I think I will never understand why people are so obsessed with WWII tank sims if a superb and one of the best simulations in general that ever hit the market, is easily available, SBP.

Check the SBP resources sticky, there is a link to a long essay I wrote on how to set up SBP with Leopard-1 and switched off high tech so that you fight with visual sights only like they did in WWII. And if MP is what you want - one can say that SBP is OPTIMISED for MP, for that is it's original primary market with the military.

If you favour the looks of WWII, then there is npothing I can point you at what you do not already know. If you do not know SBP and have no idea what it is capable of, I can help you. It stands apart from all other tank games, and that is for a reason.

The latest version even has - although non crewable - T-55s, T-64, anmd M60s now. There are two - crewable - versions of the Leopard-1, though, one of which comes without thermal sights by default (the Australian).

Finally, there is a series of fully modelled IFVs as well. You could set up your scenarios to use them only, and also strip them off all hightech gadgets so that you must aim and gun all manually without laser, thermals, dynamic lead etc.

Check the SBP resources for the WWII essay, the links are there.

Edit:

Bah, here it is:
