It could have been a good game, but it's just mediocre

The good thing about this game is it's reality, the way in which the damage/armor of the tanks reflect reality. It's nice to have a game in which you can actually see your tanks damage and their armor piercing capabilities, not having to rely on your ww2 info, or on try and error.
The bad thing is that the graphic is somewhat outdated, bringing nothing new than its predecessors. Also, the view can't be changed, and sometimes you just can't see the soldiers behind trees or bushes. This can be rather frustrating if you have to end your mission and can't kill the last man,
Another bad thing is that the AI is kind of inconsistent, sometimes it has pinpoint accuracy when using long range artillery, other times the units just sit there and get shot.
The soldiers in the game are way too strong, meaning that if they are in a trench or down on their bellies, they are really hard to kill, and they damage tanks using hand grenades. Also I think that mine are weaker than the comp's.
Also, the last thing is that the game it's too hard, for example, the side armor of a KV tank is 85, while the armor piercing capability of your best tank is 75. You just have to find a solution...
