Can anyone recommend a decent tank sim? I'm not looking for multi-player or online or freeware. Something akin to FS maybe. And I don't want something where I have to go through infantry stages before I can get in a tank. I just want a plain and simple WWII style tank sim.

World of Tanks is the only one I know of, but that is in multiplayer beta. I don't know if it will have a single player campaign.

t34 vs tiger
Achtung Panzer

there a few to name them but one the stands out thats a full tank sim modern day and all call steel beasts but thats a whopping $125 so yeah :P

but there all good

Thanks. :) That one was the reason for stating I was not looking for multi-player or online. Guess I should have added beta too.  ;D

I saw the T34 vs. Tiger and put it as a possible, though it's not exactly what I would like. But $125 or more than double what I was thinking of spending.

yeah its very expensive but its meant to be good though :) i know 2 people who have it and love it but yeah.

T34 v Tiger well hmm i dont personaly like it but the publisher went bust so really the only way you can get it is torrent :|

Thanks Leigh, but I don't do torrent. Don't like it. Oh well, it was not high priority anyway, I've just wanted a tank sim for a while and thought I'd ask.

Armed Assault is a great tank sim, you can hop into the commander/gunner/loader/driver positions and operate it from there if you like, this is a good vid but he's turned down the battle and engine sounds, the game is much better..:)

World of Tanks is out. I have been playing it for a year now, it is no sim, but if you like tanks it is a ton of fun. Especially when you get to the big gun tanks. I just wasted some enemy heavies with the 105 on my Jagdpanther  8-)

I would say give World of Tanks (WoT) a try, it is completely free, has simple controls, sometimes annoying grinds for upgrades, and a steep learning curve that rewards  intelligent playing. It is no Call of Duty or Battlefield crap.

Call of duty is only good if you're not smart. ;D
I play it at a friend and I suck; 13 deaths,2 kills is my average. ;D

Old post I guess.. ::) but I,m downloading World of tanks. I'm getting incredibly slow speeds. (But hey it's free!)
I may have to put this download in my Will and Testament, 20 minutes to get 1%.  :)   

STEEL FURY is another tank sim I'd reccomend, it's WW2 Russian Front-
