True... as a squad or individual...your choice... but hard to show in the below video due to framerates while recording and being so far away. Per a PM request a short video of gameplay... understand that this video is not a true representation of the gameplay due to a framerate of about 5 while recording, so hard to give orders and move around under those conditions. But here is part of the 2nd mission of the North Korean campaign...capturing an airfield: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCx_8bIiE6s&hd=1

My quick two cents on Korea... The series gets better and better each time... Alot has been fixed and/or improved, while a couple of problems still exist, but nothing major. The maps, IMO, are absolutely beutiful... and the battles more intense with incredible artillery support and air support. I'm in the process of playing and reviewing it right now for SimHQ... but I put up some screens from the tutorial just to get readers blood going: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3228648/ToW3_Korea_Tutorial_Mission.html#Post3228648

Yep, same problem.... goes into saving, then just locks up there.

Then answer with your wallets, as hard as it will be not too, don't buy Korea. (and I'm talking to myself here too, lol). I'm the same as many others here... buy every single game and module Battlefront releases, then being disappointed. Disappointed because I see the great potential of their products, but then they leave them in buggy states, to work on an add-on or module. Five plus years ago I declared Battlefront the best developer/publisher, (remember when they released that CMBB strategy guide with all those errors and they replaced them for FREE!), unfortunately they have become one of the worst IMO within the last 2 or 3 years. Battlefront! Stop what your doing, and fix all your current recently released games! Then I'll continue to buy from you. Fix... all of the CMSF games/modules, Fix all of the ToW games, and get the developers of PT Boats to fix their crap. JMO

One of the missions require you to light up ships in a convoy with your search light for 5 secs each... i know how to turn on the light and i spot the enemy with it, but the AI control will not keep the light on target for 5 secs... is there a way I'm suppose to take over the light use and keep the target lite? thx.

You the man...thx...finally.

Martin, I sent you a message via the eLicense contact form, but not sure it is working yet because it told me to make sure It's filled out right and exited... so did you get it? Thx. (sorry, only way to contact you right now.)

Can't believe I fell for it myself... Saw it, looked legit, thought it a cool idea finally, downloaded it but waited on install. Installed it and total system take over, over 100 viruses, disabled my virus protection, firewall, and all... I couldn't get the system back under control... so shut it down and reformatted completely. (Lucky for me all my pics, music, documents...that I'm done with get backed up to an external HD, that is only connected for the back up... so all I lost was my game installs, and my completed with screens and video Kursk 43 review, lol.) Lesson learned, but now when I want those eLienses back battlefront, you'll know why.

Just sharing my highlight video for the review I'm doing... unfortunately due to the massive memory leak I can only play small battles right now... hoping they admit and fix it soon.

agreed, there is definitely a big memory leak in this game.

I also lowered the setting to medium then low, both times resources bled out causing single digit frames... the campaign missions are too big to play...I have to stick with small quick missions...sad.

I was going to post new, but I'll stick it in this thread since it's related... Anyone notice a major decrease in perform as as the mission goes? I have a pretty powerful machine, I got the settings on HIGH... the first mission of the Russian campaign starts out with about 30 FPS... by the end of the mission I'm under 5 FPS... just strange, like a resource leak or something... anyone else? BTW screens: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2973347/ToW2_Kursk_43_released_tutoria.html#Post2973347

I've all but given up on this game. A potential for a great game IMO, but too hard and time consuming... so I was wondering if anyone had the save game file that unlocks all the missions, so I can just pick which ones I want to play or have time for. Ya, I know it's a cheap way of playing... but like I said, I got tired of playing and failing the same few missions over and over... let me know.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the 3 CM classics will run on a netbook? I know widescreen support is absent, but still, maybe a blocked screen. Since it's W7 and not Vista, would I have to get the Vista patches still? Thx, Netbook on order, just wondering.

yes thx. how is yes thx to short of a reply...thats redicoulous, lol.

theirs a difference between having to think and having to quess... BTW, I moved past this mission long ago... it just kinda sucks to have to play each and every mission 10 times plus till you "guess" what your suppose to do... IE: sneak up on the convoy then identify them, 750 yards away and your too far, less then 700 and your dead... so I had to play and re-play till i found the secret distance for success. Thx for the info.

the Q. has anyone with the game seen a game server listed in the MP screen... or is it the same as the three I played with "no servers found". ? Thx.

I had a couple of players show up for my planned MP event, but not one of us (3 of us) have ever seen a MP server and none of us could host a game, even after taking down all firewalls and opening up all ports... has anyone ever played MP in this game? Thx.

If you can't make it, I work nights so off in the day... look me up for some smaller MP then. thx.

I'm reviewing the game for SimHQ... got alot of time in the SP campaign but haven't found one MP server yet... so if you got the game, free Wednesday night around 8 PM Eastern, and can utilize teamspeak... I invite you to join me on SimHQ's teamspeak server (info in link), then once on teamspeak we'll give out the server info. I'd like to get a full server to truly test the MP gameplay and capabilities... Thx. http://www.simhq.com/_multiplayer/multiplayer.html BTW, only waiting for 30 mins, if no one shows I'll move on... time is money, or in my case gameplay time. lol

With past Battlefront games your eLicense allowed you to install and run the game on two PC's... I do this for my at home desktop, and my away laptop, but does PT Boats only allow one PC? or two like the others? thx.

OK... thx... so I finally got through the first mission on try number 8... now I'm with the 2nd mission, I engage and destroy all the enemy boats, now I have to rescue the crew of the sub... but HOW! It tells you no where, what to do, do I launch boats or what? This game is great but the limited missions and the mission briefs and objectives are ridiculously unclear... Probally user error more then the game, lol http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx323/Magnum9846/PT-Boats2009-12-2712-33-51-16.png http://i768.photobucket.com/albums/xx323/Magnum9846/PT-Boats2009-12-2712-34-06-16.png

Is it just me or is PT Boats ridiculously hard? I'm playing on normal difficulty, did all three tutorial missions, understand the concept of the game and purpose, but hell... the first mission is killing me, ON BOTH SIDES... When I play the Germans, I spend almost an hour protecting the convoy, and going out to meet the targets, but then the mission ends with a failure due to the convoy being spotted... So then I play as the English, I understand moving slow, spotting the convoy, identifying the vehicles, but then 5 tries and the German PT boats come after me, I sink one but the other gets me... and whats sucks... is that, thats all you can do... you can't do any other missions besides the tutorials again or multiplayer... so if you can't get past a mission, your dead in the water. Is this game too hard, or is it me?

OK, thx... BTW they worked in MP...pretty cool... bunch of screens posted at SimHQ, I've just been asked to do the review (for SimHQ)...so reading, studying, and playing now.

I have attempted the tutorial mission 5 times now, each time when I get to the point where the enemy supply ship is identified, I'm told I can commence the attack... but then I can't fire any torpedos... using the space bar... I can drop charges, use the other guns, but no torpedoes... Is their something I'm mission, like a min or max distance, "locking up", or turning off the safety, lol? thx.
