I've been following this one for a bit and it's got a release date for 2023.  Never seen it discussed in a topic but I figured it'd be releative to everyone's interests. 

Apparently this will be a WW2 Armor "Tactical Combat Action Game" that will have simulator elements and an in depth repair/logistical management element.

The devs have compared the Armor sim element to be inspired by Panzer Elite, which instantly raised my eyebrow. 

They've been doing regular dev blogs and updated recently in December, so I'm hoping we'll see this one in our Christmas Stockings and it delivers.

Been watching this for a while on steam too.  Looks good, kind of reminds me of the tank game from the graviteam guys when they weren't graviteam.

Playway. Looks good though. Fingers crossed.

Exactly why I didn't really think to mention it till now. 

With Playway titles I tend to like to wait to see if it's in active development or if it's just a cinematic concept demo. 

In this case it looks like it's actually making some progress, so, cautiously optimistic.

I downloaded the demo, but didn't get around to it as I was too busy with starfield.

It's rough, very rough, around the edges but has potential.

"Grim and realistic depictions of the horrors of war."

....I'm not gonna say pass, but nowadays I've about got my fill of that already.  :buck2:

Otherwise the game looks interesting. Glad it got out of concept-video stage!

If the game becomes Armored Commander II with nice 3D graphics, that would be something very nice.

Enjoying this demo although they call it a vertical slice...

More like a modern version of Panzer Elite.  The Developers have stated they're directly inspired by that game.
