Very detailed armored warfare simulator. Despite poor graphics, its definitely the world most realistic tank simulator and that is why armies around the world use it as a learning tool. + Very detailed tanks and other armoured vehicles + Planning phase during the battle is easy to use + Hard-core simulator for true fans of battle realism + Manual that carefully explains not only how the game functions, but why. You can actually learn how real tanks works. + Multiplayer is a best part of this simulator - Graphics - It's very hard to learn. - Some big battles may last very long time (7-8 hours). - Sometimes controlling the battle on the map take most of your time. Then it's more like a wargame not a tanksimulator. - Very expensive.

I long avoided this because everyone made it sound like it's extremly complex and time consuming. (like the DCS Games for instance) And i don't have that much time and patience available any more these days. But i guess tanks are just simpler machines than aircraft. I finally tried it out with the time limited 1 month license (like 10 Euro or something). Within two days i had a gunnery score of 100%, was commanding two tank platoons with mechanized infantry attached, and blowing up t-80s at 1.8 kilometers distance. Yeah it sure *is* hard to survive an engagement, but the basics are easy to learn, and it's great fun if you're looking for a good battlefield atmosphere and some realism. The included scenarios can be overwhelming, but simple yet believable engagements can be set up, and tailored to your taste in the included editor. And it doesn't require a degree in rocket physics (like the Arma Editor). This might be a military training tool. But it's also one heck of a fun game if you can spend just two days to get into it. I'd recommend it. Oh, and it runs great on my Surface Pro2 Win 8.1 Tablet with an Xbox Controller attached. So mobile tanking here i come :-)

If you have a hundred bucks to throw away on a sim/kinda game, this title is a â
