I looked through the information on the web page for this product and was unable to ascertain if one can play online versus another player. Is this a feature?

SP only
Wilcke; my recollection of reading about the game on the Graviteam ( creators of the game and SF) is that it's SP only.Graviteam seems keen on SP( their clientele is mostly Russian-speaking areas) although they have promised that their new TankSim (Based on the Last Battle for Kharkov in August 1943 after the failure of Zitadelle) due to be released in late 2010 will incorporate MP.I just can't wait for that SIM because they promised it would be much better than Steel Fury( which is a good SIM).

Will keep my eye open on the the other SIM. Steel Fury is really great, solid, runs well and the maps are just awesome! If the next release is anything like it we will be in Tank Heaven! Especially for WWII afficionados! The Modern folks have Steel Beasts 2 PE which I have but my heart is always pulled to the WWII era. Thanks again for the info! |
steel fury
I concur entirely with you Wilcke steel f ury is the yardstick by which all tanksims have to measure themselves.Graviteam will make a new wonderful new sim I am convinced and which I will definitely buy. But let s not forget our friend ZeeWolf who is coming strong with a reborn Tiger versus T 34 which could contend for best tanksim.

Looks great
I was so impressed with the demo that I, for the first time in my life, pre-purchased the game.
This and Theatre of War 2: Kursk both look like classics. Now, the only question is what I'm more thankful for: Russian Sim developers (or, as I like to call them, Sim Developers - no one else is doing them) or Fedor Emalienko. Or Russian women. Yes, I think I'm becoming a serious russophile :D. Thanks guys. |
Like RTS. THink I give it a try

Awesome demo. I am really liking this thing. Even with out MP I am going to get it!
Compared to the TOW franchise, this one is 'my' cup of tea! TOW, TOW2 has always frustrated me. Last night, was working on learning the GUI in Kharkov '43, very intuitive and highly detailed. I selected an ATG, attached the camera and was astonished at the 3D detail of the crew and gun commander. I asked them to move the gun 10m to the left and off they went. I then sat the camera behind the ATG and asked the crew to fire at a tree 200m away and they did, until I told them to seize fire. I practiced GUI, maps etc., to get the feel for it while battles were ensuing, after 15 minutes all was well and in control. The pace is realistic for infantry type engagements. There is no hurrying and scurrying about where everything has to be done perfectly on schedule as in some RTS type sims. Or the other inherent problem in many RTS games where in each scenarion you have to comlete an assault on three trench lines and take a village with 4 tanks and 3 squads of infantry in 45 minutes of real time. Kharkov '43 is so far scoring big points in my book. I still do not have in my collection a PC based wargaming program that comes close to actual table top miniatures with a good set of rules! |
I found this review of Kharkov 1943 on www.eurogamer.dk. It got 8/10! Here's an attached google translation for those of us who don't speak Danish:
