This epic combat simulator allows the player to command an entire platoon of tanks and ALL associated support units, or assume the role of ANY member in a complete tank crew. The realism of both the physics and 3D engine creates game environments where real life armored tactics become the only way to survive on the today's modern battlefield. Three of Russia's most devastating and powerful tanks ever produced are yours to control; the T-34-85, T-55A and T-72B. Roll these mechanized monsters through 18 campaigns, 2 training missions, 5 single player missions, and 3 multiplayer (LAN) missions. Master your tank and crew and you will soon take command of other units that round out your mechanized platoon. Cooperative multi-player support allows gamers to team up as a tank crew and play different positions within the same tank. Roll into battle on some of the most realistic terrain maps ever modeled; real weather; destructable terrain and detailed models. [Strategy First]

All the various aspects that make a good game are here; good graphics and sound, interesting and varied missions, realistic damage and overall simulation realism all add to make a good tank simulation.

Definitely realistic, but sloppy AI sometimes feels cheap.

The game itself is very fun, once you get used to the interface. I’m also very impressed with the level of realism the developers have produced in this title.

Insufficient documentation, an unreliable engine and some obvious gaffs in terms of realism make Iron Warriors a hard sell for the sim fans out there and an unwelcoming introduction for players who are looking to broaden their interests.

Worth Playing
An exercise in frustration. I wish I could score this game on its potential, but I don't know how much time and effort Crazy House is going to put into shaping up this game into what its consumers deserve.

The AI doesn't match up to the ambition. [Aug 2006, p.68]

I wouldn’t even bother installing this on your PC if you got your hands on a free copy.

The most realistic tank simulation game out there, nothing else come close to this kind of realism.

Lars S. gave it an8:
I'm an old tanker my self, and realy enjoy the game, its the game that comes closest to the real deal on the market, but I also have a small warning. If you buy the game on steam there is two items that are not working. The config to set specific graphics, this will make the fps werry low on low-med computers, and the mission editor. But if you can run it and doent use time making missions this game rocks :)

Chris B. gave it a2:
this game is so crappy . i love tank games.. but there is maby 2 or 3 good tank games that came out and this isnt one of them at all... good for kids under 12.

James G. gave it a10:
