Simulators are pretty much the only games I play anymore. Post simulators - the more realistic the better. Just got FSX the other day.

Do these count as sim games?

I made a thread the other day on these games actually but it got deleted for some reason.

To better explain these games, Graviteam Tactics is a series produced by backwater Ukrainian developers of the same name. They used to make decent tank sims before. There is also a third title called 'Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943' that is actually just like their Graviteam titles but set in North Africa.

These games are described as battalion level simulators, and have an emphasis on macro management and larger scale tactics in real time battles. Instead of specifically ordering troops where you want them to go, you give them broad and open ended orders and these are completed as are seen fit. It also features a turn based strategy campaign element, and just recently they added their first winter campaign for Mius Front. Campaigns for the game are released as "operations", which are sold on a DLC model. But you can pirate everything up-to-date for the games nowadays easily.

Combat Mission is a much more longer spanning game series, their first title Beyond Overlord back in 2000. While still battalion level size focused, it puts more emphasis on the company and platoon side of things. It focuses a lot more on micro management and role treatment of troops and vehicles. It also doesn't have the turn based strategic campaigns that are featured in Graviteam but stock standard briefings and scenarios. Though to make up for it, it comes with a pretty robust scenario editor and allows you to make entire campaigns yourself and also gives players the ability to play both real time and turn based "WEGO" battles, and multiplayer over TCP/IP, hotseat and PBEM.

The devs of Combat Mission don't publish their games on Steam, and charge money for literally fucking everything, including updates to the game engine. There is a literal $5 patch to make the older CB: Back to Barbarossa compatible with Windows Vista.

The video is some old guy doing analysis videos of his battles in WEGO. I found it actually entertaining.

God all I want is an RX-7 and an S13 silvia but nobody makes mods for BeamNG and the mods that do exist are just rigid low quality ports from other games.

At least someone is working on an AE86

Steel Armor blaze of war is a sim game, neither of these are sim games because neither of these allow the player to directly control the vehicles.

I get that they're good games and you like them anon, but cmon.

Any Combat Mission passed Afrika Korps is gay and you should kys if you haven't played the originals. Independent infantry units was clearly a mistake.

Combat Mission also doesn't have an actual AI. The "AI" they use is completely scripted by the scenario creator so if you played scenario once you know what to expect the next time you play it. It's much more suited for multiplayer.

I've seen people compare CB to tabletop wargames, but how aren't the GT games simulators? A game doesn't need the player to control a specific vehicle and manage all entities and aspects of the vehicle just for it to be a simulator.

The only way flight simulators are fun is if you have peripherals. The more you have, the better. A joystick and rudder pedals are the absolute minimum; and if you only have a keyboard and mouse, don't even bother.

I just wish I were still a NEET so I could go back to building my own like I used to.

Combat Mission is one of those "A retarded monkey designed the controls" kind of games, like Gothic

Let's say I want to learn to fly a fixed-wing aircraft for real. I can't afford it. But I will someday.

What simulator is the best for learning the most general fundamentals of flight so when I finally get lessons I can hit the ground running with an accrued knowledge base?

One of the best boring games I've ever played.

The UH-1H Huey module for DCS is so satisfyingly autistic that I can't stop thinking about it. From flipping the right switches during takeoff to modeling each phase of flight to an extreme level it's about as accurate as you can get on a PC. Check it out

I feel the same way about the F-5E and Mirage 2000C. The start up procedures are so streamlined and methodical for me it's satisfying. It's the same kind of joy I got from playing the first Steel-Battalion.

BeamNG is pretty good.

It counts as a Sim, right?
