Umm... I activated replacement, played Wermacht both Middle and Right tree, but neither "Off-Map Tiger Assault Support" and "King Tiger" off-map calls give me Tiger 205 instead of normal Tiger/Tiger II.

And, second question, how could I direct fire in singleplayer? What modes?

2) Press D or click Direct Fire, then right-click to move around and left-click on enemies to shoot. Every time you shoot, you have to wait for the turret to reload. If you're controlling ground troops with direct fire, rapidly click to shoot your gun. If you shoot long enough, your ammo runs out and you have to reload.

Yes, I know how, but in skirmish there's no Direct Fire :p Thanks.

Direct Fire is in the campaigns and Panzerkrieg MP mode only.

1) Not suer what's going on here. It worked for me.

2) Just toggled the ability by hotkey or clicking the icon, then aim the weapon with your mouse cursor. It will fire when you click the mouse. With rapid fire weapons like MG's, you can hold down the mouse button. The icon cursor will notify you of reloads or how many rounds are left in the weapon.

You should rephrase your question then, because now you have 2 replies with people telling you how to direct fire in singleplayer.

Yurdle answered me - it works only in Panzerkrieg and campaigns :|

Hopefully there will be a mod releasing some heroes/tanks for skirmish.

What about the Tiger? I have it activated (by the way, on the rewards list there's text "Tiger Ace: 1" on that item) in rewards menu, but when I call in Tiger, it still says Tiger, and I don't actually see any difference. King Tiger spawns King Tiger.

you have to activate the new vehical in your 'customize army' tab. vehicals with green thumbs up near them will replace the default vehicals in the game.

however, minor question, What is the diffrence between the 205 and default Tiger tanks? just a paint change?

Skin and sounds are the only difference.

The 205 wasnt all that impressive... I was hoping for the bad ass black one from the Vcoh campaign.

I liked it, especially with the new voice pack much better. The other voice just bugs me coz its on all the heavys.

I was dissapointed when i couldnt see the commander on the top turret hatch tho.
