Re: Panzer Corps 2 released today for Xbox Game Pass PC.

Just following up on this gamepass release and it's achievements. My gamepass version is 1.2.6 and it only includes the Wehrmacht campaign (none of the DLC like Spanish civ war or axis operations). However, the base game achievements includes those for these DLC. Currently I cannot 100% complete the...

Re: Tank specialist achievement

Ok I just popped the achievement on Fall Rot, indeed it needed 2 kills for each tank. I had to keep a little chart keeping track. Lot of fun micro managing the tanks, softening up with non-core and then farming kills. Did it on turn 8.

I'll add a guide on www.trueachievements.com

Cheers all

Re: Tank specialist achievement

Apologies for bumping this topic - I'm currently trying to get the Tank Specialist achievement on Xbox console. As per previous OP I have 8 tanks in my core list all with at least 2 kills, but no achievement. Is it the case that we actually need to have the eight tanks get 2 kills in a single scenar...

Re: experience gain mechanics

I should check out the Hummel. My german 18cm is at 4 stars now after 5 scenarios into Panzerkrieg (it got to 4 stars in Blitzkrieg, before taking the xp hit during import). The Hummel looks great, maybe I should've skipped panzerkrieg and gone from Blitz' to Endskrieg for the later units of 1943. A...

Re: Any plans to fix console bugs on Xbox/PS?

I thought the swap adjacent units was also not on xbox, I've never managed to do it. I'll check the guide out again but I've never seen the option to do it. Apart from that, the xbox load times are insane, and the game will crash two to three times per scenario after playing for 45mins or so. I real...

Re: experience gain mechanics

Thanks Gabe that's exactly the sort of steer I was after. I must admit I thought the US pacific campaign was going to just cover the naval units though, and is next on my list. Thanks for the tips there - that's going to be very useful. I just completed the Blitzkrieg campaign (for second time) and ...

Re: experience gain mechanics

So this post was all about how best to rank up units to five stars for the achievement, and I was wondering how say bombers and artillery gain XP the best. So far I'm just using them as much as possible. I'm playing Blitzkrieg, I've just done Minsk which leaves 2 scenarios left. My strat bomber is a...

Re: experience gain mechanics

Just a steer - my OP and line of questiong was regarding how to best five star the different unit types for the achievements on xbox, not on the virtues of the unit types or their value on the battlefield. I'd add though that save/load as recon is painful on xbox due to the horrendous load times. I'...

Re: experience gain mechanics

Thanks for the arty advice. My Heinkel 111 H is doing pretty well and the recon is up to 1.5 stars as we start the Dunkirk scenario in Blitzkrieg. Just got my 88 upgrade to a Panzerjager which hopefully will soon be a stug and later in later campaigns.

Re: You'd better ration your attention span on this one.

I was reading in Christian G. Appy's "Vietnam" about the NVA regulars who would plant a small amount of rice beside the trail, every man. Next season, there was rice for the next man. I believe this was the Ho Chi Minh trail but my memory escapes me. I liked that long term sustainable low ...

Re: experience gain mechanics

Thanks for the air tip - that's interesting. I wonder if recon has a similar mechanic based on distance travelled. I want to five-star it and the other units for the achievement. I've 5-starred tank, anti-air, fighter, tactical bomber so far but they're pretty easy. The recon seems tough (submarine ...

experience gain mechanics

Hello there, Really enjoying the game on xbox one (apart from the load and AI turn duration :D Quick question - does anyone have any recommendations for campaigns / units for levelling up to five stars for certain unit types? Currently playing Blitzkrieg -> Panzerkrieg -> Endsieg cycle. I'll take a ...
