I've never been commander, but to get you a quick response...

If you are in titan mode there is no orbital strike. The guns on the underside of the titan kind of take it's place. If you are in conquest mode, I don't know, but you assume it's very similar to ordering an EMP strike or UAV.

ok...

when you order an orbital strike make sure its directly on top of whatever you want to kill or else chances are not much will happen when orbital striking a vehicle IT IS IMPERATIVE TO USE EMP or they will just drive away when a vehicle is emp'd it cant move and orbital strike does agreat deal of damage to vehicles so they cant move and you get an instant kill

for people make sure you issue the strike right on top of whoever you want to kill

sure it seem inefficient but thats what usually must be done to get a kill in an orbital strike

When playing as commander type 'boobs' on your keyboard and Pamela Anderson is podded onto the map naked!

No seriously - when in your command screen it's the button on the right. Click it and your cursor changes, then click again on the map to fire it.

use the home key to access you commander and squad leader order screen. When in commander mode there are tabs at the bottom of the screen for using the commander assets. Click on the tab and your mouse pointer will change to a plus symbol and click on the map where you want to use it. You can also right click on the map and a list of options will show up. Orbital strike is only available in conquest mode.

When using orbital strike, always zoom in the tatical map when in commander mode. You can pinpoint the attack location very accurately with the zoom function. Be sure to use the area scan first to make sure there are targets to hit with your orbital strike. Another thing i noticed is the orbital strike is instananeous. Meaning when you fire it there is no wait for it to hit the target. In BF2 you had to lead targets with artillery or you would miss them all day.

You should be able to request an orbital strike using the T rose when squad leader....but if there is no commander you're not going to get one :D

To do an orbital streak, you need to go to the International Space Station, and run naked around the outside....

Street? MY GOD MAN, he said orbital!!!! You'd have to run around the entire GLOBE with your clothes off. Or easier yet, be naked in an orbiting space shuttle!

Hmmm never thought of that.. to orbit something means to circumnavigate something... but nobody said it had to be the PLANET. SO get naked and throw a hat on the floor.. then run circles around it in public. There ya go, orbital streaking.

Simply run naked in the middle of an Orbital STRIKE. See? easy.

How to "orbital streak":

The commander must offer a lamb up in sacrifice, whereupon GOD shalt smite the foe with His divine wrath!

Uggg.. I assume you mean orbital strike. Can't do it in titan.
Conquest, when your comander, Press "T" and it should be in there, place it like a spot marker. OR you can do it from your commander map (CAPS), Scan frist, it always seems to help. Then click the button "Orbital strike" and place it where you want, This would usally be: a point thats getting caped or where the highest amout of troops is. After a while you'll kwon where it is need mosted. Hopes this helps.
