Multiple views from inside the tank, the authentic weapons systems and instrumentation, plus the spectacular graphics and rolling terrain combine to provide realism at its best. The fifteen challenging missions will satisfy even the most avid tankers. Call for reconnaissance planes and ground support when you encounter perilous situations as the Soviets send their best T-80 tanks, artillery and Frogfoot aircraft to halt your offensive. It's a fight to the finish. To the victor go the spoils!

It might be crap by todays standards but this was an immersive sim when it came out!
This is an old DOS game originally from 1989. It was apparently improved and re-released in 1993. You will need the manual for this one: http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.882. If you didn't own this game years ago, you likely will get nothing out of it, which is why I can't recommend it. I only bought it because it was the first computer game my dad bought for the first computer we had in our house in '98 or '99 and it was on sale here on Steam for $1. I actually just found it a couple weeks ago after being reminded of it talking with my parents one day, so it's a nostalgia purchase for sure. I don't think it's worth $6.99. It doesn't even come with the manual. COME ON, STEAM!!! By the way, the manual was added onto in 1993 and so the "Supplemental" part corrects and adds some info to the pages before it, like keybindings. In particular, see below about the Auto-Driver and Auto-Gunner toggles.
That said, this is a Tank simulator and honestly I think it's an impressive DOS game for the era. There's multiple layers and complexity here. You can be the commander and control all the tank platoons on your command, send out aircraft for reconnaissance and in a few missions, use artillery. There's 15 or so missions and 3 difficulty levels. You can also take command of any tank under your command and jump in the role of the driver, gunner, or commander using the function keys. The tanks all have Auto-Driver turned on, so you have to press Alt+D to toggle it off. You can set a path for the auto-driver and even when it's on and doesn't let you steer, you can still control the speed. You can turn off auto-gunner and aim and shoot yourself. Even with it on, you can toggle between sabot or H.E.A.T. rounds for them. Any tanks you are not in are automatically controlled by AI. The game is in 3D, or pseudo 3D that seems impressive for the year and size of the game (less than 900 KB!) but it's just flat planes, no texturing (DOS's 16 colors only). Still, there's some basic vehicular physics here like your tank slows down going up hills. It's on par with other games that came out around the time like Hard Drivin' for the Sega Genesis.
All in all, if you had this game in the past and want a trip down memory lane, it's worth a purchase but only if it's on sale for dirt cheap. Download a copy of the manual and spend some time studying it. I'm not sure what modern tank simulators are out there, but I'd have more fun playing MechWarrior. I really only got this because it was on sale for $1 and I had just been talking about it in my family a couple weeks ago as a memory.
Oh and because it's running with DOSBox, you could, if you're creative, customize the keybinding to suite your needs. There's also a joystick option but I did not try it. It does not utilize a mouse.
I owned this back in the day when it was brand-spanking new and I spent countless hours playing it. For the era it was released in, and the charmingly Low-Fi VGA graphics of the time, there's a huge amount of nostalgic fun to be had. Classic, early 90's hypothetical NATO / Warsaw Pact conflicts with strategic options like recon helicopters, artillery bombardments, and the deployment of the fearsome A-10 Tank-Killer. Too cheap to not get if you love that classic, DOS military gaming experience.
Although Microprose's M1 Tank Platoon is more well known from the era that this game came out in -1989, Tank is probably a more realistic simulation. This game is like a very early Steel Beasts, and even has recon drones. A lot of strategic and tactical options and enemy units positions are not always the same every time. The animations for gun fire and hitting tanks are great - can take a number hits to kill a tank and see its turret fly off.
M1 Tank Platoon is a fantastic game but so is this one - very underrated

So... why don't you own it yet? It's awesome! You can control up to 4 platoons of tanks, (up to 16 tanks) and unlike the name would imply, you not only control M1A1's, but also M1 and M1A2 Abrmas tanks, (of course the only real difference is the gun) and the game gives you the ability to swap between the gunner, driver, and commander at will. You can also use CAS and Artillery strikes to neutralize the enemy if you want to be more passive with your tanks. There are 3 theaters for you to fight in, Fort Knox, Central Europe, and The Middle East, all with their own set of missions. (you can swap between theaters by pressing the "Fort Knox" icon in the main menu, pressing it will cycle through the theaters.) Overall the game is easy to pick up and play once you know the controls, and the enemy AI at its lowest difficulty is very forgiving, making this game very friendly to beginners. My only gripe is the graphics are horrible. I mean really bad. But thats something that comes with the age of the game, and it really doesn't detract from the experience. Super fun with a joystick as well. (little tip, use low joystick sensitivity)
9\10 terrible visuals, wonderful game.
This game is worth 1 dollar.
TANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Game is an oldie but a goodie, command tanks, destroy other tanks from an RTS style of mechanics and over view though you can go into a tank itself and wreck some havoc! And if you're like me, you might even "accidentally" destroy your own tanks just for the hell of it. Ignore my low time spent on this game. I have played this years before I found this on here. I can no longer run my original copy of this game on new computers but this one works! (Sort of).
