Thank you zavar, it seems to work! 1.9 with triple tiered tank carousel, all coloured, no TS-5 in the garage and now I'll try it in game...
Yes!
It works, zooming out works, sights work, map mods work, shell flight time works, all the mods I use work.
Now, if someone could just push my tank back onto it's tracks again, I'd be able to continue playing in this battle...
For some reason Karelia + Assault seems to be about every 2nd damned battle this week! :(
