Battle Supremacy App Reviews

Shooting through walls continues

Appart from the fact that the game is quite unfair and sides are often unbalanced, it is fun to play. Occasionally you find guys with invincible tanks. I have all tanks and all of them in full armor and equipment, I know the weak spots, but it is sometimes impossible to defeat some of these invincible opponents. They have faster tank (smaller tank with weaker armor), they shoot at someone else, so you have a clean shot at them and plenty of time, and you just cannot penetrate them, several direct hits, I see the shell hit the tank and you just seem to be extremely unlucky and cannot get a hit from 10m counted as damage to the opponent’s tank, yet one shot from them into the front of your heavy tank (the strongest armor is in the front) and you are gone. Perhaps they use cracked version of the game (since the game is digitally signed, could it be on Windows?) Another issue is the fact that the game often freezes when opponent fires, especially fire shell. This could be caused by integrated graphics, where visual effects for fire are probably generated as particle effect and integrated graphics cannot quite handle that. If the scene is more complex and you use tank with more polygons and better textures it is even worse, almost unplayable. You try to turn cannon towards opponent and quickly fire if the opponent is close, but if the opponent fires fire shell at the same time, the game freezes and you fire into a completely random direction. If there are 2 opponents firing at you, you cannot even aim your cannon, because graphics rendering intermittently freezes (perhaps frame rate just goes down to less than 2 frames per second). You could set lowest graphics quality, but then you cannot really play, because you see very few obstacles at distance, so you fire at tanks, but shells hit obstacles. It would be nice if you could just leave normal graphics quality setting and disable fire effects. It was a lot better in some previous version of the game, but I guess they wanted to improve graphics effects, so with integrated graphics without dedicated memory, there are some difficulties playing this game. If authors could make some improvements to make strength of each side more balanced, if you could disable each visual effect individually, and if players couldn’t cheat, if you could change color of your tank when a match starts (urban, desert, forest, snow camouflage should match the scene) it would be absolutely perfect game.

The game used to be fun until lots of people caught on that the Crusader tank can unnaturally zip around the battlefield rapidly firing damaging shots. You literally see the tanks hovering and floating sideways. Now everyone disregarding strategy and who’s looking for cheap thrills uses the Crusader. I admit, to compete with them, I even bought one but they really aren’t satisfying. Boring really. The developers should actually spend more time testing new tanks and gameplay before releasing garbage into the wild.

I’m spoiled after playing WOT on the PC. This has all the makings of a WOT, but the developers have to sit down and figure out how match tanks better. It appears that until I have a Matilda no matter how much gear I put on my lower end tanks I haven’t a chance. The characteristics and ballistics should be better matched to even out the teams and give everyone a fighting chance. It would surely improve the experience and allow tankers to use more strategy rather than ballistics and armour plating. Still and all I enjoy the game.

This is a review for the company, I believe that your game is a little too stiff your road wheels aren’t rounded, and you don’t have working suspension which would help the tanks move around much easier for instance when you hit a rock your tank bounces everywhere, and if a 30-150 ton tank hits a sand bag barrier with little sticks in it or a tree, I’m pretty sure that it would have no problem running over it. Thank you for your time, Sidestrafe12.

I am not a gamer but I wanted something to play that was,int over the the Top and I did,int want to play against others just myself this has no support anyone that is,int a pro gamer

It’s a great game to play. But it can be extremely frustrating. And now they have created a tank (KV1) that takes more than 50 shots to actually destroy. It makes the game too difficult for others to play against those. It makes you not want to stay with the game and look for another that creates a more fair envronment for all players.

Update: Still love the game and a year after purchase, am still playing all the time. I also play WoT and like this better. WoT, as nice as it is, has some ridiculous and historically inaccurate features (like the 5 round salvo). Just silly. Anyway, for the people saying this game is laggy and unstable, I haven’t experienced any issues whatsoever and think they may just be trying to squeeze too much out of a slower processor / graphics card. Runs flawlessly on my 27in iMac Core 3 with 16GB ram. Yes - The Crusader is ridiculous and the Matilda isn’t far behind. If the developers read this, I hope they do something to level the playing field. I have both Crusader and Matilda maxed out with upgrades. I absolutely SLAUGHTER medium and heavy tanks with them, and that is just plain bad design. Historically, the Matilda could go head to head with a Panzer III but should be no match for a PzIV, Sherman, or T-34. And as for Pershings, Tigers, and KV1’s etc… Forget about it. The Crusader, and the British cruiser tanks in general, were never a success on the battlefield. They were fast, but very under armored and under gunned and were no match for the anti-tank weapons they faced. Reload times on both tanks are inhuman. The climbing abilities of all the tanks in this game are extremely unrealistic, but make for better gameplay as you can make use of all the terrain. I’d like to see an M3, Hetzer 38T and Jagdpanzer added. If you like tanks / WWII, get the game. Well worth every penny. Spend a night playing the campaigns, then go right to the online game against real players. That’s where all the fun happens. The campaign AI tanks won’t give you much challenge. Original Review: I bought the game soon after it was released and this has been the first (and only) app store game that I didn’t lose interest in after a week or two. Months later I’m still playing regularly. I have both the desktop and iPad versions. I can’t get the hang of the iPad controls but on the desktop with a 27in screen, mouse and keyboard, it’s killer. If, like me, you wished World of Tanks would port to the Mac, you gotta get this game. I only play live online. The solo campaigns are pretty boring (I hate hate hate the naval and air levels that you’re forced to play) and the AI is not challenging. The live players, on the other hand, are VERY good. My complaints, and they’re minor, are that some of the tanks like the Crusader, are just unrealistically powerful. The game developers need to crack open their history books and rethink a few of these tanks. That, and with the desert update, the physics got pretty goofy - flying and jumping tanks? Why? All iin all, the best game I’ve bought for the Mac.

I updated to this (very reluctantly) and now I cannnot play online. It keeps on saying “Connection tot he server could not be established, please try again later.” This game used to be my favorite on my MBP, but now it is crap. Fix it now, Atypical.

This game was good before but now you have to buy a bunch of tanks. I had already unlocked the Tiger and now I have to buy it. It will delete the tanks you did unlock if they now require a purchase.

Bit of bait and switch with new features! - and by the way you have to pay for them. I liked it before and yeah I understand they want more money, who doesn’t? But I am not at all sure I am the person who is going to give it to them. Especially disconcerting it does not tell you inside the game how much for each upgrade takes you straight to put in your password at app store not me, not until I know how much.

Now you can pay for upgrades. I originally thought this was great but then discovered the tanks that I played the game to earn credit for are not doing as much damage as they were. I upgraded upgrate ammo to AP but the AP round do less damage then the standard. Also, the landscape is not showing correctly. So you see the tank but not what it is hiding behind. Is took me a few minuited to understand why I was missing.

The game has decent graphics and a potential to be fun, but in reality it is more frustrating than fun. In app purchases actually do not work at all. - not only will they not tell you how much you will pay for it until you enter your Apple ID credentials (Bait & Switch, anyone??) - the credentials also do not work at all, not even after resetting my Apple ID password - hence the player is stuck using sub par equipment for rookies and getting butchered by players with better equipment and waiting to respawn more than actually playing - i was unpleasantly surprised that a joystick (which works with all other games from this company) doesn’t work in this game’s campaign mode for planes! Umm,….??? Would I recommend it to a friend? No. Is it worth the $5? Nope, not by a mile. In my opinion. Deleting it off my Mac.

This game just became a pay to win game and thats what free to play online games are for not games that cost $4 to $5 either reduce prices or make everything in this update unlockable in game!

This game was fun with its original version, now the new update is making things worse and worse. :( Not recommended to play this game, I am very disappointed, developers only care about short-term profit as they are making this game unbalanced. As I wrote in the review for the second update, good graphic, which is one of the few good things about this game. I am not a new gamers to these types of games, I have experience with Tanki Online and World of Tanks, 4.5 years for Tanki and more than 1 year for the latter, at least they are making things more balanced than this game. Now I am going to play League of Legends, which is better than this kind of buy-to-win game, players relying on one’s skill than just buying unbalanced things to make the gaming experience worse. Very disappointed for spending $4.99 on this, it would have more use than buying a game like this. :( This game should have a bright future, now everything is ruined.. :(

I really liked this game and played it a lot. However, the upgrade just doesn’t have the same look and feel. I liked it much better before.

I’ve had some negative things to say about the newest version of Battle Supremacy in another forum (its Facebook page.) But I will add here that I’m quickly getting so dissastisfied that I may soon move it to my dustbin of apps. Here’s one example: In previous version, an enemy tank icon would show up on my radar screen whether it was far away or getting closer. The game wouldn’t identify the enemy tank unless I or a teammate could visually see it. The new version’s radar, however, doesn’t pick up some tanks until they’re right on top of me. So what’s the point of having radar? Moreover, regular tank rounds do much less damage; players get 14 or 15 special rounds, but after spawning, they don’t get a full compliment no matter how many they used before being killed; and so on. There’s a lot of these little issues that makes me wonder what the developers were smoking when they built the newest version.

When this first became popular I was all for it, pretty great graphics for a $5 game, relitivly balanced, and the play to progress way of doing things was awesome. It also handled a little bit like a computer game for those on *gasp* computers. But now.. I have no words.. Everything you’d want requires more money after the inital $5, its unbalanced, and looks like a poor attempt to make a quick buck off of in app purchases. Very disappointed Atypical Games.

Bought the tanks but the Panzer 4 still ramains locked. Feel a little ripped off!

I so wish I hadn’t upgraded! Loved this game until now. New tanks, maps and ammo is great but all the bugs and headaches are not! On-line play has never been great (even worse now) and the new USB controller issue that I have emailed Atypical about and still haven’t received any feed back on!!!! tried re-installing etc….. Close to just deleting the app all together.
