Mini Map

[chilemike]

Trying to get the mini map to show.  Have it selected in settings, toggle M and nothing.  Pressing O brings up the full screen map.  Just noted some screen shots with the mini map in the lower corner.  Thanks

That minimap is pretty much worthless for the tankers. It's way too small.The  O key is a better option

Just saw some using it, thought to try it.  Thanks!!

I just took a spin in the PzIII M using the QMB, NORMAL settings to see if I could duplicate what you are seeing, and toggling the M-key seems to be working for me. I forgot to try, but does the mini-map show while in EXPERT setting? If you have the SIM set to EXPERT, switch to NORMAL and see if it changes anything.

Go to Key mapping:Service:Change ingame map mode.Try it.See what you think

[chilemike]

Switching to Normal brings up the mini map.  Thanks for the advice.  You are correct though, not much help in tank.

Yep, finished product all right :^)

The map has been working like this since day 1 of Battle of Stalingrad, so your sarcasm is unwarranted.

Oh, so if something doesn't work, and it doesn't work even more with other module, then it's all right since "it has been there since the begining"? Okay then, noted :^)

C'Mon gentlemen, this mini map was never designed to be used for tank battles - btw. to me it is more like a "radar". So, if you really need a good map, you better

press the O-key and you get a full map with more details and this also works since the beginning.

 

And depending on the server realism settings you will get more or less information depicted on the map.

I agree. It would be a real nice feature if the map resolution was changed to accommodate vehicle play on the maps. It would make things a lot more easier/enjoyable for anyone that uses the command feature with AI tank platoons to be able to see which tank in the platoon is where on the map. At the moment, it can get pretty hard at times to keep track of multiple tanks in a platoon as you give individual orders for coordinated movement.

Yes, I see. We can only hope that this may be addressed with the Marshal Mode, which was already announced a long time ago. They didn't release it yet, because they

want to do right, as Jason already stated some time ago in a DD. So, I'm very confident that this mode will be something great and will definitely bring MP to another

level.
