Will the Zis-30 fix get into this update? It would be nice to have more anti-armour capability in 41!


Not in this update. I got fixed device file from Jim, so it should be in one of coming patches. It won't get into ongoing games though.

Don't put much hopes on ZiS-30 - it is not a wunderwaffe.. especially in homeopathic quantities it comes :)


Drat, but thanks for the efforts to put out the patches in the holiday season regardless.

Certainly it is...my troops are failing to stop the oncoming Panzer hordes due to the lack of this one particular weapon! There is enough produced each week to make 3 Bn of them.

At the moment I'm fairly convinced that the Panzers come with some sort of magic force field bubble that stops them from getting killed since I trade at about 1:100 in combat if I am lucky. My feeling is that they loose more tanks moving to the combat then in it.

Anyhow, even after years of reading about the war in Russia some of the tank types are new to me. So far as I can see for obvious reasons since they die, die, die. The T40, and T50 are tanks I had never heard of before, I had always wondered why they skipped from T34 to T60 and now I know...they didn't, the T50 actually looks sort of ok-ish but I guess having the factory convert to T34-M1942 and then start to build is better in the long run then a lot of T50 tanks followed by a lower production of T34s. Anyway the Zis-30 looks to be no worse then the famed Panzerjäger I!

On a more serious note, does this mess up any production chains? As the factories, according to redmarkus, don't make anything even in 1942.

Status: offline 		This is a general question regarding patches in general for WitE: will a restart of a game ever be needed to get all benefits from a patch? This was sometimes needed with WitP:AE and I am just wondering if there will ever be a time where it a campaign restart will be needed with this game due to a patch.

Thanks

Chad

No patch will give you your airplanes back, it will just change the way they are handled by the game engine going forward. Whether that's justification for a restart is each player's judgment call.

Status: offline 		If you like the 1.02 beta patch, I suggest you use it for multiplayer as well (just get your opponents to upgrade). I'm guessing we will put out another beta patch next week. I don't know when or what Erik has planned regarding making anything "official".

Status: offline 		This patch seems to be a step backward from a mouse perspective--one of the previous patches fixed my mouse problems, but this one seems to restore the problems (delays in selecting units, etc.). For instance, a lot of times when I am trying to attack a unit or move to a hex, my unit will be deselected and the other unit (defending unit, destination hex) is selected instead. Also, I often have to click on a unit multiple time in the right colum to deselect it.

While this might sound like a minor issue, it is starting to turn me off the game given the vast number of units in larger scenarios--the constant delays with selecting units and other problems is a huge pain.

Also, the in-game update does not work for me (I realize it wont work with the beta patches, but it also did not work with the official patch)--I just get a rather vague message saying that there has been a problem and I should contact Matrix.
