Some questions about SABOW

[chaudard]

Hi,


Very good game, thanks I have some questions:
.
Can we have more maps? Can you add the maps of Achtung Panzer in SABOW?

Can we shoot the smoke amunitions of the m60 tank?

Maps are a no-go from what I understand. Flashburn made a tutorial on Gunnery for the M60a1 at SimHQ.

I wish there where more and varied maps.  Bringing in APOS to sabow maps...........I bet it is possible but no one that I know of has tried.
Smoke rounds for the m68 gun?  they are part of your basic load out...so yes you can shoot them.  CNL click the interface on ammo types....Under that is an icon for smoke and one for canister rounds.

what do you use them for, anyway? I have a hard time finding uses for them

[Flashburn]

Canister............hmmm human wave attack?   LOL.  No real idea.  I guess anything you need a REAL BIG shotgun for.    Smoke.......conceilment for yourself or your buddies.  Ya, I rarly use this either.  Fun to shoot at apc's for giggles.

hehe I bet It's too bad you can't make a custom loadout for your tank. I honestly don't see a use for SABOT rounds in an M60, or smoke rounds for that matter. Neither one really works against tanks :/

Well if other Army's are like the US Army you have a set of approved load outs that you have to follow.  Obviously sometimes things like that need to get bent, but not broken.  If you end up NOT having what the book says your suppose to have (without a vary good reason) and you end up needing it; well your arse is hanging in the wind.  But that is real world.

The official developers can confirm this?

Thanks, I hadn't understood. CNL click, ok, I will try

Against a gun or entrenched enemy, to protect us while approaching or getting around him!

i think it's possible. they share the same engine, no? the jungles and deserts no match for versatile european setting.

Yes it's possible but... only for devs 
Districts for SABOW and APOS has a little bit different formats.

[chaudard]

Can you make a patch to fix that? In the future, can we have more maps? I would like cities map, mountains map, european map...

Thanks

We don't have a rights for SABOW. And probably not replace formats in it.
That is, the future is more likely option is APOS: Tank edition (like DLC or standalone ADDON) in WWII setting (may be and not WWII).

I have antoher questions, on the last update (aug12).

Is it possible to disable the compass and reactivate the old mini-map?

Is it possible to see the big map when we are on the gunner view, without to go to the commander seat? (Like with the previous updates.)

Sometimes the commander didn't tell me the range with the target when I play the t-62.

M60 sabot rounds don't penetrate T-62 or T-55?

[andrey12345]

No, mini-map is very arcade thing for simulator.

Yes, dont set realism level to high, or skip block in options manually.

Sometimes the commander didn't tell me the range with the target when I play the t-62.

Yes if it dont see the target due to smoke/dust or weather conditions etc

If you don't shot from 1.5+ km to frontal projection its penetrating well.

Ok, thanks for the replies Andrey

So you have to be within 1.5 km? Are you sure? I've bounced rounds off the side of a T-62 at 600 yards. If I'm lucky, I can knock it out with a HEAT round to the turret

As would be expected.
