The Missed Opportunity: Steel Fury's Untapped Potential in the Shadow of Mius Front

Image
  Introduction As an avid enthusiast of WWII tank simulators, it's disheartening to witness the missed opportunities in this genre, particularly concerning Graviteam's "Steel Fury: Kharkov 1942." Despite its promising foundations, "Steel Fury" was left behind as its developer, Andrey from Graviteam Tactics, shifted focus to the real-time strategy game "Mius Front." Every time I play "Mius Front," I am reminded of the untapped potential that "Steel Fury" held—potential that Andrey could have maybe capitalized on, and perhaps still might, though it's unlikely. The Evolution of Mius Front and the Overlooked Steel Fury "Mius Front" has thrived, growing stronger with each update. It boasts numerous upgrades, varied Eastern Front theatre's of war, and an extensive array of units.

I have now managed to Export it from SketchUp and into Blender, also with the help of a Blender GPT I can section it into parts ready for export.

ZeeWolf's Christmas gift found: Link here

  Hello fellow tankers, For those interested in trying out the ZeeWolf sample mod, here's the  LINK  and summary of some essential points for installation and optimal performance. You will require a working copy of the T34 vs Tiger. Installation Notes: Place the DLLs if needed in the root directory of the game (where TvsT.exe is located). Do not run shadows on full, as this causes graphical errors. Adjust anti-aliasing (AA) through your graphics card control panel, not in-game. Set terrain, forest, and water settings to the lowest for the best performance. Features of ZeeWolf's Gift Mod (Ver 2.0): New F6 View with Zoom : Use F6 and keypad + and - keys. Improved Vehicle Damage Model : Allows reloading/repairing your tank (use the "b" key). New AI Tank Improvements : Customizable ammo power and skins for multiplayer. Human Animation Behaviour : Enhanced German uniform skin. Concrete Pillbox and Barrier Gun Position : New models added. Working Nebelwerfer : Reloads every...
