Tank Sim with best Map Editor

[danzig70]

I have the itch to try a tank sim after SH3 and various flight sims. I like to make the maps as accurate as possible and was wondering which game in people's experience has the best map editor.

Also, I dont know if The Combat Mission or TOW series are tank sims but if there are any opinions on these it would be appreciated.

Ideally Im looking for a tank sim with good interior view, mod-able, with a map editor.

I like Steel Beasts Pro PE but am looking for a WW2 theatre right now.

Any opinions are appreciated.

Combat Missions , Theatre of War are RTS more than sims.You aldso have Soldiers Heroes of WWII, Men of War, the Panzer Command series in the same vein.I am not sure how easy the editors are but I think they are approachable.

For the bets and easiest map and mission editor I would say go for Steel Fury which has a failry user-friendly map and mission editor.Otherwise there's Panzer Elite but it's a bit dated as a sim.TvsT's editor is a mystery wrapped in a labyrinth.The others sims like Red Orchestra ; Arma II's i44 mods are first person shooters not tank sims.

Well to be fair, games like Combat Mission, Theatre of War and I think Panzer Command attempt to depict real-life units and historical scenarios, so they might be considered as historical wargames. I hope this doesn't sound like splitting hairs

Hi Danzig,

If I may be so bold as to suggest T34 vs Tiger as ticking all the boxes you require.

It has excellent tank interiors and a rather good editor. We are a group that are working on the MMP mod for TvT.

Please get in touch as we have lots of things map wise going on at the moment.
