WWII Battle Tanks: T34 vs Tiger

[BoyarPunk]

Anybody seen/been following this upcoming self-described realistic tank sim?

Screenies look great and I love the concept of the game. However...the game's been released in Russia already and the initial reports say it's buggy as hell.

Hopefully the EU/NA release is cleaned up and the game's a winner. I've been aching for a realistic WWII tank sim.

Sorry about that, Masta. I found that thread...although it is two months old and I would have felt bad resurrecting a dead topic.

So close

40 Euros for 2 playable tanks?
I think not.

the demo they released probably chased away many potential buyers, the controls were impossible to use, and unless you can read russian there was no way to read what button does what
so my first experience with this game was to stand still in spawn for 20 minutes pushing every button, untill i finally understood how to get moving, but learning to shoot was mission impossible. a game like that should have a training mission where they explain the basics in the demo, they shot themselves in the foot with that demo

the graphics were average, and my nvidia 8600 GT had alot of trouble running this game with graphic settings at 80%. would get an fps of 10-30, it was only playable with settings on "crappy"

 

[D3terioNation]

Well this is supposed to be a much improved version to the Russian one!

Thats why its taken so long (apparently)

If its still crap then I will mega disappointed

 

[D3terioNation]

Didnt play the demo but really confidant about the Euro/US release. Were the controls really that bad??

Can you not bind WASD for forward backwards etc?

Or roll up to open hatch or numb pad to change positions?

 

[SchutzeSepp]

if i remember right, the demo was in russian. so good luck with finding out what key does what

 

[D3terioNation]

Ok well the Euro version will obviously have English wording so Im sure it will be alot better then the russian one.

Never played or intend playing the russian version btw

It is a good game but you need a good pc to play it with good FPS. Some tankers of RO have a steam group and we have tried the game online (russian version of course), it is nice, good efects and realismus, but it is needed a dedicated server since to host the game causes a lot of problems in perfomance. We have played it with like 5 people.

It isnt exactly a tank simulator as T72 Iron Warriors can be, but it is more enjojable because of that. Tiger and T34 are really good made, you can feel the difference on weight, movements and so only driving them. There are some other simulator points as the engine overheating in the T34 or the rotating option in Null gear on the Tiger. AP, tungsteno shells and HE, even you can see the holes in the armor caused by enemy shoots.

Anyways we hope the EU/USA version will be more optimizated and soon developed

Controls arent so strange, here some of them:

F1, F2, F5, F6 is the ones you look for

stations are
Driver : insert. Gunner : home. Commander : page up

change ammo with : Page down

w is gear up
s is gear down
a is left
d is right
space is park brake
arrow up is revolutions up
arrow down is revoloutions down
E turns on the engine

Looks like Steel Fury is going to be the best option now. Which do you think will deliver more realism?

Kharkov 1942 or t34 vs Tiger?

What turns me off Kharkov is no Tiger. And what turns me off TvT (apart from the delays) is just 2 playable tanks!!!

 

[Pharnakes]

I assume this means its been delayed from the 12th?

Whens the new date? and when is steel scheduled to come out?

 

[D3terioNation]

Think theyre both pushed back to November.

Just tried Kharkov demo and I really dont like it. Fingers crossed for an English demo for TvT...

I was unaware of a USA copy of Tiger vs T34 being made, I think the only to get it will be shipping it from overseas.
