Default TvsT versus SF

Hi Bert,

My answer is yes ZeeWolf's work is definitely worth the money but only if you are planning to keep and play TvsT for the foreseeable future! I have both games so you don't think I am being biased. I have multiple installations of Steel Fury with SP 1.4, Sp 1.5 unofficial and 1.5 beta) all the mods and missions including user-made missions I did for myself and I have ZeeWolf's Tvst as well as the stock Tvst.My advice is play both!

Note that ZeeWolf's work is strictly focussed on SP; if you're in for the multiplayer side of TvsT then save your money.

SF is an excellent tank sim which I enjoy very much while ZeeWolf has turned TvsT from a dead-end into an excellent tank sim with a future which is why I bought into his work. Both games differ somewhat in their approach. I don't like comparisons nor would I say one is superior because it all depends on what makes you tick really.

TvsT has slightly better graphics and thanks to ZeeWolf the numerous bugs of the stock game have been eliminated, new models and missions have been introduced as well as other improvements and that sim now has a bright future .New tanks and new missions are about to be relased this week( read ZeeWolf's post of yesterday and last but not least you get ZeeWolf's outstanding support and assistance always!
SF offers more variety in vehicles and missions, has a very friendly mission editor and is actively supported by a dynamic community of modders.There are pros and cons to both games which is why I have both.I enjoy them in their own right.As for realism like all sims realism is present in both games but the AI is always what really limits realism. As Skybird would doubtless say if you want the most realistic tank sim currently available then you will have to settle for Steel Beasts.But it's not a WWII sim.and it's more expensive.

Hope I helped you make your mind up!

Cheers
