Apaches, Abrams and Burning Hostages..

Nilson,
 The game is based on Steel panthers, an old SSI game, there were three version.

Steel Panthers, it was WW2 only.

Steel Panthers 2, it was 1950 to 2000.

Steel panthers 3 Brigade comand. It was 39 to 2000, but larger scale, instead of single tanks it was platoons.


The one _Schadenfreude_ linked it good for modern stuff, but their is a much better WW2 version.

You can find it here Matrixgames.

It is a free download, but like 424 megs. MUCH better system the the MBT version in my opinion.

Thanks for the link, btw.  Is it more intuitive than TacOps?


yep it's quite easy to play - start with one of the small scenario's or the campaign - ai is now quite good, it will scout, do helicopter drops in your rear area, use sead missions before air strikes, try playing a defence game vs Russia in 2005 - can get very tough.

There are 2 ww2 versions - I prefer the version found at the same site to the one Matrix did but it's personal choice - it's too easy to over use mines and tank traps in Matrix's version and force the ai into a killing ground - try both and see which you like.

If you prefer ultra modern though MBT is awesome - I was playing vs another guy and dropped 3 Soviet para regiments into his rear area before the main attack - he was deeply unhappy!!

From GS link: "penetrability of up to 600 mm of rolled homogeneous steel. The PG-7VR is a tandem warhead designed to penetrate explosive reactive armor and the armor underneath" ...... no wonder it CAN defeat any tank if it hits a soft spot. ALthough rolled homogeneous steel is not as strong as modern tank armor, it still sounds like a potent warhead.



The crap thing agout the MBT game is the graphics.....the resolution is so small that it gets very blurry on my LCD with 1280*1024 native res.... is there a way to change the game res that i have not found? I cant seem to get my soundcard to work with it either and i think i used to

I liek the part where it says..

In Iraq that disadvantage is diminished because the attacker is often willing to give up his life in an effort to create casualties and political unrest. Superior planning and execution against this system is the key to success. This is not a first use throw-away weapon system. Training and expertise have to be developed with the RPG-7, and once attackers are killed, new soldiers must be found, motivated, trained, and rearmed to make the system effective.



well that does give me a bettr feeling..atleast to use them really succefully you cant be a complete civilian...
