Tank T-72: Balkans on Fire Demo

When it comes to modern warfare, tanks have an important role to play, especially in the case of city invasions and large scale attacks on the enemy troops. Thus, thanks to their supreme firepower and the almost impenetrable armor, they are the ultimate weapon against the infantry, as well as a good way to overcome obstacles like barbed wire.

In Tank T-72: Balkans on Fire, you get a first hand experience of what it is like to be at the wheel of a tank, as well as use it to cause massive damage to anything that stands in your way. The game features a very realistic approach to the subject, with a lot of factors that influence your tank's ability to move, shoot and sustain enemy fire in battlefield conditions.

As far as the scenarios are concerned, the action takes place in the civil war that took place between 1991 and 1995 in Yugoslavia, between the Serbian and the Russian forces. Your role is to take part in this conflict and play as a tank operator who is a volunteer for the Russian side, as well as use the aforementioned tank to get out alive and inflict as much damage on your foes as possible.

The game does not spare any authenticity when it comes to the actual gameplay mechanics, since it is quite difficult to control the vehicle and make use of its cannon. Thus, beside the wide array of parameters you have to take into consideration before making any move on the battlefield, you also have to practice on driving the tank and utilizing its aiming mechanisms, otherwise you are not able to participate in the fights at all.

Moreover, even the scenarios are very historically accurate and they represent actual missions from the war. Unfortunately, there are no large-scale battles taking place, but only local conflicts that usually feature a handful of tanks. You do, however, need to put your mind to work in order to come up with a plan for each scenario, since you are also in command of a few other tanks as well and you must organize an entire attack on the enemy, with everything you've got.

In the end, Tank T-72: Balkans on Fire is not a game for everyone, but it does hit all the right spots if you are on the lookout for a realistic tank simulator. You also get to experience another war than the already dried out WWII, as well as explore new scenery.
