A few things here to the video creator.

The video you refer to isn't showing for me.

I think this is the issue :

note the embed instructions from the users guide sub-forum


See where it's telling you to pull the link from?
Notice that it's not the URL from the address bar?

compare these two URLs:

followed YT embed instructions
https://youtu.be/ScuwBnXgCv8    <----- embed works fine, no SWF download

didn't follow YT embed instructions, grabbed link from address bar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScuwBnXgCv8   <----- embed doesn't work, triggers SWF download b/c YouTube parser won't display it

Why don't you just try it and refund it if you don't like it? There is no point in agonizing over the decision.

acctingman,
i have read over at Steam in the forum that because its pre-order and beta the time we spend with the beta is not counting for the refund timer. 

so it looks like we all can playtest the beta until release and still are able to get a refund.

- legal advise: this was only a statement by a player at Steam,
  so i recommend to check the smallprint of Steam refund policy on this particular gamer first before the buy-transaction

thx but I did do this. It was showing earlier. I have done it again.

Now it is showing.  Before I just saw a blank space.

About the video : it is probably a sign of the times that lack of knowledge isn't stopping anyone from having an opinion.

Quote : "don't pay attention to rate of fire, it is all dumbed down, although some of this might be based on history"  (because most tanks have similar rof)

[JudgeDredd]

Having watched the first video (and not read all the thread - sorry) - is there artistic licence being implemented here? I noticed, for example, M4A3(105) which didn't have AP firepower and I also noticed that HE was being used rather oddly in places.

I can't recall the proper phrase for doing such things, but is it being done like this for gameplay?

[Destraex]

They do take license for balance issues with arbitrary things like ranges. But not usually shell types and things that are more or less hard provable data.
So this may be a bug if you are noticing incorrect load outs. It is BETA after all.

Well, seems the M4A3 (105) was a howitzer which probably explains it's lack of HE

AP you mean.

[JudgeDredd]

Yes

Was gonna say?

Bought it yesterday; spent most of yesterday afternoon and night downloading and then it got caught in a loading loop of some kind while finalizing its test for my gfx card. (Note to self: need new gfx card.)

Man, the early-paradox-icality is strong with this one.  :hide:

Still, made a Luftlander battlegroup, started a 1v1 game against the AI, and then saved and quit for the night. (Too many allergies, had to go back to bed early.)

I may try my best again to beat RUSE while I'm waiting for the devs to iron out the beta. Ironically, I have never been able to get past holding the Normandy beachhead there, so I'm not sure I deserve to play this game!  L:-)

Sorry, dude. This one may be all on you. Experience has been mostly bug free for me and most everyone I have talked to about the game.

Both me and a friend had this happen. After force exiting and getting back in (and not running the configuration) its run smooth for me even with almost everything turned up to max.

I had similar issues with Red Dragon.  The auto configuration would start and never shutdown.
