Various options are available that allow you to operate the tanks from varying perspectives (gunner, commander, driver) and control your missions from a single tank or as commander of an entire platoon of three to five tanks.

You can play from the perspective of either a Russian, German or American viewpoint. <br><br>iPanzer '44 contains 80 realistic combat areas plus the option to create randomly generated battlegrounds and battles.
