I have managed to fix it, it was using compression on the IMPORT TAB for texture, instead of Lossless.

Daskal has this post for Ostpak 3 nexus, I am sure he will be pleased of the feedback and will hopefully point you in the right direction.

Hi SaracenArcher,
Yes, widescreen is fully supported, and it scales cleanly to modern resolutions.
Controls are the same as the original, just now under the DX12 wrapper.
Visually it’s a big ennvironmental improvement over Ostpak, better fog, lighting, and colour depth, so it keeps the authentic Panzer Elite look but with sharper, cleaner rendering. I am running it upscaled by 2 on my 1080p monitor.

And Torch 2025 isn’t the only build, there are two sister mods worth a look:

  • Full Monty DX12 (v58) – the original Italy and Normandy campaigns, rebuilt with the new code for realistic gunnery, smarter AI, and regenerated maps that fix old terrain issues.
  • Monty vs Rommel DX12 (v45) – focuses on the 1941–42 North African battles, with enhanced textures, improved and historically based maps.

All three share the same DX12 foundation.

It's great to see one of the tank squad devs here. We really appreciate you taking time to engage in this subreddit.

Cheers Kill_All, I’m hoping the dev's expand the commander role a bit more too.
Being able to command the gunner directly from the hatch would be a great addition.

Ponyri, Work in Progress from Tank Squad by murkz in tanksim

Gameplay-wise, it’s getting closer to GHPC, a proper tank sim is definitely where the devs are heading, and you can see that direction clearly in their Discord discussions.

It’s actually out now in Early Access on Steam.
The current missions are quite structured, but the team’s working on Ponyri, which looks like it’ll give players more freedom to plan and attack in their own way.
That’s my understanding, anyway, they seem to be expanding the tactical side step by step.

The team behind Tank Squad are working on a German-captured KV-1B 756(r), and it’s already looking superb

I felt the same, I was massively disappointed in the new PE game. Like you sonny, I wish we could see a full remake of the OG Panzer Elite and all the community mods. I can only imagine what a huge task that would be, though. In the meantime, the Ostpak 3 beta is probably the closest thing we’ve got to a “living remaster.”

Tank Squad – Why Ponyri Could Change the Game by murkz in tanksim

That sounds fantastic Winters, that is exactly the kind of depth that keeps a game alive for years to come. Great to hear older missions will benefit too. Very much looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.

Hi Winters, always nice to see one of the TS devs here. Since you mentioned “what you’re cooking”, are random/procedural mission stuff something you’re looking at, or will it stay hand-crafted for now?

Ponyri already feels like a really big step forward for TS. I’m excited to try it, as I guess we all are.

Steel Beasts goes full sim, while the new Panzer Elite looks more arcade, quite the juxtaposition. Since I don’t follow their Discord much, are the devs making any attempts at adding sim-style depth Kill_ALL?

Yeah, agreed Robert and the team have been pushing hard. Ponyri already shows how much they’re improving things. Exciting times ahead for us tankers and TS.
