Tank Battle Classic Rolls Out on Steam in September
The game trades hit points for realistic penetration and armor modeling, and a single well-placed shot can end a tank, which puts the focus on positioning and aiming at weak points.

Developer Chobi, known for tank-related apps, opened the Steam store page and trailer for Tank Battle Classic, a single-player tank battle action game set in World War II. The game uses retro visuals and real armor and penetration mechanics. A single penetrating shot destroys a tank, and armor thickness varies by hull location. The game launches on Steam for PC in September.
Chobi, the developer behind 'App for Adoring Tank Tracks' and 'Tokyo Danchi Tank', is bringing its tank focus to Steam with a single-player action game built around actual armor behavior. Armor thickness is tied to hull location, and penetration changes with impact angle and distance, so the game is not hit-point-based. One penetrating shot is enough to destroy a tank.
Players earn points from cleared missions to buy new tanks, and in most missions they can pick which friendly and enemy vehicles sortie. The September launch includes maps such as suburbs, urban areas, forests, mountainous regions, and plains, with more planned. The vehicle lineup covers Soviet and German armor from the BT-7 to the Tiger II.
