There really aren't many actual tank simulators in existence on PC anymore. Flight simulators and even space simulators seem to be making quite the comeback, as are racing simulators, but not an actual down to the tracks, dirty, oily tank simulator. M4 Tank Brigade Classic hopes to fix that, and it just hit Early Access on Steam.

M4 Tank Brigade lets you be in tight control of WWII era tanks.

　　M4 Tank Brigade lets you command multiple armored vehicles from the WWII era in real time, with combat that takes place on battlefields that spread over hundreds of square miles. Tank commanders control their own platoon (four tanks) and up to a full battlegroup of 20 vehicles total. All of that while coordinating both air and artillery support. In a split second, players can jump into any vehicle they control in order to stem the tide of battle.

　　If you ever played Steel Beasts, or are otherwise a tank or WWII fanatic, than this realistic representation of armored combat might be for you. The wonderful thing about extreme simulators such as this one is that though they require time and energy to learn and truly become good at, they can also be incredibly rewarding in the end.

Some of the key features you'll find in M4 Tank Brigade:
