Kharkov '43 Update 1.03 - coming soon

Strela · 08-02-2015, 11:45 PM,

Hi Guys.

Just a quick update, we're hopeful that we can release the latest patch for Kharkov '43 very soon.

This will essentially bring the game up to the same standard as the latest Moscow '42 patch.

Once released the build will be on the new JTS graphics scheme which will mean that Jison's Mapmod will not work out of the box. There is a thread in the forum here with a fix that will help for those that want to maintain that mod.

There was another thread that had a few Kharkov '43 screen shots. I have ported those shots into this thread.

The Soviets graphics are essentially unchanged from what was released with Moscow '42.

The Germans have better winter clothing than during the 41/42 winter;

The Italians make an appearance;

There are a range of new vertical and horizontal blankboxes as well as new terrain information box - here is an example;

And finally an example of the terrain - here is around Slavyansk where the town is in river valley and the heights behind the town are evident;

Not automatically. it's up to the initial designer.

It's not hard to port the terrain across if you have a JTS version of another title.

The unit graphics are significantly harder as there is significant variation in naming conventions.

I think it should be in the interest of JTS to bring all PzC games up to the same graphic standard.

Again, a mention anyone using Jison's Mapmod will have to follow the procedure documented elsewhere in the forum.

Enjoy!

Just installed and the graphics are a remarkable improvement. Hope to see more PzC titles get a similar update.

Given v1.03, is the Operation Star Variant 1 found at Forums / The Firing Line / Tiller Operational Campaigns / TOC Mod Scenario List / Kharkov 43 Mods still the most up-to-date scenario?

All the latest Variant scenarios have been included in the official Patch since v1.02.

Installing the patch will ensure you're up to date...

Menu bar/ settings / Graphical Unit Icons

Is this not supported any longer? There are no such icons on the symbol sheet, only NATO.

Hi,

I have followed Jison's lead of removing these icons as it seemed few if any used them. If I ever have any spare time (I don't currently), I'll see if there is anything I can cut across from the icons we use in Panzer Battles.
