Has anyone been playing the new Kursk Campaign?

I took it more as an adaptation of one interpretation of history, as seen in the tank simulation Panzer Elite. Taken as such, I found it well-designed and entertaining.

Just out of curiosity is it the "Panzer Elite" ww2 tank simulator game from 1999 or the 2006 "Panzer Elite Action" FPS shoot'em up?

Completely forgot about the newer one, which I haven't tried and don't intend to due to the frankly repulsive ads I saw. So I've only played the old one, years ago. The original game had no Eastern Front action, but fan mods had some. Not sure if they had Kursk, but I can imagine some of the scenarios being "converted" to SPWW2.

I used the 1999 "Panzer Elite" as the basis of the campaign. The Beresov, Yakovlevo and Teterevino maps were based on maps from the game. Also the scenario progression from Beresov on. However it is only a platoon level game so I increased the scale to brigade-. I also designed the Prokhorovka map from other map sources. The battle of Prokhorovka is quite close to historical accuracy.

And you used the Ostpak-MOD of the game right?

The base game does not feature anything on the Eastern front.


I'm still playing the game from time to time and it's still the best WW2-tank-simulation I know of.

It's available at GOG:

Together with the "Panzer Elite Three"-MOD (includes Ostpak and a lot of graphical improvements) it's still great and has an acceptable graphic for such an old game.
