I liked those games, but they never quite scratched the itch, if you know what I mean. Once you finished the (short) campaigns, you didn't have much else to do. And IIRC, T34 vs Tiger's publisher went belly-up.

I guess what I'm looking for in a WWII tank sim is something like a modern successor to Panzer Elite. I haven't found it.

Now that I think about it, my new computer (a non-laptop!) can run Steel Beasts Pro PE...

I still have M1 Tank Platoon 2 which I installed a while back on win xp and it ran. Wow I thought as I jumped straight in and then I thought

"Seriously, I don't remember it looking this bad 20 years ago" (#%&*$# is it that long?)

I'd love a modern tank sim, multiplayer and a DC - I loved M1 Tank Platoon.

Jex,this is the problem with loading up games we used to play many years ago.

If you can look past the graphics,a lot of these old games are much better than a lot of modern offerings.
I was still playing the original M1 Tank Platoon up until a few months ago.

Are you using a glide wrapper? That 3Dfx mode looks FAR better than software/D3D.

No, it isn't. M1TP2 was released 1999, so it's twelve years now (hope that helps to make you feel better).
