Any suggestions for a good computer tank battle game? They were brought up a while back, but I can't find the thread...

I posted yesterday or so in the War Room. You can download a demo of T34 vs Tiger, it's due for release later this year. Pretty cool game

if you like stratergy then sudden strike 2 is ok lead a big panzer army its a older game now would be cheap to buy and i like online play although its hard to get a game online unless you live in germany

Personally, if you're into WWII, I'd get good ol Battlefield 1942. It's about 5 years old now but it should run very smooth (with all the graphics turned up) on a newer PC. You can get it and the expansions (Road to Rome and Secret Weapons) for about $20 now. There are also some fan mods (like "Forgotten Hope") that make it even more realistic.

There's even an old WWI mod that's pretty fun to play.

Anyhow... that's my pic if you want to jump into Tanks, Planes, Ships, etc.

I'd been playing Forgotten Hope 2, which is a WWII Desert warfare mod for Battlefield 2. It looks great, heres some ingame shots using the F-2

Hmm.... I would have to say that PANZER ELITE was a good game, back in the day. Doesnt run very good on newer PC's though and finding it could be rough. Sudden Strike II was a cool game but more a RTS as opposed to a SIMULATION.

This one looks promising though.

I have to second ANZAC's recommendation. RO-Ost Front is a very good multi-player game, especially with all the Germans & Russians that get online to play.

Haven't tried the Battlefield '42 WWI mod, though. Have to check that out, but I'd be afraid of falling into a trench & then getting gassed!

my favourite is the operation flash point gold edition came out in 2003. I am still [playing it with net working. Best about this game is you can create your own army groups..up to 200 man or more -untill cpu crash. I playe dwith friends and we both have 120 men on each side. Who ever gets the highest kill or survied is the winner.
The mission editing program is part of the game, you are able to create your army groups over a size of 100kmX100km maps. thats huge..so far with the new games, I have not found one can match this freedomness.

These days, with cpu 5600. its a beatuty for this massive battle field effects, imagine you have 120 plus men running up the beach beside you attcking enemies on the other side-upper hill. Its awesome

I think for a tank orientated strategy game "Battle of the Bulge 1944" is the best game!!!!

Wow! Thanks for all the replies. I'm running Windows Vista now and my old games don't work. A lot of good suggestions - hopefully some will work.

Thanks
Ernie

Run them in compatibility mode (right click the exe, goto properties/compatibility and choose which operating system you wish the game to think you're running)

Thanks Wacky... didn't know that you could do that. I like Vista so far, but in some ways it's like starting over... such as compatability mode.

Wacky is an IT expert...do not underestimate his ability

Hi. Please, try the game Faces of War, from Ubisoft. It is a real time strategy when you are able to enter and use vehicles (tanks, cars,etc..) and play at any side of WWII. Tanks included: Panther, PIV, T34-85, Sherman, Churchill and others.
Thanks,

I second Company of Heroes, fun RTS WWII game.

If you have a Playstation, Playstation 2 or emulator thereof, then I heartily recomment Panzer Front - there are free games, Panzer Front, Panzer Front Bis (an improved version with excellent voice acting and even some Japanese missions, but it was never localized outside Japan) and Panzer Front Ausf. B for the PS2 (will also run on PS3).

They are the most fun and technically realistic tank games I have ever played - they are 'simulations', not just point and shoot affairs. All the tanks (even camo schemes and markings) are spot on. You can even drive a Maus

Panzer Front in PS1 was the first Tank game I got hooked on and brought me
to like tanks long before I started models & RC. Finished the game 3 times,
especially like the Kursk & Stalingrad missions.

I'm surprised the Combat Mission series haven't been mentioned. Althought more a combined forces and strategic game they're still one of my favourites. They may not be as pretty graphicly but attention to historical detail is excellent.
