And the Tiger is back to the full set of rubber-tired roadwheels (it started like this but the TvT official patch changed these to the resilient steel-tired roadwheels with the outer row removed). The package seems to make some other changes, too it may be a different time of day in each mission is fooling me here but I get the impression that the very harsh lighting is softened, losing the too-dark shadows and warming up the colours.

And one of them is a new mission, which seems to replace the original first mission, when you install it (at least it did for me). This is because ZeeWolf's TvT project, though subscription-only, includes some freebies. Except that there will be two flavours - stock and ZeeWolf. So - this report deals with the first of the six German missions, because that was all I could get at, readily. It doesn't help that mission success in TvT seems tightly-defined in terms of things you must kill, down to the last tank.and I mean ' you must kill' because the AI may be little help. Unless you get the chop in one sense or another, life goes on, whether or not the powers-that-be deemed your last operation was a success. I don't know if this approach was a crude attempt to make the best of the twelve missions by forcing replays but I find this pretty hateful - and unrealistic, to boot. There may have been a cheat to unlock missions but if there was I can't find it now. Irrititatingly, it seems you have to 'unlock' the missions by winning them. As for my choice of mission, this was limited.to one mission in fact. I was tempted to try out the T-34 but for better comparison with both my early efforts with TvT and my recent forays with SF, I decided that I'd let the Tiger off his leash once more. This was a major disaster for the Wehrmacht and a great success for the Red Army, with large swathes of Soviet territory being liberated and much destruction being visited on Army Croup Centre. The timeframe is summer 1944, during Operation Bagration, the Soviet summer offensive for that year. The area is between Smolensk and Vitebsk in what is now Belarus, in the northern sector of Germany's Army Group Centre. Together, the missions form a campaign of sorts but they seem to be no more than a loosely-sequenced series of small operations in the same general area in the same timeframe. There are no training missions - it's all on-the-job-training, as it were. But the single-player option also had its issues. If you're single-player only like me you won't be too bothered that the sim's apparently promising multi-player capability never seemed to have been realised. Will a fresh crack at the sim after the passage of several years change my first impressions? Let's find out! Having fairly recently taken some time off combat flight sims to play Steel Fury and report the results, I thought I'd dust off T-34 vs Tiger and do likewise.

And if you like it enough to hanker for more, there's an ongoing payware mod by Zeewolf which adds vehicles and missions.
Still, 'TvT' has some really good features and in particular, is in most respects a very good simulation of operating the two featured tanks. But with sub-par AI, no interaction with other tanks or vehicles in your unit and a very limited set of heavily-scripted (and questionably realistic) missions, I soon realised why most players seemed to gravitate (sic) to Graviteam's 'Steel Fury', instead.

Strangely, this was released by the same publishers - Lighthouse Interactive - as Steel Fury my T34 - vs Tiger manual even has a 2-page, centre-fold spread advert for SF! As a fan of the Tiger tank in particular and something of a tanksim nut since discovering Panzer Commander, I was keen to try out the new sim. This time it's the turn of 'the other sim' - the aptly-named T-34 vs Tiger. One was Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942, which found most favour with players, continues to be modded and played, and has been featured in three recent mission reports here at CombatAce. The year 2008 was a promising one for tank simulation enthusiasts, with two new WW2 tank sims released around the same time. Back to the Russian Front with 'WWII Battle Tanks - T-34 vs Tiger'!
