Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The tank combat is honestly amazing, the screen shake when your tank is hit, the voicelines and the sounds are so good, there's a total of 4 tanks, 2 for the Germans (Panzer IV Ausf. G and Panzer III Ausf. M) and 2 for the Soviets (T-34 model 1942 and the T-70).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lighting, sound design, and even the tension of silence before a firefight begins add to the immersion.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is brutal and unforgiving: there’s no regenerating health, no crosshairs, and no handholding.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Communication is proceeding smoothly, making it not only an fps, but also a strategical game.
