What could the Kursk campaign look like?

I wonder what could look the battle of Kursk in 1943.

On the Soviet side:

  • T-34-76 - able to pen Panzer IV G / H from the front, and a Panther D/A from the side.
  • KV-1 - same as T-34 but with better armor (200 tanks were used)
  • tank destroyers - SU-122, SU-76 and maybe SU-85 (about 100- 150 were used)
  • infantry weapons - same as in Stalingrad

Axis:

  • Panzer IV G + H
  • Panther D + Tiger H / E (on 3000 tanks used, only 200 were Panthers and 260 Tigers)
  • Ferdinand as a tank destroyer
  • same infantry weapons as in Stalingrad (NO gewehr 43 !!!)

It could be only truly good campaign for a tanks battles, as it would require to flank the Tigers and Panthers by T-34-76.
But - bigger maps = more running for infantry :mechanical_leg: :mechanical_leg: :mechanical_leg:

Don’t overlook the large number of defensive positions, direct or curved fire artillery, mines, and soldiers.

I would camp for few days as a mortar man or machinegunner till game would kick me for the interactivity. That’s the one way to return home and avoid the war i guess.

for a campaign, there won’t be a “Campaign” it’ll probably become another map after the merge.

What Kursk? According to some 200IQ ppl we shouldn’t have Kursk, Berlin or Normandy maps. Just Generic ww2 map no4.
That’s what ppl want, right?

When I want historical accuracy I can read some book or watch documentary. But a multiplayer game needs to be perfectly balanced, and Enlisted is not.

This implies symetrical maps and equipment. So maps that have nothing to do with ww2 + fedorov for everybody.

I think I’m more willing to suffer imbalance rather than boredom.
