closest thing to a tank sim you can find on steam, but not quite there yet. Still, highly recommand it for tank enthusiasts. This is still an early access version so it has time to improve. The simulator features I find great are the ballistics, gunner controls, ammo management, ballistic computer and preaty much everything relating to gunner. The tank does not have a crew so all the controls are on you, just like war thunder or world of tanks. At this chapter, Operation Flashpoint would be superior. The models lack the interior and the squad controls are pretty basic. It's like a baby sim. At this point, the map is just for information,can't interact with the platoon or company, can't mark or give orders. It does have a campaign made up of a bunch of scenarios put side by side and it's a playable game with lots of fun. Very wide selection of instant action scenarios and highly replayable. For those who compare the game with steel beasts, think about it made so simple that a kid could play it. The game seems to be evolving and I hope the devs won't loose interest in updateing it with the aspects that would make it a rival for steel beasts.
P.S. Commander MG doesn't work but gets in the way of binoculars. No commander periscope view.

War Thunder is doomed. Gunner, HEAT PC! is going to kill it.

Very good and extremely realistic without being all about the details you need to know how to appreciate, like Steel beasts. Personally better than WT. IG the game also has plenty of potential

What is in the game sure is a lot of fun as of this review time. It is fun from start to finish. I haven't found any slow or tedious aspects. Drive around and look for tanks to shoot.

Game balance still way too off. It's very hard to hit anything over 2km. BTR's can take out Bradleys with a few rounds, yet need at least 5 rounds themselves to have any effect. Crew survivability is weak in almost any vehicle. Most scenarios are over after 2 minutes, friendly AI can't hit anything. Very long loading times.

This could be a really fun game, but the controls are terrible. It feels like it while trying to be an accurate sim it's lost the plot on it needs to be a game first. Targets are difficult to track, the aiming makes you feel like you're drunk, and UI is just bizarre. The bones are there, though it's just not ready. This program needs be pushed a bit more into a game to make it a fun sim.

This game is realistic with how the tank crew reacts, the armor, everything, and depending on the tank you command, the difficulty spikes depending on its shell type and penetration of armored targets (Abrams are BEASTS and very well represented on their capabilities, but playing as one? Perspectives vary.). Overall, it's punishingly fresh to experience, even for those who played the old school '89 simulator.

Shell Shock Simulator

Maybe you wanted to play Steel Beasts but you had no friends
Anyway it's really good, yes. You probably wish for a multiplayer pvp but that's not their priority. Glad that they're going to add more vehicles, definitely.

war thunder but less Russian bias
