Differences between iPad and PC versions?

Post by aster »

Hey all, pretty excited to hear this has been released for iOS! But just a quick question...

I recently bought Panzer Corps for the iPad, and while overall it's an enjoyable port there were a number of features left out compared to the PC version - some were very minor, others fairly large, but the kicker for me was the fact that these were not made known pre-purchase. It was essentially a "buyer-beware" situation where I wasted time struggling to find features referenced in the manual that actually just didn't exist in my version (to say nothing of helpful rules documentation inexplicably missing from the iPad version too). Though I enjoy the game it left somewhat of a bad taste considering it was identically priced to the PC version (the total lack of modding ability alone should have been a discount).

So I wanted to get a list - from developers or players themselves - of what features are different or missing from CTGW before purchasing. I'll still probably buy it regardless, but after feeling a little burned I'd like to go into this one better informed ;)

Thanks in advance.

Difference between iOS and PC version:

- iOS misses the intro trailer movie

That is it, rest is exactly identical.


P.S. Those last few missing PzC features for the iPad will still be added in future update, same for the CTGW Intro movie...

There's no button to cycle through unmoved units on iPad. You have to manually look around to find units you might have missed. Not a big thing, but it is a difference.
