1.2.0 can't complete a excavation?
Just loaded up an existing save into 1.2.0 and I can no longer excavate tanks? I can begin the mission, locate the tank and all, but when I pay fro the excavation no pumps or pressure washer appear. When I attempt to pay for a wash I get the "tank must be dug out" message, meaning I can't load the tank onto the trailer either. Is anybody else having similar problems?

I had that happen as well. Found a PZ MK IV with part of its turret above ground before I even started digging. Ordered a dig and got the "Found Something!" message but when I went to the dig site the tank was floating in mid-air and none of the safety tape or pressure washer had appeared.

Couldn't load it on the trailer because it was not clean, and couldn't wash it because there was no washer. When I tried to pay for a wash all it said was "The tank has not been fully dug out order another dig." The tank was floating in mid-air.

I thought maybe with the new battle damage system a part had been blown off and was still buried. Ordered 6 more digs and then swept the area around the tank with the metal detector. Got nothing and finally gave up.

Just take contracts for now, if you need to play it. It seems to be a common bug.

Yeah looks what I'll be doing, save up enough to buy all the blueprints in the meantime I suppose. It's a shame that something as common as this was passed through testing which reportedly has been happening for the last week and so.

I think they lack testers at times to check for these bugs

I could excavate fine though if this issue pops up for me I'll let ya'll know.

Same problem with trying to wash the tank for me too. A PzKpfw III Aust. M in a much deeper hole than normal and I did notice the hatch slightly out of the ground before ordering the dig too.

Same problem. But I've found solution -
I went back to workshop then returned to the excavation and after that the tank was ready.

Had the same problem myself. I kept paying for a dig also to see if that helped, the hole got deeper and deeper and the tank just sat there suspended in air, but no water, no pump, no barricades nothing.

Same for me! Unable to extract a tank!

And the old Bug with the Map on the Magnetometer partly outside the visibly Area is still there, that is a bit disappointing.

I give the order again on the tablet pc to dig up the tank, after that it always worked for me.

I too have the same issue.

I have given the Order 4 times on the tablet and it doesn't work, a picture from this i have posted in the Artwork Section under "flying Tank", at this State the game is near impossible to play, Bugs after bugs.

Too bad, I just dug up two tanks this way, otherwise I don't actually have any bugs, at least not yet.
