Thanks, Alan!
Well, in real life you won't get a bonus to your scouting ability or scouting range if you sit inside the armored car compared to standing in the field, no?
So there is no magic bonus for armored cars, gunner and other crewmen have historical sighting devices just like other units do (which usually means that only gunner or commander can see enemy at larger distance than infantryman, but in a narrow FOV). If armored car commander has higher scouting skill, it would help him too. In short, armored cars are better suited for scouting than, let's say, heavy tanks because they are faster on most terrain types and they are expendable. -
Even if you restart, the skills you soldiers had at the end of previous mission should be intact.
-
Does the game run now?
-
Replay) Why Stuarts? You should have a decent force, Shermans, and i'd take one or two Wolverines and assign best gunner(s) to them to pick off enemy tanks at long range.
-
Hmm, the patch installer said all is OK?
A long shot, but maybe files weren't updated because of classiс Vista write access rights problem. Try to run thу patcher again using run as administrator context menu command (right-click the .exe).

freeeman, what exactly would you like to know? I mean, knowing in detail what missions await you and what you'll face may spoil your fun. Since everybody here are interested in WWII history and Kursk battle in particular, you know what to expect playing on either side though:)
-
The game will be out really soon, don't worry.
-
AMD driver versions sometimes doesn't have full opengl support required by the ToW1. Users reported that the game works fine with Catalyst 9.2 with shadows disabled or even older Catalyst 8.6 with everything on (you have Catalyst 9.11). The options are either to install one of these older drivers or try newer ones and hope for the best, unfortunately.
-
Thanks, we'll check what's up.
-
Which sdkfz model and which gun?
-
Where the gun is located? Cars cannot go over trenches.
Do the gun have crew?
-
If the screenshots are not created in the game screensghots folder, chances are you have the usual problem with OS blocking the write access to the game folder.
-
There was an error in the demo (smoke button didn't work for infantry), this is fixed in the release version.
What do you mean by towing guns? The crew couldn't move some gun, you couldn't attach it to the vehicle, something else?
-
I don't know exactly how damage is modeled in MOW, but the most apparent difference between MOW and TOW is that the weapon ranges in MOW are scaled.
In ToW penetrations should occur in the same cases as in real life. If you have any questions about why the certain hit did or did not penetrate the armor, post the screeenshot showing the impact vector (with F4 mode turned on) and i'll try to explain.

SPGs can fire indirect, but the trajectory is really shallow for most of them because of shell velocity. Historically mobile artillery units fired indirect to much greater distances than possible on 2x2km game maps. Cool 'over a house' shots are possible only in games where the ranges are scaled or shell parameters are altered completely (COH, MOW, etc).
To use Hummel and Wespe in their indirect role in the game, you should select one, make sure that HE shell is loaded, click ground attack button and survey the battlefield trying to find the spot where mouse cursor is red. It's possible to fire even if LOS line is blocked, i.e. to fire indirect, but in the case of these SPGs shell trajectory is shallow and would go over only low obstacles (low hill, a house in the center between SPG and it's target).
-
There are two possible reasons for such weird camera behavior. Either you have a badly calibrated joystick or gamepad connected (disconnect them if any to see if there would be any difference). Another (more likely) reason is incompatibility with real-time clock of some AMD processors. If you have AMD processor, install the driver from their site (AFAIK this is needed for XP, users of Vista and 7 OSes didn't report that problem).
-
Another possibility is that AI simply didn't call the available support. For example, AI would call artillery strike only if his units see a group of your soft targets (infantry), it wouldn't call the artillery after seeing one enemy soldier.
-
It's unclear why the game bails out, some incompatibility with video drivers. What video card you have, drivers version? I assume your game is patched to version 1.10.0.81.

This happened in the demo German mission or one of the missions you have generated?
-
In general, the briefing tells your about situation in entire operational area around you, not just about the map of the next mission. Unfortunately, conventional signs on the tactical map are not supported for now, but the next task location will be shown on the mini-map.
Speaking of this particlular mission, Dubrovo is the village on your right flank, where enemy AA battery is located, and your final objective, Syrtsev, is on the left. North is on the top, as usual.
-
First try to load the save you've made and continue playing normally. If there is no save, chances are Windows didn't grant the game write access for the game folder, run the game using the 'run as administrator' context menu option each time to remedy this.
-
No, this is something new. Do you run the game executable using 'run as administrator' cotext menu option?
If the glitch occurs again, post the contents of log.lst file located in game folder here (do it after the glitch, since this file is being overwritten each time you run the game).
-
Most likely they are available if you select (or game selects if you leave it random) large army size (or maybe medium too).
-
I doubt it (minimal requirement is GeForce 5700 or Radeon 9600).
So there is no magic bonus for armored cars, gunner and other crewmen have historical sighting devices just like other units do (which usually means that only gunner or commander can see enemy at larger distance than infantryman, but in a narrow FOV).
