EVENT: The Glourious Battle of Prokhorovka (Saturday 17 April 20:30 BST)

Gentlemen,

I am proud to announce a new mission I've been working on made specifically with tanks in mind, the Battle of Prokhorovka! I only spent about a week researching the conflict but I am quite pleased with what I have come up with.

Basically it's a pure deathmatch, kill anything you see with a star or a cross on it, depending on which side you're on. Features in this mission include MINES, an active battlefield with lots of AI and explosions going off, and a more complex building damage model. On the Prokhorovka map in the detailed section (marked by a square) you can blow off parts of a house and peer inside!

TANKS:

-Panzer IIIs, IVs, and Vs
-Tigers and Elefants! (5 x and 2 x respectively)
-T-34s
-KV-1Ss
-SU-122s and 152s

AIRCRAFT:

-4 x Il-2s
-2 x Po-2s
-3 x Peshkas
-4 x Stukas
-4 x Ducks

Since the planes are limited and there are many dangers (the AAA is vicious), it is crucial for those who choose to fly in this mission to be extra careful. Planes can both be returned and serviced at their airfields. Light fighters were left out to make it easier to go for ground targets, but that doesn't mean there won't be any dog fights.

I've attached some images to give you a better sense of what to expect.

Please let me know if you're interested!
