How can he see where it is hitting?  Is there some sort of satalite image screen I don't know about?  All I can see is a screen with the whole map.  Can you zoom or something?
yeah when you are commander you press caps lock then N to zoom the map. you have 3 levels (2 zoom levels plus an aerial view of the battle where you can see precisely where everyone is including enemies, missiles and everything)
WOW!  Thats totally badass!  Wish I would have known about that before, lol!  Thanks!
Yes, yes it is

It kinda feels like those old Close Combat games, except no one follows your orders

I agree, the commander in question is just...skilled in unorthodox tactics. I have seen something similar and equally strange on Sharqi:

Somebody jumped in the TOW at the south base and proceeded to guesstimate a shot at the MEC heli. luckily enough, he landed a shot right as we were taking off, after firing 3-4 times unsuccessfully.
Hmmm.....

My brother's clan spent an hour and a half going over how to hit:

MEC chopper from hotel
USMC chopper from hotel
USMC chopper from Surveillance post.

Worked quite well actually.

Similar example is I got killed at Square by HJ-8 shoting from suburb
There is a stats problem in BF2 that may also be the cause of these kills.  Indeed, the commander might have hit you with a TOW/HJ-8 from far away (either by skill or luck), but it can appear that any player gets you from far away .... IF you get killed with a claymore or AT mine while the player is mounted in a TOW/HJ-8, the kill will be registerd as TOW/HJ-8 and not claymore/AT mine (I've noticed this frequently, since I tend to lay a lot of mines and deploy a lot of claymores).

I can also throw a grenade at someone, immediately jump in the TOW without firing it, and should the grenade kill the enemy, it will show up as

me [TOW] enemy rather than me[Hand Grenade] enemy

Just another software problem with Battlefield 2 that can drive you nuts ...

Same deal happened to me on Karkand today. I was in a humve going past the burning care by the hotel. Soon as I rounded the corner... BOOM, tow killed me. I know for a fact that a TOW does not have access to that spot either.

Realistically, it was this.

Commander was a sniper and dropped a Claymore at the hotel, when you found the claymore, he was sitting ona TOW.

Very COmmon Description error in the game.  Happens to me a lot, WIth Claymores and AT Mines...
happened to me last night on sharqi, going up the TV station steps, see the claymore too late and it says I've been killed by a TOW in the middle of a large building!

I was playing Karkand on MEC side. While I was defending at hotel flag, I got killed by TOW shoting from the west USMC artillery.  The guy who killed me with TOW is the USMC commander, he was just stay in the TOW at west artillery.
