Default interface

WolfAngriff, TvsT is a multiPlayer game fiorst and foremost.It was never intended to be SP.The 12 existing stock misisons are merely for training so the player could get the hang of both tanks controls and then move on to the MP which was the game's bread and butter.This is why the SP missions are ridiculously buggy and not well polished.This is also why there is no command interface as exists in other sims like Panzer Elite, Steel Fury(in a limited fashion) or Panzer Front.Those games are mostly SP or at least mixed (as for PE).

Zee Wolf is modding the game and giving birth/spawning a wonderful new SP mod which will make TsvT into a real SP sim.It's not impossible in the near future that he may turn his attention to the interface part in order for the player to be able to truly command his wingmen.Like you I would be happy to have some degree of control over the AI because it tends to act dumbly(running around in circle or dancing the twist), rashly( rampaging rambos) and is very unpredictable.

However this will have to wait until after the Kursk mod is released.Meanwhile at least ZW has markedly improved the AI behaviour and everybody who bought into his mod can enjoy it and those who didn't well can sample the freebies he released....
