Ive seen alot of threads b!tching about LOS/LOF issues and most of them get replies like "you aren't allowing the tank to see the enemy well enough", or "try aiming at the top of the enemy". I have proven this theory wrong however, there have been so many circumstances where my tigers will ambush an enemy armor unit or arty battery from behind and while they are within full view (I can see the entire unit when in first person view) they will just sit there not firing, allowing the enemy to reposition themselves and fire taking out my tanks at point blank. This has become increasingly frustrating on the later missions of the german campaign when I have a limited number of highly capable tanks vs. a seemingly unlimited number of russian T-34s and British equivalents.

I agree with most of these replies. I too have a problem with my stupid hull mounted arty turning every which way until finally taking a round to their already pitiful side armor and blowing up. Except mine do it with little or no reasoning, even though they cant see the unit (but others can) they will constantly turn towards it exposing their vital sides to others that ARE in sight. Horrrrrrrific AI. However, as one stated above, I also find it most effective to turn a tank towards an enemy, apply the "dont move" order and than engage them. This usually keeps them pointed at the right enemy. The downside to this is I find myself constantly pausing and unpausing the game to try and reconfigure my tanks just right everytime an enemy gets knocked out. In the later missions this can become frustrating considering the amount of enemies that usually find themselves appearing all over the map and usually turns a 30 minute scenario into hours of micromanaging. Oh yeah, why dont we get the option to take control of individual tanks and troops? This could be done easily enough, even with a simple A W S D configurment.

Thats BS if it really took 3 heat rounds. Any heat round should be over kill for a stupid sherm.

Sorry, couldnt resist:

-Is this patch compatable with the US version? If not when will the US version be available? -Will this fix the god awful crashing that has forced me to stop playing ToW? -Is this going to offer a realistic chance at successfully hosting and playing multiplayer missions throughout the community? -Will this patch/add on, when released U.S., be issued via a CD as it should to its deserving ToW community? -Will there be further patches/add ons such as this one in the future?

Platoon: Which ones do you mean? At the end in that city? Heres another video, massive column of modern german mobile armor moving through the country. Many leopards

Ah ok, I was just commenting on the fact that I knew the Kellys Heroes tank was a mock up T-34. I was sad when I learned this too because it looked so puuurfect in the movie.

Maybe an actual server hosted by C1 or whoever to play MP would be the right choice to make, instead of relying on co-workers and neighbors to have it.

From my favorite mission so far, Kovel. Commander of a tiger I, shelled the onslaught of russian T34's allowing the rest of the reinforcements to get into position and hold off the attack. They were hit by a shell disabling the tank and killing the driver but these crewman hiked through the forest back to friendly trenches where they stayed protected for the remainder of the mission...

Yes. The multiplayer works but only two or three of the whopping eight missions that the dev's provided work. The rest CTD or lock up with "not responding", hence my first post. As it stands they were fools to release such a beta multiplayer at full retail price of $45 ($63 for me I bought the game case which hasnt been delivered might I add).

I dont really hate it but what were they thinking adding multiplayer which crashes 99% of the time.

Yeah I was just logging on to post a thread about the same thing! Happy to know its not just me. Cant wait for the print manual but when I ordered the game it said nothing about a late ship date. WTF

I created a test mission for MP using the walk through read me step by step. But when I went to multiplayer I couldnt find the mission. Whats up with these missions not appearing?

Thats your fault for having a buggy game not our fault for having Nvidia's. They are stable cards, never will I go back to a Radeon. Issue a patch for christ sakes.

I love this game guys, dont get me wrong but this thing crashes like a SOB. Anyone else getting CTD's, especially when in the game menus (looking at soldiers stats, assigning skills). I sure hope the patch fixes this crap.
