Panzer
Commander 1.3 "Full Patch" Requirements
You may install the Panzer
Commander 1.3 "Full Patch" over any older version of Panzer
Commander. To see what version of the game you have, launch the game,
and look at the version number in the lower left of the
"Loading" screen. If it already says version 1.3, you do not
need to download and install the patch.
How to install the Panzer Commander 1.3 Patch:
After downloading the 1.3 patch, double click on it. A pop up panel will
appear. Note that the default directory shown on the pop up panel (under
the heading "Unzip To Folder:") is C:\Panzer Commander. If you
have installed Panzer Commander to another area, simply type the correct
path over C:\Panzer Commander. As an example, if you have Panzer
Commander installed in C:\Program Files\SSI\Panzer Commander, you must
type this in, paying careful attention to spacing, etc. Once you have
made sure that you have the right "Unzip To Folder" listed,
simply click on the "Unzip" button in the upper right hand
corner of the panel and wait until a small pop up panel saying "777
file(s) unzipped successfully" appears, then click on the
"OK" button, and close the larger panel. When you launch
Panzer Commander, you should see V1.3 printed in the lower left corner
of the "Loading...." screen.

Commander 1.3 FAQ
Written 6-7-99, Revised 3-16-00
Q: What version of Panzer Commander must I have to successfully install
the Full 1.3 patch?
Unlike previous patches, the "Full" 1.3 patch will
successfully update any version of Panzer Commander to version 1.3. To
see what version of the game you have, launch the game, and look at the
version number in the lower left of the "Loading" screen.
Q: Why do I see Soviet Cinematics when I play the "Desert
Rats" or "The Ardennes" mini-campaign?
When the 1.3 patch was created, Panzer Commander was already a year old.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to make two brand new sets of
cinematics (one British, and one American) for an "old" game.
Q: Why is there no accompanying voiceover for the "Desert
Rats" or "The Ardennes" mini-campaign narratives?
Both resource and time constraints prevented us from implementing the
voiceovers.
Q: What realism setting defaults were used to balance the new and
redesigned campaigns?
Modified "Ace" settings; click on the 3 star "Ace"
button, then select "Allow External View" and
"Intelligence Map On." If you use these settings, your realism
score will be 95%.
Q: What level of detail setting defaults were used during playtest?
We tried to use an assortment of settings, to reflect the differing
systems owned by users. Level of detail settings should be tailored to
your systems capabilities. Remember that changing the "Range Of
Visibility" will have a profound affect on play balance, but is a
very good way to alter the "feel" of any scenario.
Q: I like the new "Company" level in the campaign scenarios,
but with a minimum of three platoons, plus supporting vehicles, not to
mention the enemy vehicle count, performance is an issue on my system.
Is there anything I can do?
Short of buying a new system, or a new 3D card, try reducing the viewing
window size, and eliminate non-essentials like tread tracks, etc.
Q: Will the one campaign that has not been redesigned ever get done?
The 8th Guards Campaign was initially scheduled to be reworked to
accomodate Panzer Commander's AI improvements along with all of the
other campaigns. However, time constraints prevented this from
happening. In its current state, the 8th Guards Campaign is extremely
difficult, and best suited for gifted or masochistic players.
Q: What is the maximum number of vehicles I can have in a scenario?
If your system can handle it, you can have nine platoons of 4 vehicles
each of Tanks, AFV and Trucks. That equals 36 Tanks, 36 AFV, and 36
Trucks.
Q: What is the maximum number of Antitank Guns I can have in a scenario?
32 total.
Q: What is the maximum number of Emplacements I can have in a scenario?
32 total. That's MG's, Rockets, and Antitank Rifles combined.
Q: Is there a list of the vehicles in Panzer Commander that is more
detailed and up to date than the Manual?
FK.EXE (a self extracting file) contains a set of spreadsheets that
covers in detail all the Armored Fighting Vehicles in Panzer Commander.
Q: Are there any Tanks that are able to turn in place using the left and
right arrow keys?
Panther Models D, A and G, M26 Pershing, Tiger and Tiger II. They all
had special gear that enabled them to.
