❤ Authentically Recreating the Eastern Front

Players praise the game's meticulous attention to historical detail, from the accurate portrayals of Russian Frontovik and Cossack squads, Latvian Riflemen, Austro-Hungarian K.u.K. units, German Infanterie, and Bulgarian riflemen, to the realistic depictions of World War I-era weapons, uniforms, and equipment. This level of authenticity successfully transports players to the battlefields of the Eastern Front.

❤ Tactical, Squad-based Combat

The gameplay emphasizes coordinated, squad-based tactics over individual heroics. Players must work closely with their 4-man teams, leveraging each member's unique skills and roles to overcome the challenging battles. Survival depends on maintaining accurate fire, positioning strategically, and executing organized assaults - a far cry from the run-and-gun antics typical of many first-person shooters.

❤ Large-scale, Dynamic Battles

The "Maneuver" game mode delivers epic 64-player confrontations across expansive maps. Rather than static trench warfare, the objectives and frontlines constantly shift as players fight to capture and defend critical sectors. This creates a more fluid, free-flowing style of gameplay compared to the Western Front battles of the series' previous title.

❤ Unforgiving Realism and Lethality

Tannenberg sets itself apart with an exceptionally high degree of realism and lethality. Weapons faithfully replicate their World War I counterparts, with bolt-action rifles and pistols often requiring only one or two well-placed shots to kill. This punishing mechanic forces players to exercise extreme care and precision, as even the slightest mistake can prove fatal, imbuing every firefight with a tangible sense of tension and danger.

❤ Bot-Supported Full Battles

To ensure players can experience the grand scale of Eastern Front engagements, even when human populations are low, the game leverages AI-controlled soldiers to fill out the 64-player matches. While not a perfect substitute for live opponents, these bots help provide a consistently engaging gameplay experience.
