Current ZeeWolf Releases

[frinik]

New version of German 3 mission successfully installed and played. I like the artillery barrage and the new initial placement for player´s Tiger makes more sense.Good work Zee!. Barely moved 50 metres and killed 3 T34s only thanks to much more efficient and active friendly PAK and Tiger-Panzer IV crews!!!!

More tanks too.FPS however decreased from 18-23 in the original version to between 8.1 to 11.2 in new version.Still playable.The questionis why such a steep decrease????.

Very positive experience overall

Zee thanks folr the releases.However just a couple of questions of general interest.

I like many others already have the new German mission 3( Defending Simashkovo) with the artillery barrage etc.What´s new about this one?

2) Can you tell briefly what the May updates will offer in terms of game play etc?

Cheers and thanks for the hard work!

It's the same one (GM3). I wanted to put them together in one zip and Pass
word for convenience.
I'm sorry that was not mentioned, another "can't see the forest for the trees" thing.

The may updates are simply small changes to some files that is probably
going to be unnoticed to you as you play the sim but I felt necessary to
do. One thing that will help in keeping things user friendly is I will no longer
put files in the single mission releases that will affect other missions. This
will make installing and un-installing of the mission alot easier while keeping
other files undisturbed .

Zee, I successfully downloaded the whole package. I played Mission 4.Unfortunately I have to report very low fps(3.9 to 5.1) even lower than Kursk Mission 1 and choppy play.
The first time mission loaded but when I tried to start my Tiger it crashed with runtime error message.Second time I played it but had to steer my Tiger always to the right as it was pulling me to the left.Then just 200 metres from the action my Tiger stalled and was like stuck in quicksand with the caterpillar tracks halfway buried into the ground.No matter how hard I tried shifting forward, backward and side ways I couldn't move my tank.I had to content myself with watching the Panzer 4 on top of the hill firing and destroying Soviet units which I couldn't see .I finally self-destructed and ended the mission without firing a shot!
Tried again but mission crashed soon after starting with runtime error again.I played it again one last time after lowering resolution to 800 X 640 and some other features. FPS did pick up a bit but not much.I decided to run my tank using the F5 view.I finally managed to get to the battlefield and destroyed 1 Su and 2 T34S.My tank was hit repeatedly and both tracks were disabled thus unabel to complete mission. However most Soviet units were put out of action.My problems aside good, solid mission with an intense and exciting tank battle.Good battle immersion Zee. However I 'll have to wait for my new rig ( hopefully within 2 weeks) before I can play it again in normal conditions.Once again a small comment ; the in game maps are very unhelpful.Would it be possible to have instead the pre game maps with the objectives available when playing a mission?

Soviet night mission # 3 very pleasant. Seeing that beautiful full moon I felt so romantic that I drove my T34 and burnt a few Tigers and Panzer IVs to entertain my Belle so we could have a tank lit dinner .

Anyway job well done Zee tremendous work!

Zee I understand your point about new playable tank. However I would argue that the KV85 is as tough and nasty as a T34/85 althouh it's 85 mm gun( a ZIS 53???) is not as effective.What would be interesting in the medium or long term would be to have an option for the player to chose one of various playable models prior to starting a mission.Panzer Elite has that option and Steel Fury through its various mods or fairly simple mission editor also allows it.It would give everybody the chance to chose the tank/SP or armoured vehicle that they really enjoy playing and make the missions playable over and again.

Cheers
