Steel Fury Discussion thread

frinik · 11-02-10, 07:02 AM

My feeling Sledge is that the Alpha release may not come at all as I expected it would. Reading the threads of the Avia forum where the modders are active and I am getting the feeling that they are going to produce patches and fixes for the little bugs and then gradually release new missions ( piecemeal?) for the new vehicles :Elefant, Panther, T28, JS2 1944, T34/43, Jagdpanther etc.in the forms of mini campaigns or single missions and eventually new user-made missions will sprout. If I were you I wouldn't wait too much for an Alpha release and just downlaad the beta release and the patch and fixes.

To the resources I'll add my own common resolution and modified tech-cfg files for those who want to correct glaring errors in German and Soviet tank, guns and ammo specs. I have modified (corrected) armour thickness, quality, ammo load for the Tiger I,II,Panther ausf. D and T34/85 and T34/7r( German beutepanzer T34/76). My specs are the result of research from several sources.They make the German tanks stronger as per reality and the T34/85 not as strong (still potent) but as it really was. there was an interesting exchange on the Avia forum yesterday about a guy asking how whether the German hit coefficient - set at 0.1 compared to 0.3 for Soviet tanks - was not understated.The answer was " this is the value that was set by the developers in the original game").This would tend to reinforce my belief that the developers, as good patriots, might have wanted to skew the game in favour of their side.

Frinik, those tweaks sound excellent. do you have a download yet?

TO ALL!
Please be sure to reference all people looking for Steel Fury mods to the second post in this thread. I've done what I can to keep up with the current mods releases, and please don't be afraid to let me know when something new is released, either by posting here or by PM.
Another thing that I request, I understand that a lot of mods are coming from the Sukhoi.ru forum, and I don't know if it's just my computer, but every link I've ever went to leading to that site brings me to a "brick wall."
I'm just asking, when you post links, try to post them directly from the download site, not the Sukhoi forum.
(edit, to give an example. look t the link fo the TigerEnhancement mod I just added to the resources thread, it goes straight to the download site)
I hate to be a pain in the arse, but I would like to bring the mods to the members here reliably and ASAP.
Thank you,
Sh427

Sledge my problem is that I don't have a download site.I wonder if I paste them directly on a post will they be accessible????

you can always get a Mediafire account. that's what I use to host my mods (links in my sig) and they won't randomly delete your files like Filefront does. it's free, by the way.

time to do some moderator stuff. Okay so here's what I'm going to do.

I would like to unmerge these two posts. I haven't heard of anyone playing Steel Panthers and I'm not seeing any interest being displayed on here. So I'm going to remove the Steel Panthers post and the mods links, and turn this thread into a Steel Fury discussion thread (since that's what it's become anyway

)
while taking the mods+links page and turning it into a new post, so you guys can still discuss the current events in SF and the new guys can go straight to the mods without having to rifle through 5-6 pages of stuff.
-claps- time to get to work.

I hope this is the right thread to ask this, I tried to download the Steel Panzer 1.5 from the tanksim site, it sent me to a Russian download, the little timer went round but I can't find the file on my computer

Any suggestions

Sledgehammer427 · 01-22-11, 08:02 PM

ontos, could you be so kind as to send me the download link you used?
perhaps I could figure out what happened, those russian download sites are a little sketchy sometimes.
