Steel Fury 1942 revisited??? (and a minor rant)

Txema · 12-05-12, 07:18 PM

Buying Steel Fury is at least as easy as buying Steel Beasts. You can buy Steel Fury at www.gamersgate.com without any problems, for example.

Stating that a game that can be easily purchased, with a little but very active community, and that gets new mods and content released regularly is "pretty much a dead game these days" is obviously wrong. I want to think that you have stated it because you didn't know about the evolution of Steel Fury during the last years. But I also think that it is only fair to ask you to check the reality of a tank sim (at least its official forums!) prior to giving advise to a player stating that that tank sim is dead. This is the "Tanksim" forum and the players should expect fair and accurate advise about tank sims here...

Von Due,

Just a suggestion for you, but please ask your questions also on the Graviteam forums.

You can control the platoon, APCs and infantry directly under your command.

You have to press F8 to go to the map and orders screen. Then you have to click on the icon "Orders to unit" (placed on the icons panel at the top-center of the screen). Then an icons panel appears on the left-center of the screen. If you click on the icon "do as I do" your platoon will follow your movements keeping the selected formation. If you click on the icon "stop" (also at the icons panel on the left-center of the screen) then your platoon will stop while you move your tank freely. You can also click on an icon to order your platoon to go to a specific location. Please, check the tutorial missions. The third tutorial mission deals with these platoon orders...

Steel Fury is not perfect, of course, and it has its problems, but it is a very good WWII tank sim !!
