My 2 T-34s and 2 KV 1 tanks that came to the rescue dealt with those nasty StuGs, while I ranged in my coax on the poor Grenadiers. My loader got killed, and since I had just started the game a couple of missions ago, I didn't remember the key to switch crewmember positions, so I couldn't really participate in the tank fight. And when they did attack, they had, iirc, 2 or maybe 3 platoons of infantry supported by 3 StuGs. Hmm, well SPM changes quite a lot of aspects - I passed the South campaign with the T-34 on vanilla SF and I only met a couple o' PaK 38s (four, I think, in various positions around the hamlet) before the counterattack. Only when they started firing did I realize what they were. First time I saw them I saw like "WTF are my guys doing over there!!" - I thought the stupid AI had gone nuts. Now they attack with a couple of captured T34s (cool eh). Tried putting my tank in a shell crater but they still killed me easy.įunny: Before I installed SPM the Germans would attack with pz4s and Stugs. There really is no proper place to go hull-down there, all exposed. So NTA is a vehicle addon for SPM? That would explain the crashes then, since I didn't have SPM installedĪnyway, really enjoying it so far, and I figure this is good practice for the other game when it comes out, it will probably be quite similar gameplay-wise.īeen playing a mission "Krasny Gigant" - defending the village from the german assault is really hard, keep getting killed or wounded and then my entire force abandons the defense. Maybe something with changing to wise rez, because I run my desktop lower than the game. Although it does stop loading at 9% at times. Thanks kapula - I've got it working pretty well now actually, I installed the same mods as you have, not had any major crashes since. I'm not into tanking in RO but this just makes you feel like you're *there*. Solders less so but they the infantry add a LOT to the game. Graphics aren't Crysis or anything but the tanks look really good IMO. Ran smooth as silk on my 5 year old machine. Great performance too for such large maps filled with trees etc. Really spectacular atmosphere.Ĭhasing the few scattered remaining panicked defenders who were running off into the woods, while side by side with a bunch of PPSh wielding Russians yelling war cries was a lot of fun too. I loved it too when some Sturmoviks showed up and started strafing the enemy held trenches. 6 AT guns hidden around the outskirts of the village. Explosions going off everywhere, there were like. my platoon led this huge attack on this little village. On the other hand, if you stay buttoned there's a good chance you'll get nailed by some hidden threat you didn't see. it's extremely helpful to be unbuttoned with your binocs looking for sneaky AT guns (and armor obviously too but that's easier to spot), but it's really easy to get shot in that position. makes you realize just how tough it is to maintain situational awareness in these WW2 tanks. That's one thing this game really does well. It's no cakewalk either, AT guns in particular are pretty tough to spot sometimes, they're often in the brush or just hard to distinguish with all the bushes all over the place obscuring your vision. (war game as in game set in a war, not "wargame")īrings back fond memories of M1 Tank Platoon II, though blasting Stugs is a lot more satisfying than shooting a bunch of ancient T-55s and T-72s in your invincible Abrams. It's not perfect, it's def lacking some polish and the infantry act a bit wonky but all in all this is one of the best war games I've played in a looong time. Well after playing some more this is a really really fantastic game. The orders show up in the screen (the shouting + subtitles) but he refuses to do anything. what could be causing this? Am I accidentally pressing some sort of "disable the driver" key? Oh ya and also, I keep having this problem: For some reason, after a while my driver refuses to move anymore. I'm trying to read the manual about how to use the sights properly (tutorial said to refer to it), but I just can't make sense of it. Like kapula I skipped on the driver training after getting stuck in a tiny ditch for the 5th time in 30 minutes.
