Image
If you're wondering whether Steel Fury: Kharkov 1942 still holds up in 2023, the answer is a resounding yes.

A Reflection on ZeeWolf's Mod and Its Future

Image
I've been contemplating a matter close to my heart as an enthusiast of T34 vs Tiger, and I wish to share these thoughts with you all, seeking your insights and guidance. As many of you know, ZeeWolf's mod, a creation that can only be described as his magnum opus, stands as a testament to his skill, passion, and dedication to T34 vs Tiger.
