1. It's great. Charging through the rain in a line of T-34-85's is awesome!

2. Several display lock-ups. Won't reset like I get in Call of Duty. The game basically stops and you have to exit to desktop and restart. Maybe my machine, maybe not. (EDIT: Gone when I play without AA)

3. In 1.61 (base + patch) I only get 3 SP missions. Only 1 is a "real" mission. And Armoury and another option (forgotten) are greyed out.

4. The editor is great as always and where I'm playing the most to get some tank time. But no group command mode as seen in ARMA2 OA where you can command units outside your own section. Great pity. (EDIT: Yes there is, I'm stupid)

5. First BAD point - when you're gunning in a tank and can't see much, not a big help for the AI to get left, right, in front and behind mixed up. Where is that enemy tank?

6. Second BAD point - King Tigers will focus on shooting down a circling enemy fighter with their big gun. Crazy.

7. Oh yeah, it's still good and so atmospheric. Potential classic in time.

When it crashes in the first 10 secs of a mission, not so good.

Made it past the first two crashes and the training so far.

Not bad, played WWII Online for 10 years and wish it looked like this.

I can't get past the 2nd mission in the German campaign.

Click to reveal..
I unload the PaK gun and then just stand around while some T-34s show up. The animation on the tanks is really jittery. After the friendly AI blows up the tanks, Me and two AI guys are supposed to get in a Kubelwagon (me as a passenger) to go investigate what happened to our spotter. I think one of the AI guys keeps getting killed because only me and the driver get into the Kubelwagon and then the driver won't drive. We just sit there until we blow up for some reason.

I restarted 3 times and it's the same every time. On the 2nd time, I left the Kubelwagon and went on foot. I found the spotter and that gave me the next set of orders, but the previous ones about getting in the Kubelwagon were still showing and the game didn't know what to do. The Soviets launched their next attack, but the Germans were still stuck on the "get in the car" script and stood around and got killed.


I'll install the patch and see if that fixes things.

That worked no problem for me.

I didn't spot the mortars though whilst up at the windmill and I failed that but the mission won't move on or finish....

To get it to move on I had to drive the Kubelwagon right up to the officer and he leaned in and the mission completed.

I switched to English version of Motherland campaign and restarted, no crashes after patch.

Does seem a bit picking on locations to start the changes or voiceovers

Oh, I was on the English voices already. Oh well, I don't really care about the SP too much anyway, plus it's the first day smile
