* Great replayability and flexible AI behaviour: “smart” AI analyses tactical movements of player and chooses the best strategy based on opponents’ behaviour rather than follows scripts. It allows to play the same scenarios using different tactics as though playing with human player.
* Painstaking landscape reconstruction of Kharkov region in scope and size
* Thorough recreation of weapons, artillery and vehicles: all battle characteristics including missile trajectories or number of crew were modeled according to military archive materials and WW2 chronicles.
* Dynamic change of day & night and weather effects, affecting combat – terrain traversal, visibility on the battlefield, disguise abilities of all forces etc.
* Destructible environment: blast and destroy almost everything, from ground terrain to houses and enemy defences. All traces of previous battles (shell-holes, broken vehicles, corpses, etc.) are left on the battlefield till the end of the scenario.
* Real ballistics: bullets and projectiles follow authentic trajectories. Proper shot longitude, number of frags and their range are calculated.
* Real vehicle damage system: engine, suspension, weapons, aiming appliances can all be damaged separately, affecting the combat abilities of the vehicle.
* Real soldiers' behaviour: every soldier has some basic parameters such as experience level, fatigue and moral, affecting his behaviour and effectiveness
* Military Encyclopaedia with 3D model viewer and detailed data on all units, describing their historical and in-game characteristics.

And the interesting interview that might help raising your interest
Epsilon: Game is great btw, I love it, so far it's a definite goty. It's remarkable how much has changed since the beta, stardock have been working their asses off, and it shows.
it has the same graphics engine than Steel Fury (tank sim) for me is very nice! so much games with mega-graphics and you play some hours and then you forget them in a week! bahhh
Achtung Panzer must survive comparisons with the likes of Close Combat, Combat Mission, and Theatre of War to prosper. Does it have that kind of mettle?
The short answer is yes. I’ve been dabbling for the best part of a week now, and what a memorable week of wargaming it’s been.
Read the rest here; RPS.com and for anyone interested the game only costs £14.95 at GamersGate.
Imo if you want a good strategy game with pretty much the same look. Go for Combat mission rather than this one. (Not shockforce - but Operation Overlord/Barbarossa To Berlin/Afrika Korps
Its MUCH better.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
Seems Skidrow released this, not entirely certain it's this exact game though since it's listed as just released on sites like Gamersgate but it could be.
