What the developer has to say about the game:
"Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front - tactical battalion level combat simulation. It is a sequel to Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star and Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943.
Game is comprised of two modes:
Operational - turn-based mode where you can shift and concentrate forces in the chosen directions, resupply and replace units, repair and refuel vehicles.
Tactical - real-time mode where you are conducting fire combat with the enemy, capturing territory, destroying vehicles and the enemy manpower.
Four large-scale operations for the Red Army and Wehrmacht with realistic organizational structure. The campaign features more than 100 detailed vehicles produced in USSR, Germany, US and UK. Over 140 sq. km of realistic landscapes were reconstructed from topographical maps and photo and video materials.
-New enhanced UI: streamlined interface of various panels, radial orders menu and other enhancements.
-Interface appearance and customization: three variants of appearance are included, customizable unit markers (Red Army, Wehrmacht, NATO).
-High replayability and advanced AI, which selects the best strategy based on behavior, not a predetermined script.
-Advanced management of forces in the operational phase: reinforcement strategies and management of reserves.
-Statistics keeping: performance of each unit is recorded (kills, losses, awards, etc.). After each battle, damages and condition of forces and vehicles are shown in the after battle statistics.
-Battlefield simulation: realistic vision devices, smoke screens and flares, creation of trenches, explosion craters. Remnants of previous battles remain on the battlefield until the end of operation.
-Realistic soldier behavior: each soldier has several essential parameters, such as experience level, stamina and morale, which influence their behavior and effectiveness.
-Detailed weapon modeling and realistic ballistics: bullets and projectiles follow ballistic trajectories, taking wind, temperature and other parameters into account.
-Advanced armor penetration: modeling based on ballistic histograms without simplifications of probabilistic methods, generation of secondary fragmentation fields takes into account many parameters, such as the change of the field shape in space, fragments and armor characteristics, armor thickness and damage conditions.
-Complex vehicle damage system: engine, suspension, sights, weapons and targeting mechanisms can be damaged separately, affecting the combat capabilities.
-Destructible environment: almost everything can be blown up and destroyed, from landscape surface and buildings to vehicles and enemy defensive installations.
-Advanced control of the off-map artillery, featuring various fuse settings and shell types.
-Formation and movement modes: lines and columns, movement by road and covertly, infantry following behind tanks, setting a delay, fire sectors, etc.
-Automatic smoke screen laying: units set up smoke screens when enemy is spotted.
-Dynamic change of the time of day, light sources and weather effects, influence the course of battle, visibility and area passability."

This is really entertaining to watch! Please keep up the series

[@Tonci87]

I will :)

[@Edelwolf783]

I started the game again and getting better. it is a lot of fun when a plan works out and sometimes rly depressing when your squads got wiped out.

[@hbora8339]

thank you very much for making these

[@alanw.8291]

Enjoying this series. Keep up the great work!

[@marcussurleyadventures1928]

Swift victory…A well coordinated attack. Good to see the infantry being supported by the artillery across open ground. Thanks I enjoyed watching.I was a little surprised the village wasn’t better defended. Looks like you caught them by surprise.

[@Tonci87]

I had the impression that they were just pulling out / retreating to better positions

[@Wake-Less]

Really enjoying your videos, thank you

[@snoo333]

that was fun to watch.

[@Tonci87]

I´m glad that you enjoy the videos :)

[@ARescueToaster]

55:13 In case you're still tormented every night over the past year over not being able to identify that machinegun.. it appears to be a Bren gun! Top loaded magazine, big wooden carry handle - gotta be a Bren! And it sounds amazing.. Edit* Okay it's an MG30! And the MG30 is apparently a Czech gun, and earlier versions of it inspired the Bren! (Yea.. "inspired" - they look damn near identical!) Also, I've never considered mods for Mius Front - gonna have to check out the ones you use!

[@LeLv8_Archi]

It is helpful to set quick and easy key commands for 'Check line of fire' and 'Check area of sight' from the menu. I use them to quickly check where my units can see and shoot.

[@Wake-Less]

How do you do that?

[@yavimayawurm9769]

This sound mod is amazing

[@Tonci87]

Absolutely, it sounds very realistic

[@brunovancon6103]

Yes it is. I used VAPOSM sound mod, but since I discovered this one in your vids, I now use this one as well.

[@spiraling6980]

Im really loving your Mius front videos! Your vids made me want to get back into the game. I quite a long time ago because I was having a difficult time learning how to play. Please keep teaching how you do things. Also, exactly what mods are you using? I like to have my game play and sound just like yours!!!

[@Tonci87]

Thank you. A list of the mods is in the video description :)

[@Coinkidoink]

Love it :) you dont have to manage ammo for MGs and infantry in this game i assume since i never see you do it what do you have to manage ammo for?

[@Tonci87]

You don´t have to do it in this campaign, since it is a rather short one, and supplies are plenty. Other campaigns require that you keep a close eye on the ammunition situation and set up supply chains and pull back units to resupply.

[@spiraling6980]

So I'm back with more comments and questions - lol ! Spent a carefree Sunday afternoon watching your vids and playing a few min of my own game. Good clean fun! This game sure gives you an idea of how some of the combat looked like on the Ost Front! Russia's wide open expanse sure allowed for maneuvering. By the way, I noticed that your UI on the left and right is bigger and easier to see than my own. I'm guessing its because I'm using a 4k monitor. In the settings I do have the UI increased to 100% but the side UI are still small and difficult to see in my game. Am I missing something? Any ideas? Thanks!

[@Tonci87]

Sadly no ideas. here. You could try to ask the Devs directly on the steam forums.

[@miketeeger5167]

Just wondering what settings your using in regards to difficulty and general gameplay. Also I was wondering if I should enable or disable "control units directly" This says I can issue orders to platoons and squads during the operational phase and wondering if its better to play with that on or off. Thanks and I'm really loving the series

[@Tonci87]

Game difficulty: Normal Realism Level: Simulator (slightly modified). I play with direct control off (and so far I like it). This means that the orders that I give on the operational map, are only executed after I hit end turn. I explain that in the first Croatian Legion video from 11:55 onwards.

[@martindejonge695]

How do you use scouts effectively? One example is the Donbass-Rostov Defensive Operation where you have quiet a few scouts as the Germans or Operation Modular where you have the lone scout group in the upper left corner

[@Tonci87]

Scouts are good at spotting things. Even on the Operational map they will help you to "see" what kinds of units the enemy has on the adjacent tiles. Don´t let them die ;)

[@waelellouze]

Nice watching, which game version did you play? can not run the mods with mine.

[@Tonci87]

I'm running the latest stable version.

[@coreychipman]

Your "Zero In" fire mission is called a Gun registration. Those are known points now that your leaders can adjust fire from. Does this game actually allow this?

[@alanshackelford6450]

Do you ever split you LMG's off from your German rifle squads and use them to create a base of fire while the rifle teams assault? I swear I've seen somebody on KZbin do that.

[@Tonci87]

Yes, I sometimes do that if the conditions are good and I have the capability to micromanage to such an extent

[@Trigves]

I have a technical question. What are your rig specs? Thanks

[@Tonci87]

CPU: 5900X GPU: 6800XT 16 GB RAM SSD: Samsung 980 Pro

[@Trigves]

@@Tonci87 Thank you very much. I'm trying to set up eGPU on my ZBook G2 and want to find the decent GPU that will work with this game.

[@spiraling6980]

Please tell me exactly which mods you are using. So I dont waste any more time trying to make my game sound like yours. I've tried for nearly 3 hours to download the three parts of the Ruki Sound mod. its downloading the files to Google Drive but I cant download from Google Drive to my PC! Arrgggh!!! what am I doing wrong???

[@Tonci87]

I use all parts of the Ruki sound mod. No idea why you can't download it. Maybe try another browser

[@spiraling6980]

@@Tonci87 I eventually got it to work. I was trying to unpack the file further instead of enabling it with the Game Updater. Stupid me... Hope to see a new vid soon!

[@Tonci87]
