Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front Reviews

An absolute hidden gem of a "game" It's hands down the best ww2 simulator i've ever played. There is nothing like planning out an attack and watching it unfold in real time. graviteam captures the complete bleakness of the Ostfront. Or like watching a signal troop dragging wire through absolute chaos, or watching on as tanks squeal towards your troops who can't stop them because your Pak guns can't penetrate the armor. If you can get past the archaic control/UI there is a staggering amount of depth here.

Hi, I’m a huge fan of ww2 authentic games and so far I thought gates of hell was the epitomy of them all, UNTIL I bought mius front bout 2 weeks ago, having it missed due to my reallocation on a different country. I am afraid there are no words to describe the feeling of playing this extraordinary game. Once you have some free time and commit to that you just loose track of time planning and actually executing your strategy. Not One game so far manages to depict the reality of a battle in such a Realistic way… for example I found myself following my 4 panzers as they were striving to move uphill on a raining day struggling to cope with mud, sliding left and right with my infantry following up close each one individually acting its own movement from running to crawling to firing to finding cover … and all that amidst artillery and machine gun barrages , tanks having no silly health bar but realistic ballistic , armor penetration values and mechanical break downs and finally manage to capture that hill giving you a leverage against enemy troops down the side slope. My God those guys must have been ex military or something ( I’ve been in the army for 2 years) to have grasp the agony of war so splendidly and surely they have put thousands of hours into making everything so close to reality !!!!!! Guys congratulations on your amazing effort, please give us a number 2 front with maybe manor lords graphics and better unit control and rest assured it will be the game Every ww2 future game will be compared with !!!! Thank you all for your Great effort …

From the platoon level to brigade this game never ceases to bore anyone who has a niche for realistic military strategy simulators. I'd give it a try if you've played combat mission or unfamiliar with this genre. Although the UI is hard to understand at first it's completely rewarding if you master all of them, would 100% would pay for a modern DLC that contains modern European/Balkan or South east asian campaign.

great game and great dlcs also by the way hoping more good things coming to the game in the future ^^

This isn't a game, it's a simulator. Lets start off with the very few cons this game has. First, the UI is terrible, full stop. The UI is so bad, and it contributes greatly to the very steep learning curve this game has. Which, by the way, I'm 13 hours in, and I still only kind of know what I'm doing. It will take probably a couple of weeks of fiddling around to get what's truly going on. Now, that's the bad, lets get to the good. This is the most detailed, by far the most detailed, eastern front simulator I have ever come across. This armor system puts war thunder to shame. War thunders penetration calculator is childsplay. Each tank is modeled accurately, and looks pretty decent. The infantry combat is super realistic. They panic when they are surpressed, will surrender, they will cower in foxholes. Not every order you give is going to be carried out accurately if the comms are closed. Infantry throw grenades, clear houses, etc etc. There is a command structure, so platoon commanders give orders to sergeants, and the sergeants pass down those orders. Not everyone has a radio, so infantry can be seperated from their comrades. There is so much more, but just trust me, if you are an eastern front nerd, this game is for you.

best RTS simulator i have played thus so far yet ....would love to see modern days version ,i know they have some DLCs but full new game from them in modern warfare with drones etc will have my money ...

Your tanks will struggle to see anything, your men will get scared of dying and retreat, you will set up the perfect offence/defence just to get flattened by artillery, and you will love every second of it. This is probably the most realistic WW2 RTS game out there, more of a simulation to be honest. It goes as far as troops using captured weapons, in depth armour modelling for vehicles, and even a communication system for your orders to be disseminated to troops. It's hard to get into, but once you do, it's amazing.
