The middle of these games

≈ 17k–22k copies

≈ $89k–$119k after Steam's cut

from ~573 reviews

Only the top fifth of 2019’s Steam releases earned about $34k gross, so plan for that or less.

2 of your 8 similar games are hits.

Best case: Thunder Tier One at ≈ 142k–231k copies. A breakout hit, far above a typical game.

What it took to get here
About half the games that made it here had over 119 reviews in their first month; the spread ran 6 to 3k.
The genre you'd be entering
Your set
Your set clusters on Shooter (6 of 8) and Real Time Tactics (3 of 8).
The winners
Winners here lead with Realistic + Shooter, priced around $10. The breakout hits carry Realistic + Military + Sandbox; a typical game here doesn't.
The era
None of the games you compared shipped in the last two years; the newest is from 2022. That says more about your picks than about the market, so add newer similar games to read the timing.
How these numbers were worked out

A hit here: 1,000+ reviews, roughly $150k+ before Steam's cut (a standard indie benchmark).

Copies come from each game's reviews times a sales-per-review rate of about 31, then widened into a range; revenue rides on that estimate times price. Source: GameDiscoverCo (2020) and VG Insights (2021).
