The tank simulation "WWII Battle Tanks: T-34 vs. Tiger" takes place in
Belarus during the Summer of 1943, in which the Soviet Union launched
"Operation Bagration", the Belarusian Offensive, against the retreating
German Wehrmacht. After Kursk, this was the most significant struggle
of the two tank armies and resulted in the complete destruction of the
German Army Group Center and the Soviet recapture of all territories
within their 1941 borders.
The player can experience the battlefield from within the Russian T-34
and the German "Tiger", with fully animated 3D interiors and playable
Driver, Gunner and Commander positions. The tanks' dynamics include
realistic physics, accurate ballistics and elaborate damage models.
Interior models feature historically accurate gun-sight optics.
The vast Belarusian landscape of the early 20th century, with its
rolling hills, villages and large forests was carefully recreated from
historical reference photos and maps. The rich battlefield environment
includes AI controlled Russian and German tanks, infantry,
armored-personnel-carriers, anti-tank-guns and airplanes.
Stunning special effects, such as explosions, fires and smoke, the
ability to completely destroy vehicles and buildings, all combine to
create a lifelike combat environment. The action can be viewed from
various camera angles in first or third person view.
