 + 42 + 45 + 48 +
51). Once all 3 caches in the world are located no IP will be earned until one of
them is destroyed.

this is really only important because i always find people arguing in my squads how lintel is goatherd.

the other important part is

"Once all 3 caches in the world are located no IP will be earned until one of
them is destroyed."

this means after all 3 caches are on the map, there is no point in killing insurgents unless they are in your way, seen way too many times where there is a long distance firefight with insurgents and the US team is loosing tickets for no progress on the map. The only way to win is destroy the caches
