60 of 101 · most liked firstThis is a pack of two games (Panzer Elite Action "Dunes of War" and "Fields of Glory") with lots of potential but excuted poorly in several ways. First, the Tiger tanks are rendered without their turrets in both games. I can't believe that wasn't caught in their quality checks. Second, the tank physics in several missions is like more like a beach ball than a multi-ton armored vehicle. If a tank from your squad runs into you, your tank is bounced off the ground or spun around like a beach ball.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is this the next block buster game? Is this the new cool tank game we all have been waiting for? No, probably not, but due to the fact that there's not much choice when it comes down to tank games, especially on Steam..It's worth your while. The graphics are okay, although a NOT animated track is pretty bad, the gameplay is easy and fun as long as you take this as a quick tank shooting game between lunch and work. It's nothing special, although you can see a certain amount of dedication that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of good qualities, but many of them are nullified by the utter crap that is the AI and lack of diversity in gameplay. Many of you will enjoy the feel of commanding your own tank force, as well as knowing that your air force are fighting furiously in the skies above you, and I good thing to notice is that the skybox literally looks almost like real sky. However, know that every main gun you get behaves the exact same way, such as my 20mm Kwk having the exact same effect as…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rating: ** I thought this would be more like Panzer Elite. I'm guessing the creators were counting on that. The turret model rendering for the Tiger Tank is broken, meaning no turret graphic when you're driving the Tiger. (maybe this won't apply to you?)This game would be fun but the physics of driving the tank are very poor. The Pz II in FoG is so hard to drive, it is almost unplayable at points. Since the physics are off, the tank driving is "unique" at best, and the "Tiger Bug" has no patch…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy if you have Windows 7/8, this game is not compatible with these OS. Tracks don't move and the tank are poorly rendered, they glide on the terrain wreaking any immersion. I have the boxed version of Fields of Glory and Dunes of War was tempting, I bought the game again but the immersion is broken. AI is bad and some missions are poorly built, however the pleasure was in driving and battling tanks. Now even this is lost. Update - tracks don't move - no turrets on Tiger tanks, you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A surprisingly fun arcade tank game. If you liked the tank missions in the Call of Duty Series, I defininately recommend checking this one out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →How To Play Panzer Elite Action in 2024. Like the title says. Instead of writing a review of how good or bad the game is, I'm gonna show you how to play it on Windows 11. I also put a fix on the tank tracks, flickering Stalingrad wall, and the missing Tiger I turret: 1. Enable Virtualization on your BIOS.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i can't play this game in window 10 is so very bad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was one of my favourite games of my childhood and I loved it, so you can imagine my surprise/excitement when I saw it on here. My eagerness to play an old favourite quickly turned to dismay. The model details in this version are shocking (tracks aren't even animated ffs) compared to how they were on the original version I played all those years ago. I don't know why this version is so different and disappointing. 2/10 childhood fave ruined.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this game may not be graphicly impressive or very realstic, but i have had more fun with this than i have had with other tank games out there (namely WoT and War Thunder) the lack of track animation is slightly annoying, there are bigger problems with the game. at certian times it will freeze with its loading animation in the center of the screen, but a quick restart of the game fixes it right up and you can start at the latest checkpoint. As i play through more, diffrent tanks are arrive…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a set that contains both Panzer Elite Action-Fields of Glory and its expansion,Dunes of War. The game isn't too bad and seeing as you get both the game and its expansion there isn't much to complain about regarding the cost.There is three factions in the main game, Soviets,Americans,and Germans.There isn't THAT much tank diversity and a lot of the models are pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ looking. The game's graphics serve their purpose but are by no means great. The Tiger tank models,for example,are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game does not run on windows 10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not possible to play on modern windows systems but it runs well on linux. I finished the game on POP_OS with proton experimental by switching shadow type from hard to soft ingame graphic settings. Otherwise it crashes sometimes. I give negative review this game not because its a bad game (its really fun) just because its unplayable on modern windows systems. It doesn't even start. Shame for developers and publisher. I hope someday they will remaster this fun game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad game given how old this is. I was able to get this to run on windows 10 by changing the compatibility settings to XP service pack 3 and setting DPI settings to application, then checking disable full screen optimizations.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing this game for a while now and noticed a grapthics issue when playing as the TIGER 1 tank the gun turret is missing you can still shoot your main gun but the turret is missing, is anyone else noticed this issue?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →despite having "14 hours" on this game none of which have been spent playing because it won't load and i need to restart my computer for steam to shut it down
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the demo as a kid and I am really dissapointed that it isn't running on windows 10. I tried absolutely everything to make it run. Just waste of money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tanks - Check Tanks that appear to be made out of lego - Check Tanks with painted on tracks that don't move - Check Tanks that seem to weigh next to nothing - Check Tanks that bounce off of everything in the world and do gnarly 360 degree spins - Check Overall if you like looking at the back of a tank while the tracks slide along the ground. Whilst the cannon you are aiming at the enemy.....doesn't aim at the enemy. Whilst listening to terrible voice acting And liberally topped with graphics…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Use Arthur bomb. Patch work perfectly on windows 11
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Update: Thanks to a community fix which basically downgrades the game's version (check the discussions in the community hub) the game now works on windows 10/11 latest versions, only the main game so far, the dunes of war expansion remains unplayable unfortunately and it might stay that way, but I will keep the review negative because neither the developer nor the publisher cares and the expansion is still unplayable. You will still need the dgvoodoo 2 wrapper to fix the tracks and the turret…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →can not play in win10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a commendable World War II tank simulator, although it lacks an internal view and features arcade-like elements, such as replenishing ammunition and fuel, and repairing damage, through a supply dump system. However, the missions are believable, the overall feel is satisfying, and the controls respond well to arrow and mouse movements. In my opinion, it is an enjoyable and substantial game that justifies its purchase. 7.5/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know I see all the negitive reviews and do not understand . First I had a head injury in 2004 so excuse the grammer spelling errors . I bought this game with bunch others in a bundle for 80% something like that so cost was about 3.00 bucks . I have it on a lap top that is about 8 years old still good dual core but not cannot handle moderen games . I take it when traveling . Okay the game. so far I have played 2 tanks a panzer II and chezch 38t both had goals to achive , got killed a…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pure and utter crap. Non stop shooting gallery with a sliding cardboard box tank, that flies around like a beach ball. The gameplay and the physics are practicaly nonexistent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I play this game when i was child, I like this game with tanks !! But grafic is not best and gameplay too because game is old!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It saddens me still to this day that there aren't very many Tank Sims in the market at all and this is always my favorite. I played through it originally when it was on CD and other than some minor annoyances, mainly having to do with the game thinking it was an illegal copy it still holds considerable ground. It's groovy man.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a 2007 game what did you expect? Does it have bugs? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ oath it does. Does it bring back good childhood memories? yes. Now to get it to work on Windows 10 etc 1.Open the folder where "Panzer Elite Action Fields of Glory" was installed: "...\Steam\SteamApps\common\Panzer Elite Action Fields of Glory\" 2.Right click over file "PEA.exe", select "Properties" 3.Select "Compatibility" tab 4.Mark: x "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select: "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sorry to say this, but even if the game looks and is cool, don´t buy it. It doesn't work on newer OS and is waste of money. Shame. The game was actually fun, when you could play it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is good i use to play it as a child i learned my first german word HOWEVER this f**King version requires windows8> which is sad and i hope the devs fix this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game always crash at the first autosave point. So it's unable to play! Please fix this! Until that NO ONE BUY THIS!!! On other hand I got this game in box edition and I played a lot before. But no it's really disappoint me I can't play a game I paid for it. The game is really fun and I liked it and that's why I bought it for Steam, but now I can't play it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Panzer Elite Action is basically leveraging the existing assets and engine, but making an action game out of it, and while Panzer Elite is an anthentic WW2 tank sim, PEA is an action title that had you blasting dozens and dozens of tanks during a single mission, not to mention infantry, antitank guns, and more. As this is action title, you get a third-person view, and you drive with the keyboard while aim with the mouse. Unfortunately, dualstick is not possible, as this is an older title.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In the event you can actually get the game running (which for me took a considerable amount of attempts with DGVoodoo) it is quite fun. The missions are quite lengthy and variety of tanks is pleasant. The missions are similar but vary enough to still be engaging, from fighting against B1s in France to taking on Tigers with Sherman Fireflys. The AI is quite good compared to some other games. Though the main strength of the enemy AI just sheer numbers for most of the missions. The physics of the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesn't work on Windows 10. How this game is still 10 dollars beats me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game glitches on modern systems make it unplayable tank tracks don't move, the tiger tank is missing it's turret, lot of other graphics problems that will not be fixed though from what I have read the demo does not have this problem. Save your money and skip it no matter how cheap it is.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What can i say? TANKS...that is all... No seriously though. I had this game when it first came out and then after upgrading the computer to high spec etc etc i couldnt play it for some reason. forum after forum and i had to download this download that...crumbs nightmare....so i shelved it............THEN..........Steam came to the rescue and i saw it on here and thought they must have sorted it... YEP YEP and YEP again...sooooo glad i purchased this again and at a great price...It is old now…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want realism, go elsewhere. If you want graphics, go elsewhere. If you want a fun goofy little tank game, then you've found one. The physics are a bit wonky, the Tiger I doesn't render its turret, and the graphics are pants. But hell, its cheap and its fun. *Bit of an edit here. I'm not sure this game is actually finished. I think they ran out of money and just shipped it. The M4 rolls when you turn it, the IS-2 seems to be in a constant state of "Falling in hole", and the tigers…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took about 16 hours to finish but 3 were spent replaying missions because my tank would get stuck on the edges of walls or in an infinite death checkpoint (ie, respawning in an instant death minefield) This game is a masterclass in buggy games and awful awful tank physics at times (D-Day in particular) Sometimes events don't trigger or your squad members explode after bumping into them. So many frustrating moments to go through. That said, there's a good game in here somewhere. There's this…

WHEN HAVE ASK STEAM FOR HELP GOT ZERO ATTENTION . AND WHEN I TRY TO STOP FALSE RUNNING GAME IT NOT ALLOW ME TO DO IT. I MUST RESTART STEAM OR COMPUTER. IT SHAW ME THAT I PLAYED 323 HOURS OF WHICH I GOT ZERO FUN...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After the awesome that was Panzer Elite, the addition of the work "Action" to the title is a sad step backwards. The missions are very linear and very repetitive, with no opportunity for long range spotting or gunnery for the most part or room to maneuver, but it doesn't matter. The enemy AI will blindly and foolishly charge you with a suicidal enthusiasm and their tanks never seem to be a match for yours. All the cool penetration and damage mechanics are gone, replaced by a simple hit point…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you want a shoddy arcade experience akin to the old 3DO Army Men games then this is for you. If you want something fun or even competent look somewhere else. The tank tracks aren't animated so you are essentially floating on the ground and you can powerslide a 30+ ton tank.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nope, move along...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game but the turrets on the German Tiger tank glitch or bug should have been fixed for max enjoyment.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Win10/11 easy fix (just replace the files in the game folder): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vOiU_9txfx1KwzFw0gzARjKOntv6qz7t/view
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DO NOT BUY THIS GAME It does not work on my modern PC no matter what fix I tried. Do not buy it unless there is a confirmed fix that works for everyone, as so far, the fixes present online do not make the game work for everyone
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Panzer Elite Action is about an uninspired and thoroughly mediocre as you can get. Where do you start? Every single vehicle feels exactly the same, which is to say, they all feel like RC cars made out of polystyrene. If you collide with anything, you tend to bounce off like a beach ball. You can flip them easily. They spin like they're driving on ice. There's a basic third person camera, no gunner optics, no interior views, nothing. There are no shell types, and only two weapons; cannon (LMB)…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I didn't pay 3$ (sale) I would ask for a refund. It is that bad. Does not feel like a tank game, u drive and shoot but it all feels very boring. Also, the tracks don't work - the tanks just glide over the landscape! I knew it for the reviews and tought I could get over it but I just can't lol. BTW I am a huge tank fan (played Panzer Commander and playing World of Tanks...).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the original Panzer Elite upon release and even purchased the re-release as there are not many Tank Simulation games. This Panzer Elite Action Gold Edition is not a Tank Simulation game either. The game play here is exceedingly simple. You drive along, you shoot at the enemy in a very arcade style manner. The voice acting is not bad, and there's an attempt to make you feel you are part of a tank crew. The main, and unforgivable problem, is the physics are absurd. Your tank can't go up…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had this game years ago on my dual core windows xp machine, true the Tiger tanks turret is not rendered so I zoom in and use FPS style views. Will steam please do a fix for this as the Tiger Tank is my favourite.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It doesnt launch says I've played 14 hours, and can't get the game to load . 5 thumbs down
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great experience on console, a pile of junk on PC. I'm sitting on Windows 10 version 1909, and no matter what the game wouldn't run.. however it stays in my task manager taking my playtime. Anything that the community discussions has to offer doesn't work for me. I did try this game on my friend's laptop a long time ago with Windows 7 and the game works so the problem lies in the game's lack of compatibility with Win 10 although some users can run this in their Win 10 but I don't know which…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Want a realistic simulation of Tank Battles in World War II? Don't buy this game Did you like the movie Fury with Brad Pitt? Wanna blow some stuff up in an action arcade experience? Buy this game It's got a few bugs (the Tiger missing the turret is unforgiveble at this point) but there is a lot of fun to be had. I don't think 2 seconds go by in this game without some explosion going off. It's like a cheesy DTV action movie, it's silly but fun as
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Recommended...IF...you don't mind arcade-style tank action. Pros Simple, fast-paced missions. Arcade tank battles with some extras (ie. call in artillery) Cons Tank physics are terrible (tanks bouncing off each other like Tonka toys) Graphics are dated Tiger tank turrets for some inexplicable reason are missing/invisible (I zoomed the view in so the missing turrets were not a distraction) Scripted action Infantry are barely eye candy
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its very sad that we don't have many tank games on steam. This game is pretty forgettable, ~20 missions of 30 min each one, it becomes very repetitive after a while,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has no dev support, and it's graphics are pretty old. Oh, there's a bug where the tiger I has no turret. Not worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so bad, do not waste your time or money. it feels like its 20 years old.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As best as i can tell there is no save and load. Just continue or start over. If you happen to die at a checkpoint you would need to start over. Somehow hit a mine and my tank did a nice 360 somersault. So some interesting physics going on. No matter the model all tanks play the same. So tiger vs sherman feels the same as sherman vs tiger. Pretty much a linear game. Tried multiplayer but it crashed so I don't think it works. About 12 hr to finish on an XP computer, so if you want an arcadey…
