  Even if it's one of the best tank games ever made.. It's a real pain to get it to run. You need a custom Wrapper like DXWND if you want to run the game at all. Which is, for such a price tag, not very satisfying.

  I enjoyed this game when it first came out. I was very happy to see it on Steam. Graphics are dated. However, they work and it is very playable. I have had no issues. Without a doubt, this aged game is one of the best tank simulators made.

  I've been hoping for this for years. I love this game one of my favorite of all time! No wrappers needed

  Requires you to turn off NVIDIA G SYNC every time you play. It's an old game, but it would've been nice if it was actually adapted to modern systems so that I'm not modifying my system to run it.

  A great old tank sim that's finally seeing light of day again. Even though it's nearly as old as I am, it still plays great and is reasonably intuitive once you figure out a few critical keybinds - which is easy because the manual is included. The graphics are a charming blend of chunky textured polygonal models for vehicles and terrain, and 2D sprites for effects like midair shells, flames, and explosions. You don't have to do every job all at once, unlike most tank games; you can focus on commanding your platoon, as the AI gunner is competent and even can spot his own targets with decent speed and efficiency. If you'd rather shoot than command, you can of course take over the gunner position, but it's not required. You can also override the driver's AI with your own inputs, but I personally rarely feel any desire to do so. For me, it worked correctly right out of the box using the software renderer, no further tinkering required. A few notes: - Glide mode with a Glide wrapper functions, but when the game switches back from the Glide renderer to the DirectDraw-based UI, the game crashes. This seems unavoidable and happens at the end of every mission. Don't use Glide mode. - Direct3D mode also functions, but the world is textured green, similar to how the ground textures appear through night vision. Unsure if this is something that's fixable or not; I'll do further testing and update the review with anything I discover. I'm also unsure if this crashes at the end of missions, as the green tint was distracting enough to discourage me from finishing anything in D3D mode.

  I have been waiting to play this game on current systems for a long time! I still think it is the best modern tank simulator on the market, and the dynamic campaigns are excellent.

  Be warned, this does not work out of the box on windows 11 (which is a shame as i have great memories of this game). Buy at you're own risk.

  It's probably still the best tank sim of all times. With a 161-pages manual full of interesting stuff with pictures (a real leisure reading), the good graphics (yes), the atmospheric sound effects, chatter, small cutscenes, all contribute to the sense of realism and feeling that you're in a realistic, although a bit dated, simulator, and not just playing a game. But fear not if you aren't a big fan of manuals and long tutorials - this sim is really easy to get into. I remember playing it without the luxury of having a manual when I was a kid. I was really surprised that it [b]runs fine out-of-the-box[/b], I remember it wasn't straightforward to run this game the last time I played.

  Unfortunately not worth it right now. The game itself is great and while its age shows through its graphics, the gameplay loop is as satisfying and engaging as ever. However, it's not being shipped in a great technical state as of now. You are able to run it "out of the box", but only in Software rendering mode (which downgrades the visuals significantly). Furthermore, you may encounter some glitches that'll require you to tweak compatibility settings or edit your graphics card settings manually. Meanwhile, using third party wrappers and online guides, it's very possible to run this gem through Glide rendering, with silky smooth graphics and even widescreen support. This makes it hard to recommend this Steam version, with its current technical shortcomings. Plus, at 8 bucks the price is pretty steep for a such an old game that doesn't run at its full potential... I remain hopeful the publisher will resolve these issues in time :) Once that happens, this game will definitely shine!

  Used to play this as a kid and I have no idea what I was doing besides marking waypoints that rush my units straight into enemy positions while I lase enemy armor and fire the main gun (and repeat the process), great time I had, and years later when I finally understand how I'm supposed to play this game I couldn't get it running proper on a newer PC. Now that there's an official version on Steam that's supposedly optimized for modern system so I quickly buy it, it's not as well as I thought (namely the tiny resolution of 640*480 and limited on software render mode) but using 3rd party workaround I can make it work in glide mode(not sure if the same method also work on those old copies from the 90s). This may not be ideal for some people but to me it's not too much of a hassle. Other than some technical issues the game itself runs fine, challenging gameplay, AI is decent enough that they can engage enemies fast, manual gunnery is satisfying, most of the things age like a fine wine. Overall I'm glad that I can see this classic tank sim officially again, especially considering the lack of proper tank sim on the market these days. Technical issues is there but it's not as bad as I tried to get an old copy to run on a newer system back then. The team that picked up on this game seem to be active enough to further optimize and fix this game for modern system so props to them.
