The Developer Says...

Carefully balance mobility, firepower and armour in a dedicated tank designer. Then uncarefully put them to the test in a series of combat scenarios progressing through the ages of the tank. Here, your limit is what you can fit inside your hull and turret while still being able to move forwards.

❤ Gameplay Overview

This simulator allows players to create custom tanks from scratch, offering an unprecedented level of detail and customization. Players meticulously craft vehicles and test them through historical combat scenarios.

❤ Design Mechanics

Players manipulate critical tank elements with incredible precision: shape hulls and turrets using a freeform 3D designer, adjust individual armor plate thickness and angling, configure cannons down to barrel length and rotation capabilities, optimize engine performance through granular settings, fine-tune transmission characteristics, strategically position crew members, and design complex track and suspension systems.

❤ Combat and Testing Dynamics

Scenarios span from World War I trenches to early Cold War battlefields, challenging players to design vehicles that can overcome specific environmental and combat challenges.

❤ Key Gameplay Highlights

Players create everything from historically accurate German Panthers to absurd multi-turret monstrosities weighing 185 tons, testing the boundaries of tank design physics. The physics engine calculates powertrain performance with remarkable complexity, meaning a 1mm change in hull design can dramatically impact vehicle mobility and combat effectiveness.

❤ Iterative Design Loop

Gameplay centers on a compelling cycle of designing an initial tank concept, rigorously testing performance, identifying mechanical weaknesses, redesigning with surgical precision, and repeating until achieving an optimal configuration.

❤ Player Engagement Drivers

The game offers nearly infinite design possibilities, technical problem-solving satisfaction, deep historical military engineering exploration, and boundless creative expression.

❤ Challenges and Learning Curve

The simulator demands significant player investment. Success requires patience, technical curiosity, and willingness to learn complex mechanical interactions.

❤ Conclusion

This simulator offers a profoundly engaging design experience that transforms players into virtual tank engineers, blending historical knowledge with creative problem-solving.
