The year is 1943. The Wehrmacht has begun Operation Hawk in an attempt to capture Kharkov with its steel claws.

13 of 13 people found the following review helpful Top notch simulator of WWII ground war, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943 [Download] (Software Download) This simulator is a must-have for WWII grognards. The physics modeling is excellent: ballistics, penetration calculations for different kinds of rounds and armor, modeling motion of vehicles on various kinds of terrain.The AI is not dumb at all (there is always room for improvement in the AI of any game). Once you understand the user interface commands you can make tanks take hull down positions on their own, reverse when necessary (thank God in this sim tanks do not turn around when you want them to get the hell out of a hot spot). Accomplishing goals requires tactical thinking. One has to consider the landscape, lines of sight, relative strengths of units, cover provided by buildings and forests, likely routes of advance of enemy units. Winning depends on how you use your limited resources, not on having the most powerful units. Oh and the burned out hulks of vehicles from previous battles of a scenario remain on the maps ! Provides a nice atmospheric...

I've played the game on my laptop (nothing special 'cept for dual core) and it runs just fine. Yes, this game is very realistic so often times it will take a long time for things to happen and distances are large, just like in real life. If you're looking for realism this is the game you want. If you want arcadey, Company of Heroes, or Command and Conquer games then you will agree with the previous poster who gave this game one star. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful Updated Review, By Dagger One Bravo (Virginia) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Achtung Panzer Kharkov 1943 [Download] (Software Download) Jan. 2012This game is exceptionally well done and unique. It is hard to get it figured out because the "tutorial" isn't much good but the game is worth every minute of your time trying to. Amongst other aspects described below, the attention to detail and accuracy, both graphically and historically is amazing; right down to the correct rust pattern on the vehicles tailpipes. This isn't a game for the casual player or anything but the brightest teenager though. It is very in-depth and requires a mature mind to enjoy it and to be good at it. Your AI enemy will cut you no slack whatsoever and will oftentimes be a much better player than you are, even if you cripple him in the settings. You better have a good mind for strategy... and lot's of patience because you'll spend a good amount of time not only trying to figure the game out but slowly pushing across the frozen landscape in search of the enemy after you do. Don't worry you will find him... or he will find... Read more |
