Can tanks be used on the mission editor?

[savagebeest]

I tried adding some tanks and set one as player and when I launched the mission I'm floating in the air looking down at the houses. I also never realised dogs barking in the background.  Cool effect for immersion.  Thanks in advance.

vehicles have their own spawn marker - its called under airfields and called "fakevehiclefield".

 

Did you add player tanks to the spawn point? use the ones that start with an underscore for players.

 

What type of mission were you creating? Deathmatch (dogfight), single or Co-op?

 

Salute

Only the top set of tanks listed in the vehicle section are able to be driven by players and only two, the panzer IIIL and T34stz can be driven by players that don't own the Tank Crew expansion. Hope this helps

To add to that, those are the ones starting with an underscore. Those are also the detailed versions of the tanks, so if you want them to respond properly to radio commands in a tank platoon and use slightly more advanced AI, you should use those.

Fantastic.  Thank you. Yes I own the tank crew game. I own everything on il2 except flying circus which is next lol.
