Steel Thunder offers multiple theaters in which to do battle ranging from Cuba
to Europe. While actually in the tank, the player can easily move from the
position of Commander to Gunner or Driver, offering a significant degree of
realism, but still keeping the action moving. You can simply stay in the
Commander’s seat, and give commands to the Driver and Gunner and just watch
the action as it plays out, although only from the internal views.

As play progresses, the player also increases his rank. The initial mission
set-up screen offers the player multiple tanks ranging from the Bradley to the
M1A1. In addition to this, the player can also choose specific crew members
and see their respective “grade” regarding their performance characteristics.
