TankSim!

Well, there is currently no big choice anyway. The only sim still supported and officially sold, is SBP. As smile price- or second hand-buys you can get TvT, and SF. M1TP2 does not run on most modern OS, and is hopelessly overaged. There is no argument for getting SB1, except the maybe low price you have to pay, but damn - it looks old and it is old. And then there was Panzer III, very good at its time, but again: hopelessly overaged today, no longer recommendable.

Think about what features and qualities you want, and then chose between SBP-PE and Zeewolf's TvT mod. Better ignore SF, it had some flaws that made me really shreddering it, so I will not recommend it. Timeframe is an obvious criterion, then online play, realism, tactical challenge, longtime motivation/replayability value.

Most likely, the question whether or not it must be WWII graphics is what will decide it for you. It has been the important question for many people coming here and asking for tank titles in the past. But consider the other points as well.
