Zeewolf,
I doesn`t mean stuck in the game but that i didn`t completed it because of the difficulty. The germans are coming from 2 sides. one side I can handle but then the other side with tigers... I take advantage of the landscape but this mission is really tough and that is something i like....

Zee Wolf's Revenge
Java's that Zee Wolf' s revenge for you.I experienced the same .Before I used to win those Soviet missions fairly easily.Now with ZW's improvements, the German AI is aggressive and the few T34s just can't make it.One possible reason is that the Russian creators of the original game made the T34 much stronger than they actually were and weakened the Panzer IVs and Tigers capacity to even the odds.Which is why many Soviet missions include an insufficient number of T34s to even hope to complete the mission. If you want to see the difference, install the game without ZW's mods and improvements and play you will see the difference(You may fail it a couple of times but eventually you'll succeed).
That's what I said in another posts; the German missions are easier now and the Soviet ones much tougher.Which is as it should be. Last edited by frinik; 01-13-10 at 11:23 PM. |

Right and tactically its a numbers game.
X amount of dead T-34's = 1 dead tiger Depending on crew training and discipline use of terrain and ability to get within the 500 meter range for a flank or rear quarter shot. You can be an elite T-34 Commander by leaving the pack and doing an end around using low terrain and trees to beat the Tiger whilst he destroys your comrades. This sim is back from the grave thanks to Zee!

Numbers game
You right Wilcke, but it shouldn't be that way.With Tvs T, a major problem - which has yet to be corrected ( and I know that ZeeWolf has said that he is going to work on it) - is that the AI has X Ray eyes or is capable of seeing through thick forests and can take you out with imunity. I have tried many mission carefully concealed or even trying to sneak behind enemy lines just to be killed in 2 to 3 shots by tanks I could not psopsibly see or which could not possibly see me in real-life situations.This is one aspect of TvsT which I believe most fans of the game have repeatedly critised because it really spoils any kind of variety-creativity or strategy that we would like to bring to the game.Sometimes you have no choice but to stick to the scenario in order to finish successfully a mission.So the game ought not to be a mere numbers game but also one where tactics and smarts can prevail.
This is where ZW comes in and will save that game from it's built-in flaws.This is why many of us are willing to bank him and reward his hard work in giving CPR to that game. Cheers! |

i bet it's the russian tanks that can see your Tiger, while Tigers can't "see" your t34 when somewhat hidden

Right frinik, well documented problem with AI since the release of TvT, and an AI problem common to many sims. I use the low areas to block view from the AI, it works rather well. My original post was probably unclear.
I do like the variety in that some T-34 crews fight well while others cut and run. I cannot say enough about Zee's work and its nice to see this sim come back from the dead. All in all I am having a wonderful time fighting the Tiger! I like the fact that the Russian infantry now have teeth. I ignored them last night as I was repeating the first sets of mission and they got the best of me twice. Nice to see that!

X Ray Eyes
Wilcke I play Panzer Elite and STeel Fury and with PE it s true the same problem but SF does not have that problem which I like about it. IT s much more realistic in that sense because AI that has superhuman abilities defeats the purpose of having good shooting and spotting skills. THis is an area in which our friend ZW wil make a big difference.
YES Sharbait its the T34 only who mostly can spot you through walls and trees. How did you know? |

Lc Summers, since this thread is reserved for T vs T, out of courtesy for ZW I will post the link on the Steel FUry resources thread.
Cheers |

Hello fellow tankers. It finally arrived!!!!!!!! Yes my second copy (the first I just gave it away to a friend ) and my second chance with this pearl. I didn't install the new campaign yet, just bringing havoc to some t34s, but this week I shall do the honours to the new MOD. Thank You Zeewolf |

I guess I'm like a lot of you guys here. I had given up on TvT and shelved it early on until Zeewolf came up with his intentions to make it what it always should have been. I just reinstalled the game yesterday, added Zeewolf's Xmas present mod plus his mission 6 fix. The game plays great so far-no crashes or errors yet. I'm just finishing mission 2 played in a Tiger.
I have a couple questions about the game. When I'm in the Commander's position and come under attack the game will continually force me into either the driver or gunner position. I will have to repeatedly keep inserting myself back to the Commander position. The same thing hapens when in the gunner slot the game throws me into the driver position leaving the gunner empty. Seems to be triggered by the first incoming rounds and continues until things settle down. As I recall this was present in the stock game and is very frustrating. I find myself giving commands only to find out that I'm now somewhere else. I re insert myself only to be kicked out again when the next round lands. Is there a way to lock the player into a given position? Second question; When moving forward and suddenly wanting to stop I hit the "S" key but I find that the driver more often than not throws the tank in reverse. By hitting the down arrow key I can put the tank in nuetral and this seems to help-am I doing something wrong here? Is there a key command for "STOP"? Thank you Zeewolf for bringing back new like into this game. It's my intention to buy your mod as soon as it's ready.

My knee jerk reaction to what you describe is a joystick issue. one "rule of thumb" is to clear the T34 vs Tigers Cache folder and reboot after any install to the game as well can head off a few anomalies. ZeeWolf |
