Panzer Elite was released in 1999. Already the first Steel Beasts ten years ago was superior to it. I know PE, I still have the CD somewhere, and back then, eleven years ago, it was one of the top titles of the tank genre ever released. But it is not competitive today anymore. Let's not confuse newbies to the tank genre with titles which are hopelessly outdated nowadays. Else we end up recommending even Conqueror ( ) for the Acorn Archimedes and Amiga. Not that Conqueror was not a superb game - for 1988.

I still remember the terrible, harsh shaking of the perspective when looking out of the turret with the tank moving. It made you almost seasick.
