$125 per copy for a game? If I want to get killed playing a sim game I'll just up a P40b and fly a few minutes

Eagle Eye sounds like mrblack.

Game reviews remind me of the old M1 Tank Platoon games... which I always loved :) . Is it the same sort of thing?

Is that the fulda gap video?

Are they ever going to add 2a5s 2a6s or strv122s.. well any of the kickass modern tanks?

Are 3rd party mods allowed ?

BTW, how realistic is it? I saw in the video a leo 1a4 getting it's turret blown off. Thats pretty remarkable. I mean no WP tank gun could do that, that turret weighs ALOT. And IIRC the 1a4 had blow off panels over the ammo compartment, meaning that an internal ammo explosion could never produce enough pressure to even dislodge the turret, let alone throw it in the air.

I've seen a video of a M1 Abrams getting its turret blown off, so its somehow possible.  But this was by an IED made of 2x155mm shells.

They are going to have the STRV122 and the CV9040 and some of it's variants in the next update.

The Leopard2A5 is already in the sim, it is called the Leopard 2A5DK.

With third party mods, only for skins and sound.

Well, the military uses it, so it has to be fairly realistic. With the blow off panels, ask on tank-net.org, they would know more than I do as regards that. With the WP tank ammunition, the newer stuff can surely penetrate an Abrams, so a penetration on a Leopard 1 should be expected.

IIRC I saw M1 with turret blown from ammo cooking off (not IED). I think that door malfunctioned….but I'm not an experert either.
