Chromius,

the conversion of SBP you ask for will not take place, never, because they are not in the gaming departement and the business goals - whose fullfillment pays for their bread and butter - get decided by a different branch of customers: and these are seated inside national defence ministries. For same reasons, they will never open their sim for modding by the community that goes beyond harmless cosmetic stuff, and scenario design. the mechanisms of the simulation's physics they always will keep their thumbs on. So, sound mods, and skin mods is all you get. there are some WWII-inspired skins, btw.

If you want a full WWII environment by visuals and models, SBP cannot help you. If you just want the manual way of fighting with tanks without any modern hightech gadgets and with those old optical sigths making your hands sweat when needing to swing the turret manually, this you can tweak SBP for. I described it in an longer essay that you can find in full in the SBP resources sticky at the top of the forum list. By doing like described there you fight a tank battle exactly the same way your forefathers did. But you will not get the cosmetic visuals of WWII.

It is difficult to fight and survive that way, btw.
