Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Command is an epic combat simulator that allows players to command an entire platoon of tanks and support units, or assume the role of any member in a complete tank crew. Developed by Graviteam and published by 1C Company, the game was released in 2006 for Microsoft Windows.
Gameplay
Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Command is a realistic tank simulation game that features three of Russia’s most devastating and powerful tanks: the T-34-85, T-55A, and T-72B. Players can control these tanks through 18 campaigns, 2 training missions, 5 single-player missions, and 3 multiplayer (LAN) missions.
The game’s realism extends to its physics and 3D engine, which create game environments where real-life armored tactics become the only way to survive on the modern battlefield. Ballistics models take into account wind, shell type, aerodynamic flight characteristics, barrel wear, and droop.
Players must master their tanks and crews to succeed in Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Command. They must also learn to effectively command other units that round out their mechanized platoon, including infantry, artillery, and anti-air units.
Cooperative multi-player support allows gamers to team up as a tank crew and play different positions within the same tank. This adds a new level of challenge and excitement to the game.
