I really like Soviet tanks, and the T-34 in particular, so I thought I should give this game a try in spite of the bad reviews.

Not my cup of tea. The gameplay is way too basic, you can't even fire your machine guns (not that it matters, since there are no soft targets), nor can you use different shell types. What's worse, there's no penetration gameplay, and tanks will explode after 3 shots no matter where you hit or how close you are. The AI is really bad, enemy tanks will know where you are, even if you're behind cover, and will shoot at you even if they can't hit. Your tanks do the same. The brief time I played this, both my squad and the enemy tanks started shooting at each other while there was a building between us (a building I was cunningly trying to hide behind), both armies kept shooting like crazy until the building got obliterated and they could finally hit each other. After that I didn't care to keep on playing.

I wish the best to the dev in his new projects, and I appreciate the effort to make this available in Linux.
