Questions need answers pls

So:
- What is difference between the HEAT and SABOT(I think) shells in tanks? I think HEAT stands for High Explosive Anti Tank round, but I dont know for the SABOT. Whats the difference between both? I figured out the SABOT is effective against armour but the HEAT is so bad against it and it cant even take down a chopper in one hit.
- What's the equivalent of the Iraqi 'Gazelle' helicopter to the US Army?
- Is it normal that the Hind can sometimes be very hard to maneuver?
- Where's the M4?
- Why cant I call in artillery or airstrikes on SP when im a squad leader?
To whoever answers these questions, thanks

SABOT round is antitank: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabot
The "Little Bird" on the US side is the equivalent of the Gazelle
Question about the Hind - Yeah.. it's a beast..
There's no M4 because they weren't in widespread use in Iraq in 1991 by the US army.
There are no artillery strikes in USI with the exception of the mobile artillery pieces.

OK, so what do I use the HEAT for? IFVs and jeeps?
And should'nt the Hind have machine guns on the sides?
And do the mobile arty pieces have an indirect fire option (FH2)? Cos its quite hard seeing far away and getting a precices shot (10m from target is a good shot since the shell makes a BIG explosion).

The HEAT can be used on non-armored targets. It's very effective on infantry. The mobile arty shows it's rounds on the map so you can sort of guide them.
