PC version is well balanced by comparison so stick with that I guess. ### 1/5 — Tiny screen *2019-05-18* They had an update now the screen takes up about one squar3 inch on my iPad. Fix it pleas ### 1/5 — Last eat Update😠 *2018-12-23* I’m not sure what you guys did but you need to go back and check your stuff! tanks can no longer go through Barbed wire or fences! Causal play is no longer casual! It seems like German reinforcements come in on every game turn! ### 1/5 — Latest update - Tank Battle North Africa - FAIL.. *2018-12-16* I have been playing this app for a long time and it’s been amazing. But the latest update has slowed the App. The games changes sizes whilst you’re playing from normal size, and suddenly shrinks to tiny size. Also for example in the game Breaking In, the Tanks now can’t drive over the barb wire barriers but previously they could. Terrible. Needs another urgent update to fix the errors. ### 5/5 — Über die Jahre nett😇😎. *2018-11-08* Gutes Spiel mit sehr fairen Preisen. Ist seit Jahren ein treuer Begleiter zum entspannten Zeitvertreib. Recht realistisch und nicht auf Abzocke ausgelegt. Man zahlt einmal wenig und kann spielen, bis man genug hat... Die Tankbattle Reihe dieses Anbieters ist top. Ergänzungen kommen leider zu selten, aber sie kommen zum Glück noch. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2018-08-12* Good mix of graphics, the combat is well balanced and great fun, definitely worth playing. ### 5/5 — Excellent gameplay *2018-01-26* Excellent turn-based gameplay. Buy the game and play. No upgrades, gold, silver, etc. Just buy and play. This game would have cost $100's of dollars back in the day for development, materials, and distribution. Digitized, and already developed, the cost is now nearly zero. I'd like to see this company reproduce some old Avalon hill games, and offer some of their own older games like Veracruz. I'd also like to see a retro option where the counters have the NATO unit designation, instead of the little animations. ### 5/5 — Fast and Fun *2018-01-13* Easy to get the hang of this game, it's like a tabletop war game with miniatures, but all the rules and combat are built in, all you need to do is move your units by tapping the unit then the destination hex. Hexes you can move to are highlighted as well as enemy units in range. To fire you just tap the target unit. That's what makes it so fun, but also detailed with very different missions to accomplish with varying types of units. I love it. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work well *2017-11-04* This is more or less the same game you can buy in many forms, the ancient world versions work better than this modern era mash up ### 1/5 — Cash Grab *2017-04-18* This game is very high quality and fun to play. Until you realized that you payed 2 bucks, a fair price for an app, for 3 scenarios with 8 missions. The rest of the game is sold in pieces, all costing you another 2 bucks. In the end the base game has 24 missions while another 40 are sold of at 2 bucks a piece. Personally I would not dish out 12 dollars for any mobile game, especially considering I finished the main game in a matter of days. If you are itching to play get the free version which includes one of the missions you get with the 'full version'. This game was a huge disappointment and it's a shame the developers marked up such a quality game to outrageous prices. ## Frequently asked questions about Tank Battle ### What is Tank Battle: North Africa about?
