Hi, I'm usually an air combat guy or SH3, but was looking to try a tank sim. Can anyone recommend any? Modern or WWII is fine. Looks like steel beasts Pro and the new t-34 vs tiger are two.

I'd suggest you check out the SimHQ reviews on both. Plus Steel Fury, if you are looking for an offline title. I'd suggest you get all three. The genre is not that crowded.

Modern= Steel Beasts Pro
WWII offline= Steel Fury
WWII online= TvsT

Thanks, i'll check those out. I'm more into the offline games. Didn't know tvst is online only.

T vs. T is not online only. I've only played it offline. What he means by "online" is that it has online capability unlike Steel Fury. And T vs. T does not have very many single player missions, so many people consider it primarily an online sim. But it's really both SP and MP.

thx again, i see there is a steel beasts pro PE. Is that different from steel beasts pro?

I think they mean the same game. All you need to know is this: T v. T and Steel Fury = $40-$50. Steel Beasts Pro PE = $125. If you have the cash, do what you want. Otherwise...

I believe the PE version is for civilians - commercial release that takes out some of the mil specific features used in training.

thx again.

what about system specs? I have the min system specs, but i'm thinking i'm gonna be hurtin based on the reviews. Anyone know of anybody playing steel fury with specs below?

Game runs pretty smooth, no hangs or stutters. All options set a little above what the game recomended. During heavy action FPS stays around 20-25. Hope this helped. If you get SF make sure to get the unoffical patch it helps a lot
