I think its a great addition to this franchise. Kursk allows the developers to focus on the games strengths. Can't wait to have Tigers, Panthers and IS tank destroyers.
Kursk is the best choice because of the absense of mulit-story buildings which for the life of me I don't think can be modelled in this type of game effectively by 1C, Microsoft or anyone else.
I love this game with a passion, can't wait to buy "Kursk" and hope the folks behind this series are making a bundle of money so we can see more!!
