There are some issues vs armor map of Panther M-10, but I think it'll not effect noticeably a gameplay.

Thanks Lockie
 Just DL'd it and plugged it in. Plays great, everything works so far as advertized. I play at a balance of 7 so I sort of got creamed pretty quickly by all the at guns on the initial assault but there's always next time.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!

Good work! But...Who is the fake M-10 match?  T-34?

I'd highly recommend to play at the balance "5" And don't try to attack directly in front. Try to find a manoeuvre. It's a kind of commando mission

M-10 it's a Panther G.

The Ersatz-M10 is one of the strangest and  most infamous variants of the Panther. Actually, it is not a Panther variation, but a "disguise" of the normal Panther Ausf. G.

BTW
If u want to see an alternative ending, then give a chance enemy(at least 1 soldier) to reach Point #1.

And don't try to attack directly in font. Try to find a manoeuvre. It's a kind of commando mission

 That's exactly what I did, I just followed the AI script to see if the mission worked.

Ersatz Panther is quite popular
