John Kettler Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) In looking for the war movie done by the son of the Bondarchuk who directed the gigantic War and Peace mega film, I discovered there is a full-blown sim created by some game designers massively unhappy with how real history and terrain were depicted in the above movie. The Truth About 9th Company is the sim resulting from their outrage, and it is a meticulous depiction of what really happened, when and exactly where. This game attracted national attention and is viewed as both inspirational and preserving the nation's combat heritage. Love the way the scene is set, truly novel and immersive, but the sim proper seems to be more FPS than anything we'd call a tactical sim. The engagement ranges, for an AK-74 using iron sights, seem insanely long. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Truth_About_9th_CompanyRegards, John Kettler Edited June 17, 2021 by John Kettler 0 Quote
Hacketäuer Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Interesting, the battle for hill 3234 must be well-known in russia and former SU member countries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Hill_3234 The battle ist described in the Osprey duell series vdv para vs mujahedin. And there is also a user made scenario for CMA depicting it, which I have not played yet tough. 0 Quote
