Purchase

[Ganbo]

I'd like to buy TANK CREW but I cant find it on Steam.

Can I buy it on your website and than activate the purchase-code on steam?

 

Thanks.

No, I'm afraid not, for two reasons:

 

Firstly, Tank Crew is in early access, and Steam doesn't normally allow such software on their platform. And secondly Steam will almost certainly consider Tank Crew to be DLC for the Battle of Stalingrad title, as with all the other content, when it does become available. Which would mean that you'd have to purchase BoS on Steam first (assuming you haven't already). This isn't of the developers choosing, but unfortunately Steam are very inflexible in that regard.

 

If you want to play Tank Crew now, and don't want to be forced into buying content you don't need, I'd forget about Steam entirely. You gain little benefit from using it, and what you pay for content goes straight to the developers, rather than giving Steam a cut.

Thanks for your reply.

So I did it, I bought the game and I really enjoy about it.

But I have some questions:

1:

I recall command menu but my crew dont do anything. No moving or firing at all, no start or switch off the engine. Nothing. I do something wrong or AI is not implemented yet?

2:

I'm not able to set my joystick to move the cannon. What's the command? 

3:

I'm not able to switch on the interior light. "L" is set in command list but it dosent work.

You first have to start the autopilot, when in driver's position, then go to commander's position, open the command menu with 'Tilde' and look form the right command.

It is not supported by the game. Moving the turret and the turret guns only works with the mouse, except you use a third party tool Joy2Key.

Did you press it a second time, because in the Panzer IV, I just tested, the first time pressing the key for internal light, only turned on the gunsight illumination, and the second time pressing the key turned on the internal light.

Thanks for your replay.

 

1- Oh god, I didnt think about it. Ok, I'll try...

2- Really?!? Why 3rd part software? It's a so importat feature...but ok, i'll try that software.

3- Really strange. I pressed a lot of time L but nothing happens. I'll try with the Panzer like you said. 

 

Thanks a lot.

TC is still early access, so let's cross fingers, that it will get implemented at some time.

I installed JoyToKey and now it works really well. I set rudder and thrust too. Now it's really really better.

I played with command menu and after a little while, I set a target. Target Icon pop up on my target, then I order to attack the target but...nothing. AI pilot in set to ON, but the AI dosent want to attack.

 

P.S.: Key L work fine. I press it twice and now it works. Others command work properly (like movement and other things)

Yes, it does not always work. I tried it once in QMB and it did not work, too. You could try scripted missions, maybe it works there. It is a bit dissappointing to have such tools, not working properly, but you know, early access, so let's hope for the best. There were some improvements for TC announced for the next update IIRC. And with your joystick working now for moving turret and gun, shooting yourself will make most fun anyway.

Thanks a lot Yogi!
