Well World of Tanks animated me to search for a good tank game, of course something on a higher level so a real tank sim not this WoT shooter level.
Searching around I don't see much, the latest seems to be T-34 vs. Tiger, is there nothing else?

The number of potential customers is too limited, so the developer's focus has been on single player simulations. The masses seem to only want eye candy and fast/easy play.

GraviTeam's work on WW2 tank sims is the most current. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/forums/238/1/Graviteam_Sims.html .

RO and RO2, but I have stayed a way from that game engine for my own reasons.

There are some indy mods of other game engines, but the length of development depends on the amount of man hours they have available. Hopefully others will tell you which game mods to check out.

I am now under a 5 year NDA with Nordic Games for the Panzer Elite game code, so I can only hobby code unless a serious team could be created to do a commercial product combining PEA, PESE and PEx.

Digging further the the Tank sim pool I see that a lot mention Panzer Eite Gold but an over 10 year old game is simply too old.
The rest seems to center on GraviTeams "Steel Fury Kharkov 1942" but what about there Achtung Panzer series?
I don't look thru how many there are besides "Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943" I see "Achtung Panzer: Operation Star" and some add-ons for that but there seem to be another title http://www.graviteam.com/games/178.html .

For an old game Panzer Elite looks pretty reasonable, with heaps of game play.



PE is still my favorite tank sim and the PEDG guys have done so much to improve the ole girl.

Indeed that looks better that some videos I saw.
Is there a total mod? Seems like a bunch a smaller mods would be needed to form this improvement.

Here is a good start for you Duke.

http://home.comcast.net/~ab707/pex/

http://pedg.yuku.com/topic/2144/Patch-candidate-1-01

and I am sure Brit44 Aldo will add more info as needed.

The Panther screen shot is from the new Breakout map and missions by slomo and the screen shot is using the new extended view distance created by Brit44 Aldo.

A very nice mission to play from both sides and a real challenge as the Allies.

Wow, that looks totally different than my PE. Time to try out this mod.

Steel Fury is the only contemporary WWII tank sim worth buying. Operation Star is good but it is a RTS wargame and not a tank sim.

For SP Panzer Elite PEX is really great a wonderful job by Slomo and Aldo44 and Steel Fury with tons of new models, mods and new missions.

There's also Iron Front liberation 1944 made with the Arma 2 engine.Loook it up in this forum in the Arma 2 threads.

Otherwise very little WW2 content except for R.O. and R.O.2 and BF2 with WW2 mods

Murkz likes to post images which are a best of because he is either beta testing and/or knows enough to apply the game engine changes to his install. No offence Murkz, just trying to make it clear about the image you posted.

PEx release 1.0 has few graphical improvements to the 3D tank models. There are a few to show what can be done. To the best of my knowledge, Solmo is working on updating PP2 (the project shown by Murkz), and I assume BobR is continuing to work on updating PE3.

Best place to ask about PEx is http://www.pedg.yuku.com/ or PM me through SimHQ if I miss something.

How is T-34 vs. Tiger compared to Steel Fury?

I'm running SF now with the SPM mod and it looks very good, you don't see that the game is already 4 years old, performance worries me as I had framerates under 20 but I new graphic card is already planned for the summer.

Are there mods that pimp TvT in a similar way?
