And wait till you crest a ridge and cast your eyes on the ancient pillars of Stonehenge! Where are we, Toto? Share the fun with a friend-TC offers modem play and network play for up to four players, although I have never tried this feature out." All in all, a commendable effort that does not quite live up to the standards M1 Tank Platoon, but is fun and quite innovative for its time.ĭownload full game now: Download (25000kB) The programmers of Tank Commander display some novelty when they include drones and helicopter surveillance. Nothing can substitute for the echoing boom of the main cannon that M1 Tank Platoon 2 offers.
Completing an objective is gratifying and you can get hooked playing this sim even though it ain't pretty. During the mission, small video inserts of your crew members will appear in the upper right-hand corner to advice and alert you. And the difficulty level increases as you progress through the missions. No matter how arcadish, Tank Commander presses a mean attack. individual troops (fun to run over!), hovercraft, destroyers-you name it. The enemy will show up in many forms-Leopard tanks, helos. These guys can help you clear a beach in a hurry! You don't relax or reconnoiter much in this sim-it's pretty much shoot and scoot all the way.
Air support arrive in the form of war-hungry A-10 Warthogs. Most missions give you the option to call for help. The AI is aggressive and you will be under constant fire. Well, completing the mission is challenging. With dated graphics and borderline physics, what can be said in TC's favor. If you have reached the conclusion that Tank Commander plays fast and loose with realism, I won't try to argue you out of it. Tank Commander sure outfits you well! And if you deplete your ammo too soon-and you will-there are "power-ups" in the game to refill your stores and armor. You have at your disposal, on a single tank, the cannon, coax machine gun, flame thrower, mine destroyer, even a homing missile. Tank speed and radar aren't the only unrealistic aspects of the sim, either. You will spend a lot of time zooming around and blasting targets the onboard radar picks out for you. The tank drives more like a hopped-up mustang than a 63 ton armored assault vehicle. Your tank will spin and accelerate much more rapidly than real life. No matter how you view it, the tanksim's physics are completely detached from reality. You may observe the action using chase, gunner, driver, commander, or satellite views. Complete the first objective and you may proceed through the mission. Each mission consists of sub-sections with distinct objectives. A choice of seven missions awaits, including volcano, arctic, desert, and urban settings. Once you begin, you get to the setting panel where you adjust your sound and detail levels and alter the standard keyboard configurations. If you can accept its limitations, TC may deliver some passable gameplay. The graphics are pre-Pentium and just adequate.
"Tank Commander was released in 1995 as a multi-play capable tanksim. Tank Commander is a fun and highly underrated tank combat game from Domark.
