I've been waiting for this to release on Steam since I first heard about it in my Sim circles. The game itself is excellent based on the earlier public build I played. I'm just sinking myself into this release even as I type this.

It hits that spot between arcade and simulator. The first one to get a decent center mass shot generally wins except at long range or oblique angles. No HP bars, you need to disable the crew or the vehicles internals just like IRL. You get to see what every round fired in a match did, whether it missed, ricocheted, or slammed through the upper glacias of a T-72, sluicing through the driver's torso and the commander's leg as the FSDS exits through the engine and rear of the tank. It's a cool feature.

The missions are an excuse for Cold War era tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to be pitted against one another. It's fun, but don't expect to feel like you're playing a video game version of Team Yankee. It's tanks on tanks and it is good.

It runs the same steady 45 fps between my laptop and my desktop and I have a feeling it's not my hardware. Your miles may vary. The only bug(?) i've run into so far is that I can't use the mouse to select what controls I want to change in Settings. I have to use the keyboard which is a bit slow but it still works.

I look forward to seeing what lies in store for the game, it's good enough as is for me to throw in my money.

*EDIT* They have fixed the minor bug like I knew they would. The developers have continued to add more content to the game on a regular basis as well which is commendable in a world of cash grab EA titles.
