simulation.The only part that is a simulation are the tank models, which are pretty historic and accurate in my eyes.
Everything else is far from being close to history.
Example is the german heavy tank line: they put the VK 4502(P) - a rejected Porsche prototype of the Kingtiger - above the Tiger II as its successor - and below the Maus... that's outright wrong.
That the guns are outright wrong (the 88 mm KwK 43 L/71 was the best tank gun of WW II) is another fact that is obvious for the serious historian.
So we have a nice arcade game that puts the disguise of a simple simulation over itself.
MrVic: Its a good cross between the two I think. Accurate enough to make
it feel right, Fast paced enough to make it more fun and
exciting.
Lots of the prototyped and designed tanks are included, which is nice since its about tanks not about material or ability to manufacture limitations.
Its purely about the Tanks
And yes the 88 L71 is arguably the best weapon of ww2 and the VK4502 was rejected but also the availability and limitations on materials time and manufacturing due to the war itself pretty much. While many technologies and weapons were designed they were abandoned or rejected due to many reasons. The reasons for most where due to the limitations and restrictions during the war. A good example was the US tank development. The sheer volume of improvements and new systems is staggering, At its core most of them were not pursued or ignored, since first priority was placed on manufacturing as many of the existing models they possibly could instead of slowing production and making drastic changes. All in all I love that their getting some of the experimental or passed over tanks in game, so many good ideas that were lost due to politics and war time conditions
Plus everyone driving a Tiger II with a 88/L71 would be pretty boring hehe
Also with the Hardcore modes that will be added you will see things playing out very differently
