Howdy All, Found a copy of TvsT at the bottom of a drawer. Tempted to re-install but seem to remember hours of frustration when it first came out. Is it worth it? I have the impression this game is as dead as can be. Are they any must-have mods for sp gameplay? And where would they be?
Soz for the dumb questions, can't find mucho info on it so far.
Cheers, Slug

I still have it installed and still play it once in a while... it all depends on what you want... if you want a sim or anything more then just blowing enemy tanks up then your pretty much out of luck,,, but i enjoy booting it up, taking my tank for a spin, and blowing #%&*$# up at range that action games don't do.... actually, posted a series of screens from a nice mission a few weeks ago.. its fun. MP is dead, SP is really just you moving to a location and killing targets, you have AI but there idiots. Theres a very few mods for it but nothing that worth it, i play stock... but try www.tanksim.com or tanksims.com, at work going by memory.

Magnum pretty much hit the nail on the head there,although I thought that there were some guys working on MP. The only real way to see the potential that this game has to offer is to head over to HERE and check out the SP mod by Zeewolf.You have to pay a fee for his main mod but he does have some free stuff that you can try out. Be warned,his mods require a very good PC spec to run well.At least that was my experience.

Thx All for the answers. Will give it a go as out-of-the-box for a little while and see for myself. Bit of a pity.
Cheers, Slug

Just dug out this old one and have been reading about the MMP7 MP mod a few days ago (also mentioned above) but unfortunately I have not been able to find it. Anyone here have it or know where to find it?
To bad this sim was abandoned in such poor state by it's dev's! Would like to give it another go with a few friends in MP...

If you disregard the limited number of scripted missions, the terrible AI, the glitches, the impossible to use mission editor and lack of any technical support since Lighthouse Interactive, the distributor, went bankrupt 4 years ago and G5 the company that created the game even removed it from their website ...The graphics are nice and the maps are great though....
I have a copy of MMP7 which Murkz kindly allowed me to have last year. I haven't even installed it since the game is essentially dead and nobody except those using Zeewolf's single player stuff which is not free though....If Murkz has no objection I could upload it to my file share account and post the link.

PM sent! Thanks for helping out frinik22 and of course thanks to Murkz & Co who made it! You know, it's technically pretty good aside from a few issues. It just lacks content... I can see there was/is big potential but as frinik22 points out it's not finished and to bad dev's and publisher stopped working on it since it could become a great WWII tank sim. /KC

Sorry to hear frinik but such is life... maybe someone else will find MMP7 and make it available somewhere.
I did find earlier versions as well. Anyway thanks for your efforts, appreciated!
