I downloaded the demo tonite. seems to be version .94. When I went to join a game it apperas to be up to either .98 or 1.21 Either way when I used the updater - per the instructions - there's activity but the game version never updates...so what's next?

To those who replied, thanks, appreciate it. I'm a tanker (recently retired). I have some T72 time. The crux of my inquiry was to see if the devloper accessed a no kidding Russian version of what we would call the FM 17-12 series. Those of you who have U.S Army tank time will understand what I'm getting at. A publication such as this (if it exists in a format similiar to ours)would provide a fairly accurate idea of anticipated engagement times (gets to actual gunnery standards, not 2nd or 3rd party guestimates). I know something exists dated from 1988 as I had a guy in the CIS offer to "exchange it" for "other information I could provide" when I made an inquiry in another forum; sorry, no thanks to that one. I've found that virtually no one discusses tank gunnery training (not opinions, but actual extracts of standards) in any forum either "cold war" or WWII. I think it's a key topic that's often overlooked. Thanks for the Fofanov link, had lost it and wondered where he got off to. Cheers, Rallye72

This question is for the game developer for this title. What official Russian military references were you able to draw on in the design and performance of the T72. For instance were you able to access Russian tank gunnery training manuals, T72 operator manuals, ammunition performance data (from where?) etc ? How did you determine acquisition and engagement time parameters ?
