Try it out!

Well, I've heard really bad things about WoT, but thanks for suggesting it

Personally, I'll just wait until War Thunder gets tanks.

Ok....can somebody clear this up for me?

I thought World of Tanks and World of Warplanes and that stuff....isn't that just the separate pieces of War Thunder in separate games? I

World of Tanks and World of Warplanes are made by Wargaming.net. War Thunder is made by Gaijin. Same basic theory, but Wargaming.net's games aren't as realistic as War Thunder.

Tanks for all of your help. I managed to get a copy of Steel Fury: Kharkov 1942. It runs nicely on my current computer, but I am planing on possibly upgrading soon. Does SFK42 work with winows 8?

If I were you, I'd get Windows 7 instead. I haven't heard much praise for Windows 8.

Windows 8.1 64bit is very nice, I've come to really really like it, even tho I love XP more and hate to see it go. Not all games you could play on XP are playable on 8.1, and that is the biggest downfall I've seen for 8.1.

Good choice. Just started playing my copy recently and heartily enjoying it.

The NTA 1.8 mod is highly recommended, details on the Gravitram forum here:

The mission reports here showcase some of the extra stuff you get with this and the Steel Panzers Mod:

Good hunting!

Iron Front Liberation 1944 based on the Arma engine is also fantastic for its combined arms play.

If you're looking for an MMO WW2 tank experience with Western Front equipment, you may wish to check out (if you've not already) ww2 Online. Its been around since June 2002 (and the graphics show it, but that its still around and people pay to play is testament of its value).

Or you can try Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad which has some playable tanks( Panzer IV F2, T 70, T-34/42 etc) and some maps made for tank warfare.

War Thunder has mixed arm battles (tanks and planes), and is much cheaper. With tanks now out, I can say as part of the CBT, they were very fun to ride in, with the added bonus of, if you are destroyed by a tank, you can hop into an IL-10 to pay him back in kind. World Of Tanks does not do this.
