The shermans had gunsight stabilization If memory serves me right.
I find it funny that there is a neat little split among Zeewolf and I. He's the TvsT guy and I'm the Steel Fury one. I have both as well, but TvsT taxes my system far more than SF does so I prefer the one that doesn't threaten to fry my video card.
i find Steel Fury to be more immersive. I've never been in a tank but I feel it comes the closest. TvsT has some pretty little things that don't click with me. like, for example, the gunsights. you have the grainy one that is the gunsight you are looking through, then you have the high res fullscreen one, which is more preferable. I don't see how that can plant you in the combat environment...it feels like a cheat, but I consider a cheat to be something the tanker back then didn't have.
the other one is the interfaces, the TvsT one is streamlined and user friendly, while the Steel Fury one feels raw, where everything you need to know is right there, and yes I am being a little bit of a hypocrite by saying that but it's no different than putting the thought processes of the tank crewmember in visual form. They didn't have a hud, and there will come a day where we won't either...but now, the information that would have been readily available to the tanker, such as the RPM's and which gear you are in, the number of shells remaining, what your last order to the driver is, and so on, will have to be visually defined onscreen, and therefore I think Steel Fury does a superb job of that.
Okay, done with my rant.
Lastly, otto, I do find enjoyment in both, and as frinik said they are cheap, I suggest having both. you will have days where one game just doesn't compete with the other and days where you just want that one mission...
