The tank fits the Prokhorvka battle well but I also see this as a potential gateway.

There’s already plenty of speculation that the new Churchill Mark IV collector vehicle portents a move to the western front.

But I think it may also benefit the series on the whole if it expands outwards and goes west as the flight simulation has. Building on an already strong eastern front aircraft set, this piece of the Battle of Kursk was ideal as it enabled the series to bring some classic tanks to life and set them in one of the biggest tank battles in history.Ī follow-up title could conceivably jump forward (or backward) to another Eastern Front battle introducing more tanks from that front. Clash at Prokhorovka was a really good way to get into the series and its relatively well realized. The first thing that I think Tank Crew needs is a new theatre. Today I want to explore what comes after and what kinds of things Tank Crew needs to add to the experience to grow. The series seems to be quietly moving along with a few pieces of new content but the real question is on where Tank Crew goes next. Two of those collector vehicles have been released and an additional two are in development right now. Tank Crew – Clash at Prokhorovka was the first and is so far the only release in that series alongside four collector vehicles.

The IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Series has expanded well beyond its original Battle of Stalingrad title adding not only a series of follow-on flight sim titles encompassing World War II and World War I but it also ventured out into more risky terrain by building and integrated a tank sim into the experience.
