Yeah, I have been hoping it will get better but apparently not. I could forgive the absence of a lot of mil-sim features you mention but the low-grade — or non-existent — tactical squad AI makes this play like the Keystone Kops with tanks. I do. It believe the devs have any real ambition, or possibly the resources, to make this any better. As for SB Pro, I was a Beta tester many, many years ago and made scenarios for it that were published with the sim. It’s a fantastic product with a superb mission editor. It must be twenty years old now but worth the money if you want a hardcore tactical tank sim that you will probably play for the next twenty years!

Thanks for the review. It’s definitely not for me. The lack of crew positions, no realistic modelled working interiors, no tac-map, no pre-engagement tac-prep and no lengthy battles tells me all I need to know. I’m looking at paying out for a SB Pro licence as there is really nothing on the market for tank simulation.

Thoughtful and helpful review as ever but with one important omission: the AI is in a terrible state. There is simply no implementation of tactical AI on the player’s side and the non-commandable buddy AI is so brain-dead that the player has to work around it, if not get defeated by it. I bought this game and don’t regret it but it’s little more than a tank-borne shooting gallery right now and desperately needs workable tac-AI.

Hello, Barry. Thanks for the comment. I mentioned how the AI is sub-par, it even gets stuck in the terrain. Yes, it’s a showcase for things to come. Promise? Yes. Os it there? Of course not.
