Cheers .

I am personnaly using "T72-Balkans on fire" from Battlefront.com

I won't be getting it for $125.00.... :o

Salut Stratege :)

T-72s Balkan on fire is a bit too "arcad-ish" for me . It doesn 't really "simulate" today 's battlefields , far off I may say .

$125.00 may seems a lot of money but what you get is what is used in Tank schools by many Nations .
And you get free updates for a whole year (it might be more) .

Btw , SB Pro PE does NOT use StarForce .

That sim separates the Tankers from the boys :up:

Cheers .

No, thanks, no tanks.

What a great video! I am saving up the money as I type this! I can't wait! (Now the only problem is to talk my friends into getting it!)

Looks a lot like Operation Flash Point to me ( in less good).. I guess maybe the online code is better than OFP...

Steve , SB Pro PE is a great simulator .

Sure , Tanks are not as fun as Subs as you have to work in "Rolling Wolfpacks" to archive victory .
But is is really rewarding to take out Enemy Armor with flanking shots , like we do in SHIII .

The action is faster and a split second decision can decide if you 're gonna kill an enemy unit or die .

Even if do not really try to make you buy that sim , I just want you to know that playing this stuff online with Teamspeak Comms is a woot !

The most enjoyable thing is surely to play online ~as we do~ and to kick ass !
Up to 8 players can log in the same game ~4 on each side or Co-op against the AI~ and bash at each other .

All crewable units ~many different Tanks and personal carriers~ are simulated with accuracy . Infantry with RPGs and ATGMs will help you to archive your goals .

It has to be said that this software is NOT a game and should be taken as it is : a tool to train real Tankers .

I decided to post this "advert" here because I know some of us are real "hardcore sim players" and SB Pro PE can actually fullfill your expectations .

Have you ever imagined how Russia could actually attack the West through Fulda Gap , as an exemple ?! :o
Or North-Korea can attack Seoul with all guns blazing ?

What about replaying The battles in Irak ?! :yep:

To be perfectly honest , your imagination will be the limit . ;)

Cheers .

Cthugha , OFP is not a Tank Sim , even if it is a GREAT thing ~I love it too .
I may say that all the add-ons are VERY expensive , which is not the case with Steel Beasts .

SB Pro PE cannot be compared with OFP simply because it is a real military simulator . We 're not joking here ! :|\

It was acually a big "risk" to release a public version of Steel Beasts as we 're not big in the gamer market and releasing accurate datas about real Armor vehicules is somehow not appreciated by many MODs (Minister of Defense) .

Btw , I have to say that our community is sooooo much helpfull to get you going that you 'll be up in running in no time .

Join up and you 'll NOT be disapointed . I promise you ... :yep:

Cheers .

I love tanks, prolly even more than submarines :o . Damn, that looks awesome. If they are avaliable up here in Canada, I'll buy it for sure :cool:

It is available in Canada .

Cheers .

The movies look amazing so do the screenshots . But 125 is indeed a lot of cash .

No thanks.

Now... If it were WWII!!!....

;)

I'm also interested of this but I think I'll wait for Steel Beasts 2. You can see differences of those three different versions in here http://www.esimgames.com/comparison.htm. And that is probably going to be a lot more cheaper than SB Pro PE. I used to play Steel Beasts demo and I liked it a lot, except the graphics.

Rammstein kicks a$$. :rock:

SB Pro PE will be highly modable ... ;)

Cheers .

I'm not knocking it, or tanks. I happen to like ships and planes, and that's about it.

I only responded as I did because the question was asked in the thread title.

If this was 16 people or more (8v8), I'd probably spend the $125.00. The video is great, no doubt about that. I too will wait for Steel Beasts II. Will there be British tanks too (Challenger II)? I do like the Leopard II and Challenger II. I've always like German armour going to WWII.

Enjoyed the clip, Fred, and I like my tanks sims too, But I'm more of a Tiger or Panther man myself.
Must be something about hunting against superior numbers!

I'm kind of surprised at some of the apathy I've seen here. Steel Beasts was absolutely unique, it was - still is until PE - the greatest, most mature, and focused sim I've ever played. Absolutely the right level of complexity and gameplay: Real where it needs to be, easy where it needs to be.

If you're a fan of sims generally, it's definitely worth a look, because it will be bloody good, you can count on it.

I have been following SB Pro PE with much interest, but the latest two videos have left me unimpressed. The smoke and fire effects on disabled vehicles looks terribly basic and amateuristic. Then there are the Leo's popping their turrets one right after another, making it look an arcade action game. The external view on the T-80 in motion shows that there's absolutely no suspension movement whatsoever--the tank moves across the terrain like a stiff static model. T-72 Balkans on Fire even models this basic feature. Apparently it's still impossible to flip a tank in SB Pro PE, just as it was in SB1. Makes me wonder what else eSim Games has left out.

I could live without certain features in a budget title. However at $125.00 US, I expect basic features to me moddled correctly within a tank sim billed as a military tank training tool.

Luckily I watched these two latest videos just before pre-ordering. I'll now wait and see what the reviews have to say about the retail release. Unfortunately, we don't have enough good tank sims.
