IL-2 Sturmovik: Tank Crew - Clash at Prokhorovka DLC

Tank Crew – Clash of Prokhorovka is an entirely new and challenging way to enjoy the IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series from a different perspective! Tank Crew is a new ground-breaking tank simulator that allows you to experience WWII from inside one of ten legendary WWII tanks and battle enemy armored units for control of the village of Prokhorovka and the surrounding area during the battle of Kursk in 1943. In the largest mechanized battle of all time, you can command your tank crew in both single-player and multiplayer environments and battle the enemy in intense missions and grueling combat. Maneuver your tank to find the enemy’s weak-spot while trying to keep your own tank’s vulnerabilities from being exposed. One carefully placed round is all it takes to decimate your crew and destroy your tank! Tank Crew contains ten famous tanks and armored vehicles that you can drive, shoot and command in virtual combat alone or with friends. Tank Crew also comes with a map of the Prokhorovka sector of the Kursk salient which includes the Prokhorovka village and surrounding countryside. The topography is taken from satellite data and painstakingly reproduced to accurately reflect the battleground as it was in 1943. Houses and buildings in the village are destructible and no match for your tank. You can also knock over trees as you battle your way to victory. Several Ways to Play You can choose several ways to play Tank Crew in either single-player or multiplayer modes. We have designed Tank Crew from the ground up to take full advantage of all our mission design logic and multiplayer capabilities of the IL-2 Sturmovik simulation engine. You can operate the tank yourself or have friends join your crew and each person perform another vital function as driver, gunner, machine-gunner or tank commander! Quick Mission Support If you just want to jump into a tank and start shooting, we have several tank skirmishes available in the Quick Mission Builder. These skirmishes are a great way to hone your tank combat skills before you tackle objective-based single-player missions or intense multiplayer missions. And if you own any other Great Battles title, you can also use play tank skirmishes on other maps, not just the Prokhorovka map. Two Historical Scripted Campaigns If recreating history is interesting to you, we have built and included two historically based Scripted Campaigns that tell the story of the battle for the Prokhorovka sector – Breaking Point and Last Chance. Breaking Point showcases the Soviet side and Last Chance recreates the German experience. Each campaign is ten missions long and highlights the tactical and strategic reality of the battle. German tanks are fewer, but extremely deadly and Soviet tanks are more numerous but outgunned in a one on one fight. It’s a fascinating experience and since we have taken great pains to build these tanks to match their historical counterparts, you will quickly learn what these brave soldiers knew in the real battle - not all tanks are created equal! However, with great skill and bravery, you may be able to survive to fight another day! Single-Mission Scenarios and Support Tank Crew includes ten fast action missions that allow you to familiarize yourself with each tank and learn its driving and gunnery systems while blasting away enemy units. Ten more custom scenario missions feature each highly detailed tank and send you on a mission to confront the enemy and accomplish the objective. Multiplayer Missions and Support Tank crew also includes three specially designed Co-Op missions that you can play with your friends as either part of the same tank crew or as enemy combatants. We have also included two ‘Tank Dogfight’ multiplayer missions that you can host as your own server or join other servers and battle your friends in a pure test of your armored combat skills.
