These and other videos will give you an impression of how Steel Fury plays - first video mostly stock, the others illustrating kit and missions available with mods.







Steel Fury doesn't really give you much of sense of player persona or the unit you're serving with - the stock campaigns are decent, but fairly impersonal compared to PzC. The additional missions are mostly that - single missions. A few are tied together into campaigns. Some of these, like Schulze's Diary (first two screenshots below) and the movie based Fury campaign (third screenshot), attempt to provide a more immersive approach.

If you are fixiated on WWII, well, then that is like that.

If you want a simulation of mechanised ground warfare tactics and armoured combat vehicles 50's-present, there is only one contender: Steel Beasts Pro.

Sticky at the top of the forum list.

Over one dozen armies int he wEst use it for crew training. The software is practcially identical, just enriched with even greater maps of often classified nature, and an interface for the external instructors.





Be advised that that sticky is no longer updated by me. SBP now is on version 3.0, and 4.0 is just coming out these days, with massive additions, improvements, and new, smoother terrain engine. Youtube holds many SBP videos, but always check the date they were mnade at, and the verison. The differences in gameplay and features and graphics can be massive.

eSim links in that sticky.

3.0 is on sale I read. 4.0 is coming soon, any day. I would wait for 4.0.

PS some of the types of kit available with Steel Fury's STA mod are illustrated here:

http://stasf2008.ephpbb.com/t22-avai...its-in-sta-mod

I think all the AFVs are playable, tho some will have only a few missions with them as the player's mount.

Panzer Elite with the PP2x or PE3 mods is also worth considering; the graphics are better with the mods but still dated, though platoon command and control and radio traffic are both much better represented than in Steel Fury. Frinik can maybe confirm it runs under Win 10:





If post-WW2 tanking is an interest, an option worth considering is Steel Armour - Blaze of War - just two playable tanks (M60A1 and T-62) and it doesn't have Steel Beasts classic NATO-v-WARPAC setting but technically it's very good, especially as the developers have updated the original version.
