Update 5.203

Hi All

 

I've been playing the frack out of the new quick missions, WOW! these are so good (for auto generated missions), challenging, fun, quite realistic.

 

I just wish we had Soviet and German infantry so we could there could be an option to do infantry support missions, protecting them from enemy MGs and light units on the attack while looking out for enemy AT guns and tanks. 

 

Thanks Team

 

Keep up the good work!

 

Cheers

I agree, they are a great addition to the game, but I do miss having German and Russian Infantry Squads being provided as part of this.

It's starting to be fun again! Thanks to the developers! If only a Porsche King Tiger and the T-34 (85) came along!

Yes, it's providing hours of new enjoyment, and making me push my limits! I managed to go 1v12+ in the KV-1 versus overwhelming forces and light air support for both sides in a strongpoint defence mission. It was exhilarating and by the end so many components were damaged or destroyed, the commander blown to smithereens, my engine and both tracks too, yet I had won. 

 

I did it with a heavy load of HE to tracks to swing tanks sideways as they advanced, then APCR to the ammo storage if I was lucky, or APHE if I ended up on it from a miss-roll using the keybind (I am using a button box to stand in for sim equipment and have ammo on a rotary encoder, it can be sooo easy to switch too many times haha and lose count of which shell I am on) - I got lucky with one Tiger that got close that I didn't see, that shot me, and bounced off of the corner of my roof-side joining area, letting me hit him in the driver's port and either kill enough crew to stun him, or just leave him disabled to let me get around the side and finish the poor lads off. 

 

One of my favourite parts of the simulator, is the stories it weaves. You struggling through an attack mission half blind and working from commander info, or just about managing to destroy a tank you thought you had no chance to in a close range duel racing to load the shells first... I am falling back in love with Tank Crew!

Couldn't agree more, great move by the developers. I was always a big fan of the Quick Mission Generator, but the updated version is really next level stuff. If adding more collector vehicles is out of reach at the moment, would the Developers consider adding the Quick Mission Generator to other maps. It doesn't have to include a built up area, and the current map resolution doesn't need to be updated.  The best tank battles are on open terrain with rolling hills, forests, and rock formations. I believe all of the maps should have areas like that.
