Tank Battalion PC

Tank Battalion is a low-budget World War II tank simulator from IncaGold's offer and distributed in Poland by IQ Publishing. Unlike the classic Panzer Elite, which focused mainly on battles between Americans and Germans, the title reflects primarily the armoured battles of the eastern front, which is an additional incentive for Polish fans of this type of games - because we do not fight in exotic Africa or distant Sicily, but in areas almost directly adjacent to Poland.

The player takes command of one of three authentic, realistically reproduced tank models (both Soviet and German; among others T-34 Mod 43 and PzKpfw. IV). With its help we perform a number of more or less complex missions and take part in regular tactical battles. All in all, twelve historical scenarios of varying difficulty levels await us, in which we have to show great mastery, bravery and tactical thinking skills. The final of the campaign is the great battle for Berlin, the outcome of which, as in reality, will ultimately determine the fate of the entire Second World War.

As with most value games, Tank Battalion does not offer modern audiovisual solutions or stunning special effects. What we are dealing with here is rather the use of proven technologies and the presentation of the most necessary graphic tricks (realistically reproduced meteorological conditions). From this we can easily conclude that it is not rather a program for owners of grazing PCs. However, if we have slightly older equipment and are interested in the subject of the Second World War, it is worth having a look at this position.
