eSim Games, the makers of Steel Beasts, started out with an extremely small team and only two 2D tank interiors. (Might have only been one, I can't remember.)


Now, they are still a relatively tiny company, but there is something like 75 or more vehicles with 3D interiors in SB. And more that can be controlled from an exterior view. Granted: many of those are variants of the same vehicles, but there are usually at least some minor differences in the models.


Also granted: it's been 20 years since the first version of SB. But that's almost 4 new vehicles per year, every year. And it's still a great sim. Anyway, my point is that small teams can indeed produce a large variety of high fidelity vehicles for a sim. And eSim doesn't even allow model mods - only textures and sounds.
