Hi everyone,
I'd like to report a problem, evidently a long-standing one, so listen to my tale of woe.
As you may know, I'm currently on a sort of 'nostalgia trip' revisiting the stock campaigns as well as the ones included with SPM 1.5 Beta. Memory served me correctly and once again I experienced the wonders of the StuG III C/D campaign (the one with the short gun).
And also the disconcerting tendency of your aimed shots to fly off the edge of the gun scope! i.e. anywhere except where you put your aiming triangles!
By the way, I do know how to work the drum controls and I was pretty sure I had the range correct because all the targets were rumbling about nearby - in the confines of a small village! I had to adapt quickly - point the bottom edge of the circle at the target when the gun is lowered, and point the upper edge when the gun is raised.
And despite everything I emerged triumphant!
But something just didn't smell right and I popped out to the exterior view to see what was going on. Imagine my horror when I realised, the periscope thingy was tilting up and down in sync with the main gun! And the gun sight, which is
supposed to have separate controls, was tilting up and down with it!
Hey thats not supposed to happen, heh-heh-heh. Wasn't this thing... 'tested'?
This story does have a happy conclusion, however, because I figured out how to fix it. If anyone is still interested, I can post more details later,
