I have gotten the original disks recently for this game and am trying to install it with them - i set dosbox cpu to 386_prefetch and i mount the disk in a a drive (i have a usb floppy disk drive) and mount my virtual c drive - i can install the game but then when i go to play it, the game requests i insert disk_a and type the drive letter - however this doesnt work, i cant type any letter and nothing else happens
how do i get the game to actually recognise that i have the game in the disk drive?
also i dont understand how others have been able to just sit the disk contents in a folder called a as Microprose specifically made the disks to have security protection on them - hidden files or something that dont get copied -is the some setting i require in dosbox for this to work?

Microprose had the best games. Ever. Like Bluddy Snoman, I too bought the three game pack that included this game, Silent Service II, and F19 stealth fighter. I'm excited to find it again!

the download does not run the program. it is an install version which requires it be run from either floppy drive A or B. Who has one of those today!
Please remove this or at least warn people its only an install program.

According to this video, Mi-24 Hind is possible!

I have tried the version. I saw many BTRs in the firs 'assault' mission. There were also BTR-60s and BTR-80s with infantery..
two BTR-60s as elite guard here:

I bought this with a submarine game and a stealth fighter game 3 pack circa early to mid 90's.
I ran DOSbox. from the z: mount a: c:a then I press enter and it mounts a folder I named a in the c:
Then I type at Z: mount c: c:c
then at Z: I type a:and the drive changes to a:
at a: it type install
I follow the install instructions in game. and it says installation complete,
At a: I type C: and switch to the c:
at C: I type tank and the DOSbox does nothing and I can no longer regain control of the DOSbox.
************ALERT************
I then ran DOSbox again and mounted as before a: and c:
then I followed a previous comment advice and type at c:cputype=386_prefetch
Then I typed at C:tank and tank platoon loaded. asked me some basic settings questions. Now I will play the game and see how it runs.

I missed Mi24 in PC version as well. But BTRs were used in PC version.
You can see two of them here (hit by sabot after 6:30 in my video):

You can also see their wrecks under flying A10 at 8:21.

Looking on the DosBox site, if you enter the command:
cputype=386_prefetch
in DosBox, the game will run fine. Worked for me.

confused2014-10-090 point DOS version
tried that dosnt work.it creates a tank directoy and a tank.bat file which wont run. im using d-fend reloaded btw
RED SONIA2014-07-29-1 point DOS version
OK Peeps this is how you get it to run. the game has to be installed from the a drive. so in dos box you have to mount one. what i did is make a directory called a then unziped the file into a directory calle m1tank. then open dosbox and typed at the prompt. mount a c:a (hit enter) then at the prompt mount c c:c (hit enter) for my virtual c drive. at the prompt type a: (enter) then cd m1tank (enter). then type install (enter) then follow on screen instructions have fun....
Lulz2014-06-041 point DOS version
Earlier comments make this sound like yet another faulty MyAbandonware setup means it won't run. Shame really, I played the Amiga 500 version for HOURS between 1990 until the late 90's when I finally got M1 Tank Platoon 2 on the PC!
This was despite the tons of bugs and typical AWFUL programming Microprose used to deliver, eg the Russians never ever used their Mi24 Hinds, they never fielded BTR vehicles, only BMPs, the BMP1 would never use it's ATGMs..

Bought the original and spent hours playing it. Game taught me stuff like don't be a driver (dies often), don't be inside an APC (easy to kill) or a Russian tank (easy to kill) or fly an A-10 (easy to kill). The only worthwhile position is hull-down. Apaches and Artillery are your best friends.

Exintrovert2014-05-130 point DOS version
We had this game when I was about 10 and knew nothing about computers. I do remember, however, that it had to be run from the floppy. It actually had to boot from the floppy to run.
Our disks ended up getting used so much that something got corrupted and it would no longer run. It wrote save game files to the floppy. (Bad form, IMO)
I look forward to trying this on my legacy system. I still have the original (albeit corrupted) disks that I will put this download onto :)

i would spend hours and hours speeding my bollocks off playing this game!!! ah, the memories..! :o)
Agathosdaimon2013-02-200 point DOS version
I think this download is faulty, i checked it against a working version i have and this one seems to be like a 1kb smaller in size and it might be missing something?
Josh2012-06-191 point DOS version
Same issue here. Running straight from the directory just leaves me at a hung prompt.
Mounting to a: and installing to c: from there just copies the same set of files in the original download. Running tank.com from there doesn't do any better either.

I'm confused on this one, when I try to load 'tank' in DOSBOX, the screen stayes at the prompt and then nothing. Does this game need to run 'install' first? That didn't work either, says it needs to be run from drive A or B.
Has any one got this to work with DOSBOX?
