How do you capture the armored vehicle in the first mission?
 

Is it possible? I've managed to kill the crew without destroying the car, but it's not possible to enter the armored vehicle at all.

Yeah, for one reason or another I dont think its possible, ive tried on several occasions to capture it. ive had it where it is otherwise capturable but the game doenst let you have it....

Nothing is impossible. It is only not very probable.

Keep trying.

I do belive its impossible since they coded it so player(you) can't enter it even if he eliminates the crew.

Just toy around with the game editor and change a few things.

I had some luck
 

I have just had the game for two weeks. I've been playing the first part over and over to learn the game. I've been lucky to repair a little two man scout car with a ring mounted machine gun. I got the scout car right after fixing the tank track in the beginning so I used it to help take town and the hill and destroy the convoy. I was able to do this once, most of the time I blow it up instead of just killing the crew. When I get to repair the half-track the game is essentially over. I did once capture and then repair the medium tank that always charges at me down the hill when I start the attack. I used a soldier out of my tank and when I moused over the medium tank it gave the entry symbol so I had him crawl into the tank while using the main tank to keep enemy heads down. The only fault was a repairable turret and it had a repair kit on board.

In this game anything is repairable if it gets any message but Hull Destroyed.

Unless a part is completely blown off.

Oh yeah, ive seen that only like 2 times =D it certainly is cool to see the Turret fly off but the Hull is still intact...imguessing that where the Allies came up w/ the Kangaroo Carrier. They saw a Sherman w/ its turret blown off and used it to carry men =P Or is that only from COH?

No,it's not.I remember one misson in Red Tide when you have to destroy the AA-guns and capture the planes, but when you get to AA-guns you can't capture them.This is because if youget 3 Flak guns capturing the airfield will be too easy!So some objects (like that armoured car)have a script so you can't capture them!
