Yeah that Pz IV model switch is caused by the SP 1.4 mod Peter For some reason when they did the SP 1.4 mod they made the PzIV F1 model the tank for the first 2 or 3 missions of the campaign, after those missions I do believe you get the PzIV F2 back. I agree with you also I have no love for the PzIV F1 either, wish they would have just left the well enough alone on that one .

The Unofficial Mod has no bearing on this PzIV model switch as it only addressed some localization errors and a few game bugs. I'm not even sure you need it if your using the SP 1.4 mod. My understanding is the SP mods were cumulative, so when you activate SP 1.4 your also getting all of the previous SP mods back to SP 1.0 which I think included the Unoffical Patch (could be wrong on this one). Just so there is no confusion Pete in my other posts about activating the Unofficial Patch last in JSGME was only because the latest mods coming from the RU (like Tiger Mod 0.98) changed the English game user interface to Russian. By activating the Unofficial Mod last it changed the game user interface back to English.


P.S. You could try installing the previous SP 1.3 mod instead of SP 1.4, that would get you your PzIV F2's back but you would be giving up anything new or improved that was added in SP 1.4. I would compare both SP 1.3 and SP 1.4 read me text and see if rolling back would be a viable option for you.

Hmm...when I installed SF originally 2 - 3 days ago I had the Mark IV Special (Pz IV F2). Now after I installed Steel Panzer 1.4 mod and the unofficial mod 0.1 eng...I now for some reason have either the F-1 or the E model...using the short barrel 75m canon. How the heck do I get my Mark IV Special back?

Thanks!

Peter

This is error of Steel Panzer Mod.

Somethings you can try, pressing #7, this will give an order to the driver to "Get Cover". Use your map, it maybe possible work your way around the enemy and attack from the rear or sides were he's most vulnerable. Also use the exterior view to find new vantage points or even possible choke points. The hardest thing to master is knowing when to bug out and move to another position. One or two shots and your okay, more then that and your really pushing it. Another item to check out is the "free camera mod". I don't use it, but if I understood it purpose correctly it changes your camera views so you can move over the battlefield rather then being fixed to views around your tank. I don't see it as a cheat for AT weapons like the StuGIII. If your going to defend an area your going to want to know where to move if your original postion becomes detrimental to your health As I'm sure real life AT commanders did also. I don't know if pressing the games "pause" key freezes the action and will let you look around for another position, but it's worth a shot to try.
