Great Disappoitment
With the advent of DLC, I must say that I am disappointed. The models are great and detailed, that's true, but such complex models can no longer be assembled with the original lousy controls. It didn't matter with those simple tanks in the beginning, but now it's extremely uncomfortable. why does the camera still reset so strangely when tightening the screws? why can't I zoom in or out? why is the layering still not working properly? I have an empty engine bay and the first thing the game forces me to mount is the engine cover and everything else is then, against all logic, put blindly under the cover. how do I repair a gearbox if the game doesn't allow me to insert gears first and then the covers according to the logical procedure. Once the covers are fitted, the missing wheels can no longer be inserted because they simply do not show where. Transparency also works poorly. Gearboxes should be repaired in a separate rack or table, similar to an engine . I expected that long after the game launch, that all these mistakes will be fixed, but they are not. therefore, some repairs cannot be completed. For example you are missing two gears in the gearbox, , and you simply do not have how to insert them there, because the game will not allow you to do so. Too bad the authors weren't inspired by the game Plane Mechanic Simulator, where the controls are solved much better.

I can say for myself that I am already used to the somewhat strange control and parts assembly system. I have always managed to get the result in the logical sequence of parts as I would assemble the vehicle at home in the garage. Probably the biggest disappointment with DLC is the M18 Hellcat for me. The tank looks like it was made in a hurry or first. Few bolts, classic gearbox without internal parts, rear lights without texture, wheels on the right side are yellow on the inside, the engine cannot be assembled, parts that you only have to buy in other tanks can be repaired in Hellcat (seats, radio and more) , no cabling and so on. The whole tank seems very simplistic to me and it can't be compared to King Tiger or Churchill at all.

They tried to fix problems with assembling the Hellcat engine and made everything worse with that. It was working okay on most tanks before the last patch, now everything is messed up and I have problems on almost every tank, because I can´t mount or remove parts without making long journeys with the camera. They should return to the pre-patch state ASAP.

We agree to all points, we specificly tried to have the config of gearboxes and engine interiors so that everything won’t be ever concealed by a cover or any bigger element that makes the disassembly a horror experience - but we have a question here:

What would you suggest to look at when it comes to controls of camera/zoom as you specified? What can we take as a guide for improving the script? Is it only Plane Mech Sim?

Which engines and gearboxes (for which tank) were the most hard to do or even impossible?

Any other suggestion that would make the game overall a better experience?

Thanks
