If anyone likes Company of Heroes, then you should try out Men of War...

It's hard to describe, but it's a WWII RTS with semi-realistic armor handling (angle, penetration, ricochet, internal parts, etc)   that lets you crash into, smash through, and blow up any object in the game. 

In some battles, you're controlling hundreds of guys in sheer insanity, and in others, you're using a few guys to play Grand Theft Panzer and infiltrate a base... yeah, every man, truck, tank, and plane has an inventory and you can steal anything not nailed down.

On top of that, the game has a direct control mode that lets you move units with the arrow keys and fire with the mouse!  It's awesome.  :devil

Here's a trailer that pretty much sums it up (it's for the last game, Faces of War, which is the same thing):

The only thing I've been playing other than Aces High is Battlefield 1942, and I play that about 1/1000th as much as Aces High.

The CoD series really isn't a sim, but they are really fun to play! Even the early ones!

Red Orchestra is one of the best out there for land combat. Don't forget to download the mods for it too (Darkest Hour and Mare Norstrum). Mare Norstrum isn't as popular as it used to be, but there are still some who play it. Darkest Hour is still in open beta though, and still needs a bit more work but is good overall.
