[Game] Achtung Panzer Operation Star

[Vyllis]

Hello,
It's like the demo of Achtung Panzer Operation Star is out.

Need a long dl time for my crappy connexion. Anyone has tried it yet ?
I loved the first more than TOW2 AND TOW3 Korea.

Is it really like that?

 

[Vyllis]

Pardon? erm, yes.

The first Achtung Panzer was a slow paced WWII STR game, less tank only gameplay like TOW. I found it more tactical in a certain way, despite the horrible UI. Preparing ambush, calling stukas... The aera of play is pretty wide and you can, finally, really use flank attacks in this game.

The IA is definitely smarter than the TOW one and will sometimes make you nasty surprises

as with all RL RTT i've played, what's important to me is that the engagement ranges seem realistic - the video looks promising,

 

[Shadrach]

Played the demo, it's good. Excellent game. I played the original AP almost to death so yeah, looking forward to it finally coming out in the rest of the world

And the UI is much better and more usable now, with nice clean icons.

Although this is what really makes me all hot and flustered from Graviteam:
steel_armor_blaze_of_war_air_01.wmv - YouTube

 

[dogbadger]

yeah I love steel fury and balkans on fire - blaze of war is my most looked forward to title in years.
If i was ever to get involved in a mod it would be this era without question.

I have some close combat games but since then any of the recent RTT games i've tried haven't really done it for me -

whats kharkov 43 like? I presume this will be along the same lines of course

YESYESYES!
I'd kill for another armour sim in '42 or the summer/winter/spring of '43!
Really glad to hear they have it in the works!

Robert: Is there a possibility of porting Steel Armor: Blaze of War to other platforms besides the PC?

Vladimir: There is no such possibility right now and we are not planning it for anytime soon.

Excellent. A manly game

Excellent. A manly game

Eastern Europeans/ Russians have almost completely taken over the PC milsim gaming scene (and their action/adventure titles aren't too shabby either...) - in fact they have been flying the torch for PC gaming for many years now.

Certainly as far as milsims go they have that authentic vision and enthusiasm that reminds me so much of what British devs were doing in the 90s

AP: Operation Star is out on Gamersgate today.

This is going to be good - ah the tension of those dark night battles, just the sounds of the wind in the trees and the rustling of steel tracks, before all hell breaks loose

 

[Avtomat]

I just got my hands on Operation Star, and I must say. It's ****ing awesome.
I just love the atmosphere when I'm leading my men to attack a village at night and I start hearing track and engine noises, then one of my men scream: ACHTUNG PANZER!!
Everything in this game is overall good, I got used to the user interface pretty quicly. It ain't that bad.
Tough I have a question. Does anybody know how can I get Pz IV ausf.G s in the quick mission editor? I mean what unit has them? I can't find them anywhere...

 

[sovietinfantry]

Does anyone know if this works on Windows 7?

Just bought it. BEST WW2 MILSIM EXPERIENCE YET:IS2::IS2::IS2::IS2:

 

[Vyllis]

Yes it work well on W7 . The news patch really improves the game. If you need some infos go to the SIM HQ forum Graviteam page.
