Tank: M1A1 Abrams Battle Simulation

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

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.

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…

It might be crap by todays standards but this was an immersive sim when it came out!

I've Been Playin This Game Since Yesterday Its So UnderRated. Its a Fun And Good Game Too Sad Only Has Not A Manual Thats Because Its a Dos And Maybe A NetGame And Did Not Ported To PC Properly. I Went To The Game And Was Dumb Like Anyone Else Didnt Know Even How To Drive A Tank And I Thought It Was Strategy Game Only Then I Saw People Gameplay And Things Changed. And I Went to See The Controls In Comunity In Steam Thankfuly They Helped Me a Ton And Now I Enjoy Every Second Of It. Because Thats What a Simulator Should Be. To Simulate Abrams Tank. A Recomendation For u Guys Always Play In Night. Because M1 Has Thermal And Soviet Tanks Like T-80 & T-72 Refering in game Content They Lack Of it. LOL. And Also Stack Ur Ammo Only On HEAT Dont Even Bother Using Sabot Soviet Tanks Are Weak Armor Even The T-80 Is Weak To Mighty Abrams HEAT BRother!!!! HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE!!! Unless ITS T-90

It was great in the mid 90s and still great now. Certainly times have changed software and tech wise, but still fun and brings back pleasant memories of my childhood.
