I have been looking forward to the AP:OS English release since the Russian version first came out over a year ago. I was very surprised at the apparent lack of publicity/advertising associated with the eventual release of the English version. I only found out about the release of the English version by accident. I hope this is not a reflection on how much Graviteam care about this game. My biggest concern at this stage is whether Graviteam really care about this game and plan to support the players and the game, because I do know they are already working on another project. I had noticed a year or so ago when the first Achtung Panzer was released, it seemed that all of a sudden Graviteam seemed to stopped posting on the forums and seemed to leave their players in the dark.
Sorry, but we very small company and at all short of hands. But a shortage of funds for advertising.
First of all the lack of any kind of a manual for the game is very concerning, and adds to my concerns about whether Graviteam really care about and intend to support the English version of this game. The hardest part of the game to understand without a manual would be the Operation screens/tables.
Yes, english manual is a problem. We can not translate it.
But built-in training mode covers the major points of the game.
For example I just played a battle where I thought I had lost quite a few units and decided to "Flee" the battlefield. However the battle summary screen rold me I had a "minor victory"!!??
Win or defeat is calculated taking into account:
- the initial balance of forces;
- casualties;
- captured territory.
For example, if you defending by small forces (smaller then the enemy forces), then the calculation of victory / defeat you will have the advantage.
I also want to know is it possible to replace the silhouette markers on the strategic map with the standard unit symbols used in AP:K43?
No, only by modtools and repaint texture with symbols.
I really do hope Graviteam plan to support this game and it's players.
Yes
I hope the patch and micro-addons will come in the near future.
