PANZER ELITE - SPECIAL EDITION.

Best WW2 tank sim, bar none. Please keep in mind:

You WILL need the following:

A Pentium 1.4 ghZ
A GeForce 4

and the OSTFRONT mod included with the special
edition

Anything less is a choppy mess, and this game
was originally released to a market with
Pentium II 450 MhZs.

Best example of a game being so far ahead of the
curve I can think of.

1024x768......

But in general, you want as much computer as you can afford
for this game....it's notorious for it's choppiness, which is probably
due to it's wide open areas allowing loooong range shots with your
88s

Perhaps......but.........you can drive the MAUS with the
Ostfront mod installed.....

THE MAUS!

THE MAUS!

This is a sweet gem of a game that has taken several years
to get to the point where it's the game it should have been.

Oh yes, you can now drive all of the StuGs around, from the short
barrelled 75mm close support version from the early war years
to the later long barrelled anti-tank versions, to the final close
support model the StuH 42, carrying a 105mm close support
howitzer.

There's nothing like driving a platoon of Ferdinands/Elefants around
at KURSK, and driving past row after row of burning KVs and T-34s
that you knocked out at long range with your 88mm L/71 gun.

Didn't know you ran ENIAC. What museum did you get it from, and more importantly, where the heck did you find room for it?

I'm sorry Sheppard, but that game will bend my computer over and make it its bitch. And I've only just got Il-2, so I'm going to play that out first.

The MAUS strikes me as being optimized for the direct defense of the factory that builds it, such great mobility..

Course, any tank with armor that can deflect 11 inch shells has got my vote.

That's what tactical air support is for. A flight of Typhoons or a few Il-2s would knock the Maus down a notch.

I've never liked super-heavy tanks, because they always struck me as trying for too much. A design like the IS series is much better, because it is designed for a specific purpose and fulfills this purpose to a T. Cheap to produce, and deadly.
