A tank campaign?

[hames123]

Can we have a tank campaign for the base game, just to build hype for the new tank based sim? It can have a German campaign and a Soviet one, no need for a story, just a series of missions that make sense. For example, the first German missions will be large groups of tanks and halftracks attacking villages and Soviet positions on the far West side of the map. During the city battle itself, their tanks and halftracks will go into the city, which will be filled with enemy AT guns and MGs. Later, they will mainly find themselves in large tank battles against lots of T-34s, in support of their infantry(represented by MG 34s and AT guns).

 

What do you think?

Pointless at the moment because the AI sees everything everywhere and can lob shots at the player over obstacles.

There is a tank campaign by DED-Olaff that deals with the Kalinin tank raid in October 1941:

But it's only available in Russian.

Yes, there are plenty of things that need to be ironed out for tanks before they come out.

 

Two other big things:

1. Tanks don't recognize rivers/bridges, so they try to drive through them and sink.
2. When a tank (or any ground vehicle) bumps into another object they explode and die (i think this excludes trees). So not very easy to make a mission.
