War Thunder is a good viable game to train them with as I have played it myself, but another good one for any tank crewmen who may see this and want to do this same thing for your own squad is ARMA 3, as it is a lot more realistic, even if Bohemia Interactive did take a few liberties. Another thing about ARMA, yes, there are a lot of expensive DLCs, No, You do not have to purchase them to play the game. There are many mods on the steam workshop that get around having to force you to buy the DLC to be able to play the game with the weapons and vehicles that come out with each DLC. Not to mention, in ARMA you can create custom battle scenarios to where you can have full on mock missions in the game to better aid in training them how to deal with certain problems.
