New Tank Sim: Gunner, HEAT, PC!

After its totally lackluster performance, people are already making that joke about Intel’s new Arrow Lake CPUs (Ultra 200s).

:rofl: One of the best subversions in the plot of Regiments, was that the original conflict was started when the West Germans responded to a chemical weapons attack across the border by sending a task force to investigate and retaliate.

Then it turned out to be an industrial rail accident/chemical spill, but the East Germans responded to the cross-border invasion by counter-attacking, leading to WWIII. It was pretty great.

Me too. But I reckon we would have the dickens of a time getting an export licence.

I am just gobsmacked that unless anyone else makes a higher bid, in 4 days somebody just bought it for USD1200.00 :astonished:

I can’t see a reserve price listed?

Would! Would so hard!

I almost put in a bid, but then I looked across at my long-suffering wife, and considered the cost of divorce attorneys (which is what would happen if I did) and decided against.

One of those coupled with A3, GHPC, or even DCS would be awesome. The sim might not matter as much as you’d expect, since you don’t need fancy interior graphics.

Someone has bid it up to an eye watering $2,000 dollars. :scream:

Holy Cripes, I’d have bought that. For 2 grand? Absolutely, I figure I spend a bit more on storage and then probably $400-$500 on getting it working with the PC.

Especially with solutions like Raspberry Pi out there, it’d be an awesome project.
