Mobius,
Pretty cool rendering. I remember ASL had some of these monsters in their inventory. Essentially they had covered arcs everywhere, but a well-placed 37mm AT round would generally be the death of them. Nice modeling.

Thanks,
There is another model, a T-28E, which has more armor and a little better main gun. As the minor turrets are only armed with DP machineguns they only contribute to a total MG firepower.

Those have been a long time coming to a tactical computer game. Looks like the wait was worth it.

Good Hunting.

I believe these T-28's were used during the Winter War against Finland 1939-40. But improved since the T-26 could easily burn by throwing a Mokotov Candle near the rear end of that tank.

The product page tells, there is a medium and hight texture detail mode, dependent upon GFX memory. Can you make some comparing shots? [:)] I´ve currently a 128 MB GFX, but intend to buy a 512 MB one next year.

Any tank would burn if you threw a Molotov Cocktail near the rear. If you got fire up on the engine deck there was a good chance any tank would catch fire.

RH a screenshot becomes a bmp which is then turned in to a crappy jpeg to post in the forum. You can't really tell from forum shots what it looks like at your house.

I had a ATI Radeon 7000 64mb AGP card up until a few months ago and ran the game on medium settings. On low, close up, things were pixelated. FPS was in the 2-5 range. On high, things didn't look better than medium to me. I now have an integrated ATI 4200 set at 256 and run on high. It looks about the same to me. Obviously I don't know what to look for. This is all on a CRT. Also AA and AF at 0. I would rather have speed than looks.

The main concern is CPU and RAM with large forces on detailed maps.

Here is what the menu for calling in artillery looks like.

First you have to have a leader that is in radio contact. If the star by his icon in the HUD is green he can call for Off Map Artillery.

Well then, that's the TO&E the Germans had in mind. King Tigers and Maus in the same Panzer Divisions.

Good Luck stopping that combination. That should prove for some interesting what if scenarios before long.

Ah, so the best tank in the war was a P-47? Or B-25?
