Disfunctional tutorial

[kingcentipede]

Since I started the game all I have is total frustration
I’m an old school veteran of 2ww war games but just cannot figure this out.
Example in first tutorial you are supposed to mount the mg on the tripod
Does not explain how ..no keys nothing
I don’t get it
Be grateful if someone can help.
Also it seems the interface is so convoluted and over detailed how the heck am I suppose to fight a front line battle> and why is there no active pause.
I will not refund this game as I am an eastfront fanatic and hope the game will improve in time . Right now how do I get the mg on the tripod? My so,diet is already carrying it

Agreed. I'm new to RTS games with these types of elements, and the tutorial doesn't clear much up for me as it seems quite buggy. I can't tell the difference between what I'm doing wrong, and what's a bug.

I'll continue to try to learn the game as I'm interested in it, but the tutorial needs a bit more dev time, and clearer instructions.

For what it's worth I managed to get the MG mounted on the tripod by opening the tripod's inventory, and moving an MG in there, and then right clicking on it. That said it wouldn't recognize that I had done so to progress the tutorial.

I'm quite sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but I have no idea what that may be.

With your soldier selected put your cursor on the tripod.
Press X on keyboard. The eye icon will show.
Click the tripod. Your soldier's inventory and tripod inventory will connect or join.

Right click the mg. It will jump across to the tripod inventory.
Click X between the 2 inventories to close them.

With your soldier selected put your cursor on tripod - enter or mount the tripod.
Press i key on keyboard to get tripod inventory.
Right click the mg. It will mount on the tripod.
Shoot

There is pause for single player missions. It is the pause key on your keyboard.

I think the training would be fine if it wasn't so buggy.

thanks for the replies folks
also link for vid from Speedwolf but it seems silly we need to check vids from different games just to get a handle ..still most appreciated thank you i will watch it
also thank O()O for the advice and i will certainly try that
but it does sound so convoluted just to get your mg onto a tripod
i just wonder how you are supposed to pull this all off in the heat of a battle
and i know you can pause it but surely we need to give orders ie active pause
ummmmmmmmmm sounds reallly tricky
makes me want to go back to grav team tactics

That was just in the boot camp training mission.

Normally in this series of games MG's already come mounted on tripods in missions
as an mg team and they carry it around the map like that ; like a mortar team.

In the first German mission - The Big Prize - there are 2 mgs already
mounted on their tripods ready to use.

Hadn't played a "men of war type title" for a long time - and couldn't resist but to pick this up.

Sadly I have to agree it's one of the most painful and dysfunctional tutorials I've ever experienced and almost put me completely off going further into the game.

It could use some "dismissible" tool-tips rather than the VO/text that disappears quickly, although the main problem is how buggy it was.

I gave up with the tutorial when I spent 15 minutes trying to repair the tank without success, these kind of tutorial bugs and issues will easily cause "frustrated refunds".

Guys, we found some issues with the repair and MG tripod scripts in the tutorial and will fix for today's update

Hang tight.

I didn't have a hard time repairing vehicles with the original CTA. Why make it harder than it needs to be?

[yaglourt]

It's the same waste than the Men of War series : no active pause when you have a lot of microgestion and possibiliy a ton of units to control.
What a waste...

i cant ♥♥♥♥♥♥ figure out how to do it either or how to load them

i figured it out how hard is it to explain what to do and what keys to press in the tutorial its kind of silly i had to figure it out by myself

[The Guy]

ive looked in both soldiers inventory and the tripods and i dont see either

neverrrmind X worked

[JimmyJazz]

that part of tutorial still doesnt seem to work right. I mounted the mg - destroyed every target couple of times and it didn't count as completed.

[Dreadnaught1991]

This game seems very buggy, I've been playing the campaign and sometimes the objective bug on me and i can't complete them.
