Wow if only RO's tracks behaved so realistically

This game is looking damn up my street, cant wait!!

 

[mistk�fer]

looks pretty nice, even though im not really a fan of tank sims (when tanks were introduced to RO i just hated them)

btw: it has a Zis truck on one screenshot

Thanks for this.
The crushing of trees, wow.
The night fights, wow.
Now that looks like what tank combat should be

 

[Sidus Preclarum]

the damage modelization looks promizing ...
on the other hand, the interface and mapkey needs be rewritten by someone who is NOT a crazed monk sealed in a cask, as it seems to be the case now..

 

[Cuddles]

Minimal recuierments r to high

 

[aesdana]

Link works if you right click and save as, at least for me

 

[Grimble Grumble]

Help! I cant install this bloody game, I click the installer but nothing!

 

[Cuddles]

Thats what hapens when you download a demo of a game made by a unknown developer.

 

[aktionman]

There is no installer - you download the single rar file from http://www.dgames.ru/download/SF_ENG.rar, un-rar it and in the folder called SF_ENG there is an executable starter.exe which you run. Should you mess up your option settings and the game crashes, delete SF_ENG\DATA\K42\LOC_ENG\CONFIG\config.engcfg and try again.

lol - gotta agree with Sidus on the crazed monk controls ...

 

[Grimble Grumble]

That doesnt do anything either

 

[Sidus Preclarum]

oh, and it's a multi-achives, so I couldn't extract it before installing WinRar itself (WinAce or 7Zip coulwn't do)
With WinRAr, all I had to do was extracting the first one, it automatically extracted the others...
another thing: "squeezing the image vertiacally" isn't exactly my idea of widescreen resolution...

A little clunky game at the beginning but once you get the hang of it, its pretty good. Although I cant see the enemy AT-guns because the graphics quality will be low if i want to get good fps.

In this game, the sights have a real purpose. Its very satisfying to guess a distance and see the enemy equipment blow up in a fiery blast at over 1000m. Fantastic.

 

[CrazyThumbs]

Doesn't work on mine due to not having a good enough graphics card. (it's really not that bad.) The graphics requirments are way too high for a game that only has decent graphics.
It is the alpha demo, so I'll probably wait until the beta, or gold release demo to see how the game is.
