How about giving a Tiger it's stripes?

The biggest problem here is that many major factors in tank warfare, like speed, visibility, movement range, realistic combat distances, technical equipment (like radios) simply cannot be represented in a game of this scale.

It could be done but would take more personel then the devs have or so much time by the time they were done the software and hardware they made the game for wouldn't even be around for anyone to use.

What I am saying is simple math

the US air trafic control system was built to maintain the planes in the sky.. It took 2 years with 500scientist to build the system. Today the system is old and their are no companies making the hardware to fix any equipment failures. It would take 40,000 scientiest today 2 years to rewrite the program for todays computers... the reason it needs to be rewritten is because the CPUs and hardware Motherboards and such of the time the system was built use an entirely different computing language then PCs today. example DOS programs do not work in windows. you need an emulater like DOSbox to run under windows. which takes ALOT of proccessing power to just change the language to something windows can understand..

So it can be done just not on a game budget.. So unless you wanna pay about 3 times the cost of windows vista today (the cost would vary based on how many purchase the game and demand for it... Microsoft mainly works on making bill gates rich) then you won't see a trully realistic game you speak of.. maybe 50-100 years from now those figures will be easier to place in game cause the human brain will devolope by natural means or gynetics to proccess more information at once to need less scientists...

or we may be able to create a comupter that thinks for itself.. and it can proccess all the information for us... but that's not any time soon

The game is as realisit as it gets for todays or the day they started making the game...
