Vacillator Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Last I heard was the date below, but I imagine that was just @BFCElvis deflecting the question (and who would blame him?): On 9/6/2020 at 5:37 PM, BFCElvis said: Sure.

I didn't ask for an exact release date, just an update on the progress and an expected period of release. Steve announced that the module will definitely be released this year, so answering my question shouldn't be too hard. Telling us that work on the scenarios and campaigns is progressing is hardly information in my opinion. But hey, a new ww2 tank sim has appeared, called Tank Crew, that will keep us busy this winter.

Fair enough, I do see your point of view. Yes, thanks for the reminder about Tank Crew. Saw it a while ago and forgot about it, but I like the old Il2 stuff and this tank 'version' looks good. As for other good tanks sims, these was T34 vs Tiger to which Tank Crew looks quite similar, but the publisher didn't last long. Also there were some decent mods to Steel Fury which added lots of tanks to the base game. Anyway might have to dust off my TrackIR for Tank Crew - I assume its supported like in the flight sims, it seems to be in some of the videos. Has anyone on here tried Tank Crew? Perhaps a separate thread is required... Edited November 25, 2020 by Vacilllator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have tried Tank Crew, you get detailed tank models, can man different crew stations and it can be played in VR. It is cool to play. note however that it has a totally different focus than CM, there is no infantry, artillery, support units, other vehicles like you have in CM, so you can’t model actual combined arms battles as in CM, just tank vs tank combat.

Yes, it is a diferent game, but as Bulletpoint pointed out, this is the first decent WW2 tank sim ever. Lot of tank sims, but all buggy and abandoned after a while. These guys however will finish what they start and will probably add lots of new features, tanks, maps etc. Edited November 25, 2020 by Aragorn2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Who needs pesky infantry trying to knock you out as well as enemy tanks and planes anyway . I would have thought AT guns could be included more easily if they aren't already?

And it looks like a damned good one. To support them I'm going to buy it. I'm pretty sure this game will become a classic. And it does contain planes, I've noticed.

Nothing can compare to CM in complexity and completness, that's for sure. But Tank Crew looks like an excellent addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been playing Tank Crew since it was in pre release, and it does have AT guns, artillery pieces, (you can't call for fire though), HT mounted infantry, MGs, 2 campaigns, (Kursk from both sides) that have 10 missions apiece, and air support. It's the best WWII tank sim since Panzer Elite IMHO. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Together with Panzer Commander it was great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
