I spent a little time with the free demo and I like it a lot. Movement and shooting feels very good. The damage model also seems to be very well done. The AAR feature, which lets you review every single shot in great detail, is also a very nice idea. It is quite interesting to see how a shot fragments and where those fragments get deflected by internal components. For example I head a sabot pass through the tip of a target’s barrel and then the fragments failing to penetrate the hull itself. Talk about Spaced Armour…
What is absolutely fantastic is the sound design. The crew voices are dynamic and get more intense depending on the situation. An enemy tank close by with its gun pointed at you and your commander looses it. Very well done.
Overall there is not much of a game yet but the basic mechanics seem to be on a very good path. This looks very promising and I hope they will be able to create a fun game around this core.
