Codename: Panzers - Cold War

The first game was one of my favourites from my childhood and I still enjoy playing it, the second game was a good Africa expansion. This however doesn't feel like a Panzers game, it feels like a choppy mess with better graphics that didn't know what it wanted to be.

My childhood, Big Love to this game and Devs. little buggy whyle loading a Breafings before missions but it was good to remember old times

Win 11 - game does not work after first few missions edit: managed to make it work under win10; it's an ok game, a simplified version of first two parts. the models are well done and the animations are ok; worth your time if you don't compare it against its predecessors

It's the worst of all Panzer games. I reached the end and during the last missions I just wanted it to be over already. Gameplay-wise, it's simpler than Phase 1 and 2. The combat involves more units but you can do less stuff with them. New features include the ability for soldiers to build small structures and for tanks to be customized (with rockets, anti-aircraft guns), but everything boils down to send everyone and keep your repair units/medics alive. Btw resources are infinite. There's no depots or resource management. You can repair a whole army twice with the same repair vehicle. Plot is stupid and nonsensical.

It's all a single plot having you play only as NATO, it's nazi allies (yes) and an incredibly stupid plot revolving around soviet intelligence infighting. It starts kind of believable with an accident escalating tempelhoff crisis, but then it devolves to a dumb mess that doesn't takes itself seriously but it's not interesting either. Mission design starts decent but then it becomes a slog. There's some mildly fun missions in this game but th…

Full of bugs, always crash
