I'd like to buy a tank sim but I don't know any really, I don't want to pay too much and I think I'd prefer ww2 tanks but I'm not too fussy, can anybody steer me in the right direction?
Play World of Tanks for free. Plenty of WWII tanks in there. It's not a sim, but it's the best and most popular tank game out right now: http://worldoftanks.com/
I picked up Panzer Elite from GOG.COM for $5.99 and am having an enjoyable time with it. The graphics are a bit dated but the sim will run at modern resolutions. Also the purchase comes with 450 mb of mods that include graphical enhancements, campaigns etc
