In the Tank training part of the Axis campaign I'm stuck at the point where it asks you to blow up various buildings with HE. I did that but it won't progress beyond that point. How do I get past this?

So far I've bugged out of this campaign training thing at almost every single stage: SMG training, couldn't get past until I'd enabled 'Sprint Zoom'; Squad training wouldn't work unless I used the Comms widget "Attack > Objective A/B" and not the Orders widget; Engineer training wouldn't progress until I'd blown the door up twice (even tho it went the first time); Engineer AT grenade training doesn't reset if you miss with both grenades*. Now I'm stuck on the tank one, and I expect I'll get stuck on the next one as well. All other things considered, not an encouraging start.

* Don't get me started on why I'm throwing a HHL-3 magnetic bomb. Bizarre.

I -still- can't get off this training mission; I follow all instructions but it simply won't progress after all buildings have been hit with HE. I'm powerless to try anything else because the mission locks me into the gunner's seat. Even if I can get past this tank mission I'm likely to get stuck on the next one as well judging by the abundance of error reports about it. It seems that every single Training mission is bugged in some manner.

Is there a file somewhere that I can bypass these training missions? They're an enormous pain in the posterior and just don't work.

Look to your left see if the arch way is glowing indicating to move there.

This happened to me also and I chose the mission instead of continuing campaign.

After blowing the houses up there should be dialog telling you to switch to commander position (2) I think and then to move to the archway to the left of your position to end the training mission.

I can't move the tank at all, before, during or after all buildings have been destroyed, because the mission locks me into the gunner's seat. :(

I can't choose the next mission because it still thinks that the Training mission is incomplete.

Just tried it again (again - again). It instructs you to return to the gunner's seat just after you have ordered the other tanks to join you on the crest of the hill. When in the gunner's seat it plays two instructions at the same time, one to move straight back to the Commander's seat and the other to start blowing up buildings with HE. You can't move to any other station from this point onwards before, during or even after you've blown up all buildings with HE. Arch to the left remains un-highlighted. Next mission on the list remains locked.

Training missions should be optional, not obligatory.

The only thing I did different to get past that bug was to choose the mission from Axis instead of continue campaign .
Wish I could help further, I know it's frustrating because I'm now stuck on the commander training.

Once you've blown up the buildings if you look left of the tank you will see the gates glowing - it's basically have fun the leave when you want

Yeah, I've tried Continue and to pick from the mission list but it plays out the same way every time.

He has repeated again and again, it is the same as with me, we cannot switch to commander or driver, let alone move the tank in any way.

You have to command to your teammates to cease fire.
Then detroy the targets with HE. Then you must steer with A D W S
through the port. That`s all..

I had this issue on my first try aswell, I later figured out that this was due to the fact that on first try I spawned on one of the allied tanks and it immediatly blew up and I was transferred to the real tank and after getting to the point where you HE the buildings you have to call the other tanks there but it will not continue unless both allied tanks get there. When I restarted it I had both allied tanks waiting in the spawn and when I called them in there the mission continued as normal.

After blowing up all buildings with HE the mission will not end. I've tried seemingly endless permutations but nothing gives.

Both allied tanks are behind me at the HE range, waiting. Still nothing gives.

On one occasion I spawned as one of the other two tanks, not the lead one. Mission still wouldn't progress after blowing up buildings with HE.

Once more it isn`t a alied tank but a german panzer 4.
So axis.

But after destroying the houses you must drive through the yellow
lighted port. And do it with a s d w.

Case solved.

Were you born an idiot or has it taken years of dedicated practice?

For the umpteenth time: The portal doesn't activate when the buildings have all been destroyed.

Please read the thread before posting what amounts to an 'it works for me so you must be doing something wrong' reply, which is of zero value to others experiencing this same crack in the mission script triggers.

1) don't get annoyed at people who are trying to help - people will not tray and help you if you do - especially as many people don't have english as a first language and may not have understood everything in the above posts.

2) how do you know if the portal wont activate if you can't move to the commander's seat? He's the only one who can see it.

3) the gunner should be able to move the tank without swapping seats. So from your angry posts I assume then that you can not move using the w,s,a and d keys. If so then this is two problems not one.

As it appears to be two problems - the game not allowing you to continue and not being able to move/swap seats I would suggested the ancient fix of a complete reinstall. Or ask Steam to a file check for you, something may be corrupted or missing. Assuming that you haven't already done this - I'm assuming you haven't as you haven't mentioned you have.

Doesn't matter; bypassed the mission entirely using the console 'open' command for the next mission.

As you were.
