![]() There's a huge number of single missions (there's even one for a motorcycle & sidecar IIRC!) but relatively few campaigns. The main downsides of SF are somewhat limited platoon control (and nearly all of what you can do, can only be done from the map screen, there are no hotkeys eg for formation changes) verbal target indications are hard to follow unless you leave the subtle target markers and/or the turret direction indicator turned on and your AI platoon-mates tend to want to charge the enemy if you let them off the leash at all. There are older SF mods (SPM and NTA) which might still be locatable somewhere on the interweb but they have been entirely surpassed by the STA version. My 3.4 install doesn't use my Steam version of SF but I've no reason to suppose it isn't compatible. ![]() Similarly I don't think 3.4 needs the 4gb patch (step 6 above). I think STA3.4 doesn't need this, as, like Steel Armour Blaze of War, it introduces its own AA setting (called 'Smoothing' in the Options menu, IIRC). The process is described in the Japanese wiki site in more detail here (again, MS Edge will translate well): SF doesn't like Nvidia anti-aliasing (results in corrupted graphics if applied in NCP) so Nvidia Inspector is used instead, to set a specific value for AA Compatibility (000012C1) which then enables AA to be applied in an Nvidia Inspector (not NCP) profile for SF (which profile must be linked to the file shell.exe, not starter.exe). running the 4GB patch on two files (starter.exe and shell.exe) - after enabling the base STA mod since it replaces these files. enabling the mods in the exact order indicated for the STA version you are using Ħ. unzipping the components you downloaded into the SF JSGME MODS folder ĥ. running the widely-used Jonesoft Generic Mod Enabler inside SF, to create a MODS folder therein (2&3 not needed for Steam version as JSGME is included) Ĥ. downloading all the components listed for your desired version of STA ģ. installing SF, clean, and if desired setting your preferences like screen res, image quality and difficulty, and checking it all works Ģ. Whichever version of the STA mod you go for, modding SF is as simple as:ġ. But many mission makers now deal with this by putting the briefing, and possibly some sort of map, into the mission intro screen, which you can read at leisure, before the action begins. ![]() Despite having 3.X for a while, I stuck with 2.X because in 3.X, you can no longer read the briefing and look at the map until after the mission starts playing. This Panther A is I think an updated version which comes with the 3.X version of the STA mod. Hopefully these downsized ones will be better: All crew members are modeled and can be controlled by the player.Thanks for the friendly welcome guys and sorry about the oversized pics, which caught me out too. ![]() Infrared search lights, periscopes and pintle-mounted.50 calls can be used to sacrifice infantry. About the gameThough not meeting the standards of modern gaming, the inside of this car is detailed and every detail of a cold armored car is provided to the player. The player can no longer see the full eye on the battlefield, fine-tuning the unit to its perfect location.Instead, the player directs the battalion in a heated gun battle over a cynical Cold War hotspot, including the Iran-Iraq war, Angola, and Afghanistan, off the Soviet T-62 or American M-1’s claustrophobia. It is an incomplete system, but the mind is a very powerful tool set for a truly dedicated tactical commander.The level of detail in Flight Simulator, the Cold War tank, and Graviteam combine with some sort of real-time strategy game that was rarely seen in strategic games. Steel Armor Blaze of War stands out as an integration of the Graviteam system used in the pure strategy game Graviteam Tactics: Operation Iskra. The predecessor of Steel Fury remains the most immersive tank simulation available for function, especially in modern systems, despite problems.Considering this, the only competitor is the huge amount of steel professional simulator of 125 US Dollars to civilians.
