Major Tankage, buddy

CMAK was the perfect and final sequal to this series of games. Finally, I was able to play with the most realistic and dangerous tanks in WWII. I loved my huge tigers on the landscape made for tanks...the desert.

Now, we have the most realistic gameplay made for armor. The armor wars were just spectacular and I could create my own scnarios using all of the armor in WWIi from the 1939 British Cromwell to the 1945 Sturm Tiger. Obviously, the game is an armor enthusiast's dream and it actually helped me with some of my model building.

Did you know they measured armor thickness vs round velocity and armor piercing capabilities (tungsten vs HE) on every shot made?


The music is limited to the start of the game and will make you laugh but other than that, there is no real music to speak of. The sound is quite good and realistic which lends to the immersion factor ten fold. This game plus surround sound can lead to a very loud and funky good time.

The gameplay was a bit more intuitive than its predecessors imho. I found it to be easier since the pathing worked much better and this incarnation actually had emotions of the tank commanders. A tank crew could actually panic if they were green or under constant fire.

Yes, they still continued their perfect realism with infantry, artillery, mortar, and sharpshooter behavior, but I found the most fun to be found in the armor battles.

I would definitely recommend that you purchase and install this game if you enjoy WWII games. This game will put so many others to shame since the developers did not sacrifice a single remnant of realism to deliver a fast paced game.
