T34 vs Tiger- Kursk 1943 coming soon!

[morttheslayer]

Hello Frinic excellent news from you at last. Such a minor act resulting in major pain eh!!
You are right about the new Win7 OS, they are all great until they go kaput, even XP had its little foibles.
So far, from my POV Windows 7 seems very stable and (fairly) easy to manipulate. I too favour ATI GPUs at present but I'm running a NVidea 9800GTX+ with no problems except I could wish for better frame rates in TvsT. I know a better (ATI??) card would lift the performance by; I believe some 15-20%, depending on the model. I only have to move the outside TvsT view to overhead, or F5 commander binocular view and I get an increase in the region of - say from 8FPS to 12 FPS for example.
To be fair you can have up to 2Gb of onboard card memory but if your bandwidth is retricted - like they are on the midrange versions or the memory 2Gb of GDDR3 instead of say 1Gb or less of GDDR5 I guess you know the GDDR3 ain't gonna have as much "Welly" or impact.
Yet another thing to save up for eh!!
Never mind if you have doubled your FPS you are going in the right direction mate. You might get a driver update that may lift it a bit also.

Now I digress - I've got a new sky to install and more Tiger Crew to get shot up!!
Still on fatigues painting the Morty estate though - hope the weather holds here.
All the very best Morty

Mission 2 (Kursk) all running nice. Too busy avoiding shells to admire any new trees. The early Russian barrage seemed to be better than ever, the effects in the Half Light are better IMO than full daylight.
I actually survived!!! I wasn't a lead tank though, I bravely cruised in the middle of the pack. I tried some long range gunnery but I find that shooting and moving makes "zeroing in" on targets difficullt. Saw 2 Tigers hit and burn in front of me and it makes you aware that if you get clobbered you're a gonner!! My Tiger seems to drive like a - well very heavy tank!! It tracks slightly sideways (i.e. slight drift) sometimes, but I put this down to the the lie of the terrain and it looks and "feels" (as much as you can "feel") Right on. I only comment because in these Kursk missions I am going as fast as possible at the start, unlike the earlier "tamer" missions (Nos 1-6) when you seemed to have more time to position for attack.
All in all - NICE Splendid Job Zee

Over and Out - Morty
and I still love you in that special Panzer Commander sort of way!!

Did I miss a download??

[KdF]

Yep! Sure as heck did. Good 'Ol Roadrunner, stuck it in the trash folder on their site. Lucky "I" know where to look. Gotta love Time Warner.

Not.

Glad to hear from you KdF,

I posted as no-one else had commented in detail. Just one point I forgot to mention in last post I had to repeat the first mission to "unlock" the second (last) Kursk mission. I guessed this was the case but had to endure the ear bashing of artilliary again when I was impatient to get into Mission 2!!! Mentioned in case someone thinks its a bug for not showing up on the mission list immediately.

All the Best over and out - Morty

Thanks Morty for reminding me of that, about the unlocking. There is a work around that, by adding to the registry the new ZITADELLE Campaign to the T34 vs Tiger Reg Key. This will enable the missions in all campaigns to be viewed in the menu. It's called "Zitadelle_.reg".
All you do is double mouse click on it one time, that's it!. The location is:

<drive>\Lighthouse Interactive\T34vsTiger\Zitadelle_.reg

This is the best way I could come up with that will add what is needed
to the registry without going in the registry or creating a exe file.

Way to go Morty!

Hi there guys, I just started playing T34 vs Tiger, I started the first mission but I tried half an hour to figure out why the tank wouldn't move,I didn't knew what was wrong I started the engine puted in first gear but nothing, then I realized the hand brake was on

[morttheslayer]

Thanks Zee but I remember a post sometime back when we were getting to grips with the first beta missions and you said something like - "but the thought of you guys messing about in the Registry fills me with dread"!!
I laughed out loud - loved it!! I'll mess though
You'll be running out of ranks for me soon

Infernos - what can I say???
Just wait until your driver goes "rogue" on you. Mine can't reverse a Damn
Sorry been enjoying myself too much - back to the painting!!

All the Best - Morty
