WWII Tank Sims

[OrangeFr3ak92 0]

War Thunder and World of Tanks have some of the largest selection of WWII tanks in games but these aren't really sims per se. Which other sims have a similar choice of tanks? I'm particularly interested in Soviet tanks like the BT-7, KV-1/2, IS-2M/3, ISU-122/152, SU-85/100/122/152, T-70 and T-34-76/-85. Does Panzer Elite include them?

I think you may have had this question answered already on another forum, but the Ostpak mod that came with Panzer Elite Special Edition will have most ot all of the above vehicles. What there are, will also be included in PE3, a newer mod which combines many of the PESE mods and their updates with a version of the modified .exe which introduced inter alia realistic ballistic trajectories:

Naturally, Steel Fury- Kharkov 1942 is a must-have for Soviet WW2 tanking. While the original release had a limited tankset in keeping with its limited scope, modders have vastly improved this, including a large increase in playable AFVs (tho many lack 3-d interiors, they all have good exteriors, gunsight/vision port views, and hatch open views).

 

 

 

Though most only feature as playable in single missions rather than campaigns, the range of playable soviet (and indeed, German) AFVs is one of the outstanding features of modded SF. Just some of the Soviet vehicles available in the STA mod are illustrated here:

...plus, there's plenty of towed guns, some softskins and infantry, not playable though, including these and many other Soviet & German examples:

 

 

 

 

 

 

SF also features artillery support and air support for both sides, tho it is scriped not player-controlled, both seen in action here from the German side:

 

 

 

Longer term, SF's developers Graviteam plan downloadable content for their Cold War tanksim, Steel Armor - Blaze of War. I would be surprised if WW2 and Eastern Front content did not feature in their plans and the quality will be excellent, if their finely-modelled T-62 is anything to go by:
