Tips:

 

Campaign is designed for good gunners, otherwise use icons, difficulty is hard. You can fight as Commander/Gunner or Commander only (not tested). Ferdinand is almost indestructible from the front, but be very careful of side impacts. Direct hit from heavy artillery can kill You...(probability +-5%)

I want to start the first mission, but it does not start. Click on to hangar button, but nothing happens.

Updated for 4.501 patch?

Thanks for the quick fix. Did the first 2 missions. 1st one is a great training mission to get the feel. Although there is no real action in the 2nd one I still like it for it's cinematics, very immersive. Not important at all, but maybe you want look into the Bf109 (4x) flight patrol where the IL2 attack. I hear "adler/eagle" radio engaging but still it appears that they do not attack IL2 and just keep formation.

I surely keep playing and will report anything noticeable. ?

Hi, I just wanted to thanks you for creating this exciting campaign for the Ferdinand, an ugly, slow vehicle, with poor visibility but that captured my heart and it is my favorite one at Tank Crew. I was impressed by the battle environment on the plains of Kursk that you have created in your campaign (I only missed infantry taking cover behind the tanks, unfortunately this simulator still does not allow to develop that). Okay, I'll get to the point, thanks again for all your effort and hopefully you will soon design another campaign that could be officially included in the game.??

Hi Saldy,

 

Excellent Campaign on the Ferd.

 The PDF Doc, Mission Pics and script added to the historic "feel" of the missions and I had great enjoyment playing the Campaign.

I have read most of the Unit Histories on this AFV, and your first Action Mission, after the realistic night time deployment, was very entertaining.

It must have been terrifying to advance through minefields(Their own initially) and under heavy bombardment, in a steel leviathan with a novel powertrain!

 

Saldy, your attention to Historical details is greatly appreciated, it is enjoyable to read an "after battle report" and then try out a simulation based of your missions. 

 

Tank crew is a great Simulation/Game, but it would soon lose its appeal if it were not for Campaign Builders and Artists, from the loyal community, who give up their spare time to share their talent with the rest of us. Thank you very much.

 

The only missing element in TC are more humans eg Grenadiers, but this will be addressed by the Software Company in the future, because it listens to the users.

Thanks mate for sharing this campaign about the " Ferdy "! Great job! S!

[Calos_01]

Thank you very much for this campaign. A lot of slow driving and long range shooting. Really admire your attention to detail. In fact it was the first tank crew campaign I tried and I´m amazed.

Just downloaded v0.9 today WoW. third mission in Campaign already. Lots of surrounding things going on makes for a fantastic event, (mine was longer due to two treads blown off). Can't thank you enough for this one. still at it.

When I press start nothing happens

[thorsfury]

When I load the campaing, the first training mission shows "Mission Description is Loading", when I click START it says Please Wait for a second but nothing happens?

 

Interestingly I can open the mission file with "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad\bin\editor\STEditor.exe" but not with "E:\Games\IL-2 Tank Crew\bin\editor\STEditor.exe"

 

...and then I just updated the steam version of stalingrad, and it now cannot open the file either

Hi, what happens is that with the last update, user made missions and campaings doesnt work any more, but it is very easy to fix, in fact you have to do this with every mayor update. You only have to go to the editor, go to tools, and then click were say "resave all missions in folder", then you select the folder were tha campaing is, and that it. It will resave the files and then you can play the campaing in the game.
