VBS2 or Armed Assault
Here is VBS2, this is the latest version of a military grade simulation, the US Army just paid for a simulated exercise called DARWARS and payed about $17.7 million in USD (see the link). I feel that $20.00 a copy is a relatively fair price to pay to play the commercial version of this.
Compare that with Armed Assault, the commercial game for the PC, with modifications that are available and you will see that there isn’t much difference in the trainee or player’s experience.
Much of the equipment and features in the newest Military Sim are available for us in the private realm as well. While there are limitations in the back end of the public version that are not in the military grade version, many of these have been overcome through dedicated members of the community that have created such great add-ons or modifications as ACE (Advanced Combat Environment), BLND HMMWVs, the CH M1Abrams and T72 Pack and a thousand others.

The in depth and careful modeling makes this a vehicle for intense immersion in many types of scenarios. Be they small unit patrolling techniques or immediate action drills, ArmA is a powerful engine and tool in its own right.
