Graviteam's list of reviews (many in Kyrillic, note that the early ones are written on the basis of the Russian release of the game, which is not completely identical to the western release, thus they are not explicitly listed in the SF resources, since we focus on the Western release here):

Patches:

unofficial temporary patch v0.1, 1st December 2008 (thx woofiedog)
http://tanksim.org.ru/wfdownloads-si...-17-lid-49.htm
"The patch 0.1 is noted as being in the form of a mod, so can be reversed at your choice or if the publisher gets its act together and makes a properly working western version." (thx Lieste)


Alternatively, this modder's patch can be used to add the missing German sights to the Pz-IV.

The tracks being thrown off when hitting 'T' for periscope control can be avoided by remapping the view control to a different key.

(if you are playing an english install and don't want to figure out how to read Russian the hard way, I have found a quick fix that will return your menu language to english. In "Tiger_Mod_v1.0\data\k42\loc_rus" find the folder called "text." in that folder there should be a text file called "loc_kit" rename that file or move it to a different spot. so far it has returned all my menu tabs back to english but I'll still take a good look around to see if it messed anything up-SH427)
