Refresh rate, payout too high, stuff behind stuff, Bren Carrier
Hi folks! Roughly 20 hour noob here, with some saved up questions that I can't find answers to or figure out. (I did search!)

1) Refresh rate changes don't seem to save (stuck on unlimited) and my gaming computer feels like a heater when running this game (more than others with some pretty intense graphics).

2) (Edit: this is intermittent. Is it a bonus for finishing quickly or something?) I started the normal game but my payout is 3x what the contract states, which is okay but feels like cheating. For example, 15rep and $15k nets me like 45 and $45k. With only like two large rebuilds and half a dozen small, and I have tons of cash and most perks maxed. I don't see where this is a setting? (Edit) I did start another mechanic (under my username instead of "Tank Mechanic", and the payout was correct. I'd rather not pretend that all the tanks I did didn't exist (and don't know if that would fix it). So not I don't really know what to do, and I don't want to do all those same intro missions again...

3) one thing driving me nuts is stuff behind stuff... "lemmie add this V belt.... engine cover, engine cover, engine cover..." sometimes (usually) invisibility mode doesn't help. I really wish I could SELECT the part in storage and install it, when it's acting goofy, but that's not an option that I see. Just Storage-select-"Install"-and the already in the game silhouette appears (red if unable) and you simply right hold to install. Seems so obvious but... am I missing something...?

4) I did a major restore on a (Canadian) Bren Carrier 20 years ago and would love to do one in here.

Thanks in advance! (Wolfgang)

1. This is a global issue as our approach to optimization knowledge back when we were creating this game was very low. Now when we work on our new title we have a better idea what to do to lower GPU usage but right now we dont have time to get back to TMS
2. It is a bonus if your work is more than contract started with, so if you add more parts that the tank had originally then you get bigger payment
3. This is possible in Tank Overview menu, where you have every part stated and when you click any of the part the analysis will close and the part will be selected
4. Only when we add the bren carrier as soviet lend lease vehicle in our second project and port it back here :)

Yay, a dev comment! Always feels cool!

1-3 Thanks for explaining. Can't wait to try out #3.
4 I'd love to redo the one I did exactly. Found it behind a used car dealership. The upper armor was cut off, so I had to replace / rebuild all of that (bathtub with tracks). There was concrete poured into the back, on the sides of the engine! Missing tensioners, idlers, and road wheels. Most of the rest was present but in bad shape. When you do the port over, any chance I can get you to replicate it? :)
