Where do you guys get an Elephant tank??

[lufttiger]

Ok i'm new to this game and so far i love the older one so much more. When i play the Germans the best tank i can get is a panther, where's the Elephant? and what happend to all the Tiger and King Tiger tanks?
I only play this in single person, never multiplayer, and it won't save my campaign games either, i wonder why?
Is there only 3 generals?, this game could be so much more like the older one.

It's thanks to some commanders :P

There are more commanders that you can unlock through war spoils or just buy them, some of which have the tanks you mentioned (excluding the king tiger that is only available to OKW as buildable tank). War spoils are granted through playing games (I think only theater of war and multiplayer games apply but I could be wrong).

You can get Elephant and tiger from some commanders, Oberkommando can field king tiger. You get new commanders randomly after each games which happen rarely. You need an account and log in then it wont matter which mode you play, you will get random loots regardless.

Where do i go for this random loot, and how do i cash it in? I really appreciate you guys taking the time to help me, i did try and search for this but came up empty.

At the end of a game (multiplayer with bots or not), after th xp bar goes up (you have to play at least with bots, never actually played theatre of war so dont know about that) there will be little crates flying in on parachutes, if a crate lands on your name plate click it. YOU HAVE TO PLAY SOMETHING MP RELATED THOUGH. Sorry for caps just wanted to make sure I got that point across, as I am bad at doing that. Anywyas, after that, you will know what I mean when you see it, just make sure to stay until the very end, dont leave as soon as it says vicotry.

Campaighn is pretty accurated and very much with action to play with , multiplayer much more ! Don't know man you have to try it .

Ok thanks Lovefrog, but what is MP related mean? If its multi player i'm screwed out the gate!
I don't play that cuz i get called out and have to pause the game, that would piss off the other players, so i don't do it.
Could be this game is over priced for what i'm doing.....oh well, live & learn i guess.

grind a few achievements and you will get loot drops. don't think you can get loot from playing the campaign but you can by playing Theater of War and skirmishs against AI. loot drops depend on the amount of time you spend playing, so a long game is better than a bunch of short ones

campaign and single player in Ardennes is really just a story that teaches a lot of different aspects of the game, you can have sandbox games against AI which are more challenging and fun

It means it has to do with multpayer. You can do with other people, or if you click "online" and "custom game" you can play with bots, and if on your won I think can puase the game, you can levle up on that too, which I would recommend if you planned on playing v other people anyway. Also, leaving won't screw the team too bad, AI is a bit OP lol, howver, if you play v other people you wont get xp if you leave ahlf way through. ALSO... Getting Commanders on SP is pointless, as you are stuck with only a few on the campaigns anyway (and if you are playing the Ardennes Assualt DLC you only get the Rangers, arborne armor and infantry the entire time)
