Fixing K'43...Why so pro-Axis?

[Elxaime]

In fairness, I suppose K43 would be very difficult to model accurately and still be fun for both sides. Although the German plan was not ambitious by past standards, it was one of the most telegraphed punches in military history. The Soviets had months to prepare. As a result, it was more like WW1 than WW2. The northern German attack was defeated relatively quickly. The southern prong kept at it for longer, but even though it succeeded in drawing in some of the Soviet armored reserves, there was never a serious open field breakthrough. And once they determined the German attacks were spent, the Soviets had enough strength sitting around to launch offensives of their own.
