M1 Tank Platoon 2 intro

M1 Tank platoon 2 intro

[@timprivate1792]

This was so great to see. I loved this game, I actually used it to learn fire commands when I was a platoon leader.

[@mastafrieza]

[@kanelupis]

I never knew this vid existed on YT. I have the original CD this demo was on. I played vid this so many times in my youth. Thanks my man

To fix any color issues in Win 7, right click on desktop, click screen resolution and run the game while the resolution window is open. Enjoy ;)

[@amsamlavi5112]

Oh my God thank you

[@OpenGL4ever]

Instead of playing that game in Direct3d mode it is much better to use a Glide Wrapper like nGlide and play it in Glide mode. Glide did work much better than Direct3d when this game was released. And if you set up an old machine, than take a Voodoo card.

STILL AN AWESOME GAME!

[@sunflash2140]

man i can remember playing this, long time ago, im trying to download again,very cool game

[@CrzayMazy]

I played this game a lot back in my childhood, but it was too complicated back then. Maybe I'll give it another try to re-live my memories.

[@DeadpulRam]

This is such a good simulator game I have this at my house and I play it all the time

[@NitrogenPurged]

used to own this wicked as game. god if they onlt made another one like it id buy that shit in a heart beat

[@basslinedan]

We're not going anywhere!! :D Wish this game played on my PC, might have to dig out an old tower.

[@decimated550]

@Riderofcomedy - I've had this game 3 times in my life. I'd get it, play the fuck out of it, and after a few months, i'd destroy the disk after realizing it was messing up my real life. One time I put the disk in the microwave. I've got another game (Combat Mission) which gets my tank crack smoking.

The gunner must announce "on the way" before pulling the trigger. FM 17-12-8 Chapter 5: "Fire Commands"

[@raymondyee2008]

It was fun especially in the campaigns but after six hours ran into very heavy and frustrating resistance.

[@CorsetLebelle]

there both pretty even the t 72s have there strong points and used properly are good but the m1s also have good points and hwne used well rock with there socks on

[@Hairysteed]

@basslinedan Then why shout "On the way" at all? The commander can surely HEAR the gun going off. No. The gunner says "On the way" right when he's starting the engagement procedure (tracking, lasing). Its purpose is to prepare the crew for the gun going off. It's to let the driver know not to make any sudden movements and the loader to stay away from the breech.

LOAD SABOT ! SABOT UP !

[@TacError]

@jboweruk Heh, now that another developer is making an M60/T-62 sim, I can finally rejoice.

[@basslinedan]

I'm sure in practice it's more practical to engage the threat first and shout "on the way" ASAP. Just an observation.

[@CorsetLebelle]

anyone got the intro to the first one tho ?

[@Hairysteed]

Why is the gunner saying "on the way" after he has already fired the gun?

[@festafa]

im playing this game on my Samsung R510 laptop:D only a few colors dont match graphic card is probly to good:P but i love to play it only forgot how to play in diffrent m1 abrams:S

[@testofeagle]

hey wats the other intro to it with the rock music

[@RobN2097]

it means that the round is on to the way to its target, so the tank commander is supposed to track its flight & figure out where the bullet may hit. for usually there are 3 possibilities for the bullet to hit: in the "target", "over" or "to short".

[@Hairysteed]

It's /supposed/ to be a simulation of the real thing

[@Nate_doggy_dawg]

Battle of 73 Easting.

[@TacError]

Too bad the only modern tank sim right now is Steel Beasts Pro....still waiting for an M1TP3...

[@Nate_doggy_dawg]

From what I remember a decade ago, microprose was trying to make an integrated combat simulation game where a future m1tp 3 would integrate with their gunship helicopter sim and their A-10 warthog sim. Apparently gunship was a commercial bust and the whole project was scrapped. It would have been really incredible if they had succeeded.

[@Nate_doggy_dawg]

Did I say a decade. I meant 2 decades. Getting old.

[@willc1294]

This is what gives the pipsqueak putin nightmares each night

[@festafa]

i downloaded it and playing it now:D but the colors are not good like in the old days.. the sky is purple and yellow but the game still owns!:D

[@RobN2097]

mmh yeah, right..it's just a game^^

[@mixedupjim1]

This was amazing, especially the original. I've started to re-create both games in Arma 3 - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=598511676&searchtext=tank+platoon
