PC.IGN has thrown together a review on Tripwire Interactive's first person shooter, Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. With a final score of 8.5/10, this one might be worth a look. Here's a nugget on the game's vehicles:

Vehicles also have more realistic behavior. The driver does not control any weapons, and pulling into a rapid reverse is not an option. However, you have several viewing modes accessible simply by scrolling the mouse. The more you see, though, the more exposed you are. And the tank cannon gunner has to be careful with his shots, because it takes considerable time to load another shell. You have to stay on the move once sighted, and hopefully you'll have a machine gunner along for the ride as well, to keep the anti-tank infantry off your back while you dance with the enemy tank. Although the German tanks are typically easier to spot, they take a beating, so it usually balances out.
