Title: Just bought this today.. Tutorial doesn't seem to work? Post by: sherlockboneman on December 21, 2014, 04:07:47 AM Hi tankers,
I got the game working (FYI works on my Win 7 x64, GeForce GTX 770- had to lower the resolution a bit to get it work). Now I went through the first tutorial, but after I hit "quit" at the end, it doesn't advance me- "continue game" just starts the driving tutorial again. So I selected the second tutorial (the gunnery one) and have exhausted all my sub-caliber rounds on that tank but it never recognizes it? I read here a bit and it seems I should install the "Steel Panzer 2.0 Mod", but the links are all broken. I bought it off Amazon as a digital download and already installed the unofficial patch. What should I try next? Title: Re: Just bought this today.. Tutorial doesn't seem to work? Post by: Kyth on December 21, 2014, 05:57:45 AM Did you manage to finish the driving circuit? It's a worthy challenge in the Matilda.
In the second tutorial, it's enough to score a hit on each of the target tanks. There are 4 of them, one stationary, and the other 3 bounding around like rabbits. Good luck! By the way I'm sure there'll be others telling you to give up, but don't do that, that wouldn't be the proper spirit. Title: Re: Just bought this today.. Tutorial doesn't seem to work?

Yes, I did the driving circuit. Found it nearly impossible the first time, and then I realized you need to let the water cool or else the tank loses power. Although the cockpit gauges don't reflect that? I just noticed the water temp in the lower left of the screen was red. Ok, I'll try shooting them once each time. Do you know where I can get some mods though, it sounds like there is some neat stuff. Title: Re: Just bought this today.. Tutorial doesn't seem to work?

Post by: Kyth on December 22, 2014, 01:17:22 PM I'd recommend SPM 2.0: http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=11026.msg29416#msg29416 (http://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=11026.msg29416#msg29416) Title: Re: Just bought this today..

Post by: Kyth on December 24, 2014, 12:02:27 PM By the way, in case anyone needs convincing about the viability of the gunnery tutorial, here's a video I made some time ago: http://youtu.be/2BLq7GNrIn4 (http://youtu.be/2BLq7GNrIn4) A journey down memory lane, 'lovingly' retold. ;D Title: Re: Just bought this today.. Tutorial doesn't seem to work? Post by: sherlockboneman on December 25, 2014, 04:21:20 AM I passed the gunnery tutorial with the SPM 2.0 mod!
The commanding tutorial is a whole 'nother kind of wtf. If I press F5 and switch to the hull gunner- it seems I can't get back to the commander's position. Is that right? I guess the "continue game" button just starts the last mission you selected- it doesn't advance them automatically. Title: Re: Just bought this today.. Tutorial doesn't seem to work? Post by: Kyth on December 25, 2014, 02:30:55 PM If you're using the T-34, press 'F2' to get to the commander / gunner position. The tutorial text is actually intended for the Matilda tank.

Post by: frinik on December 26, 2014, 05:45:26 AM The steel panzer mod suggested by kyth is excellent, stable and i still use it myself. But it's 2 years old and if you want to have the many,many new additions both tank models and missions then i would recommend that you do a second install of the game with the sta 1.0 mod as provided by tanker .
