The Antisocial Gamer

 War Thunder Closed Beta has had an addition tank pack added which lowers the entry fee for the closed beta to 20 Euros/dollars.  News and this is the one I purchased to get me into the WT beta.  I have managed 2 quick games, one an arcade battle, which reminded me of WoT and the other, a Historical Battle. The HB is semi realistic and takes place on the very big Kursk map. This really was impressive to play on.

With all the tension, I forgot to press the screenshot key, until the dying moments of the hour long session. The Pzr IV in the foreground was my wing man scouting for Slomo's Sherman's, that had infiltrated the village I was defending (poorly). Not long after this screen shot, the Pzr IV was destroyed by Slomo's last Sherman. This gave away his position and I was finally able to destroy his last tank. A great session and I was well beaten by superior skill.

The Tiger 1 has fully working tracks, a real treat for me as a tranker to watch them move on the undulating terrain. Both terrains are created in Unity and are 2km², one is desert and the other is more European.  

A new version of Steel Beasts has been released with a raft of fixes for this, the premier modern tank sim. The release notes are  HERE  and as you will see, it has a comprehensive list of fixes. Which include an updated lighting engine and bump and spec for soldiers, this aids them to better blend into the undergrowth.
