Reading the manuals for the latest Miles system it looks like it has the capability to be programmed to approximate most things for tank combat, with the exception of only being able to light a led when a tank is 'out'. It can simulate reload times, armor value to reduce hit effectiveness, ammo carried, damage done by a round, programmable sounds - settings can be saved for a custom gun type. A section on the site deals with using optics to increase the range of the ir emitter.
