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.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

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.

Thanks.

That one was the reason for stating I was not looking for multi-player or online. Guess I should have added beta too. Grin

Thanks Leigh.

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.

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 Cool

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.

I play it at a friend and I suck; 13 deaths,2 kills is my average. Grin

Old post I guess.. Roll Eyes

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%.

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..
