I'm looking for some more realistic military anime. Finished the Patlabor movie series and Patlabor 2 blew my mind. I also really loved Jin-Roh, and that one scene from Royal Space Force. Anything pretty grounded with a serious tone (didn't like the comedic aspects of the Patlabor OVA's). Massive fan of all Ghost in the Shell as well, but that's not really military.
I haven't watched it myself, but Flag might fit the setting you're looking for. Unfortunately the animation looks piss-poor.
Try lurking /m/ for a while. You might find something in the tank or webm threads.

Flag sounds like a good realistic depiction of war, I will give it a shot. I can try to watch /m/ from time to time but I don't usually like eastern mechs
