Firefight

Firefight is an exceptional simulation game that is set in World War II, which puts emphasis on attention to detail and AI like no other game in the genre. The game boasts of tanks that are designed with a physics engine that renders various features such as gears, speedos, and rev counters, while also steering themselves with brake levers, thereby providing a realistic representation of tracked vehicle movement. Additionally, the game takes into consideration the smallest of details, such that each bullet, shell, or shrapnel is displayed in 3D and can ricochet impeccably from sloping surfaces.

Moreover, the game allows you to keep tabs on the inventory of each infantryman, including their rank, name, ammunition, heart rate, fatigue levels, and weapon. As the machine gunners run low on ammunition, they will immediately place a call, and other members of the squad that are carrying spare ammo will rush over to lend a helping hand. In case any of the soldiers get wounded, they will call upon medics, who will come sprinting over to provide them with first aid.

The game also offers an option to use off-board artillery, although it takes several ranging shots before the full eight-gun battery opens fire simultaneously, which makes the gameplay even more realistic.

If simulation games like Close Combat are your thing, then get ready to be bowled over by the incredible experience that Firefight has to offer.
