We've been talking about this mod in the IL-2 thread and figured it wasn't fair to IL-2 and Tank Crew to detract from the discussion for a totally different sim, so I'm creating a separate thread for STA. Looks like Grim is hopping on the band wagon too, so that makes at least 2 of us. I'll be posting some screen shots, observations and maybe some AARs in the near future. Hope this generates some interest. I'll still focus on Tank Crew for my VR experiences, but when it comes to non-VR, the STA mod is best thing available for WWII ground combat and tank simming.

I think he is in the Ukraine. Time difference can be a pain, but overall, when he is around, I've found that he replies very quickly. Hang in there, bud.

This video shows an assault on a Soviet defensive line by a mixed force of armor and infantry. It comes from one of the add-on campaign packs with 10 missions.

SQUEE!

...uh, I mean, SQUEE EEEK!

...uh, I mean, like in the squeaks of a tank chassis in movement, and the rotation of the turret.  :D

Jarhead. That video is AMAZING!! It's exactly what I want from tank crew... just want multiplayer to go with it in a campaign and it would be perfecto.
That video blew me away. Imagine tank crew having this sort of detail. Downloading the demo. It still seems to be $20 at gamersgate and not on steam.
Do you need the european version to use the mod?

I thought you would fall in love with it. As far as I know, it is not MP. SP only...this makes me happy, but I know you have a group that you like to play with. I could be wrong though...its not something I have looked into.

I have the US Gamersgate version of Steel Fury, so you do not need the euro version of the game to install and use the mod.

Not a lot of good luck so far.....

Did finally get a response and looks like you almost have to go through an "interview" process to download things.....first they want you to download 1.2 and then depending on that, they will make other things available to you instead of everything at once.  Although not really optimal, I'll certainly try working through it but hopefully it does not become too much work.

Regardless they gave me links to a torrent...and simply no luck downloading the files.  Tried multiple torrent clients and can't get the thing to download.  I have enabled all of my security software to allow it so not sure what is going on.

I don't give up easy, but just not sure how much time I will invest in figuring this stuff out, especially since only step #1 :(

That's strange...I didn't have to go through and hurdles with 1.2 at all. You pm'ed lockie?

I bought and installed SF 1942 a few weeks ago and then contacted lockie to download STA 1.2 and I had no issues using BitTorrent. lockie asks you to try 1.2 for a while to make sure everything works well on your PC before donating to get 3.3. I guess he wants to make sure you don't waste your money on a mod that may have issues on your PC.

The installs for 3.3 are non-torrent and you need to download about 10 files. lockie lists the needed files in his PM to you. There are instructions on how to install them using JSGME and it was quite an easy process and worth the effort. The terrain mods are excellent and the amount of scenarios you get with 3.3 is incredible and then there's extra campaigns available for small donations.

The Youtube videos by Geoweb35 is what convinced me to finally buy the game in the first place.

Would love to have TrackIR for this game.

How do you download 1.2? I see this page, but no active links on it.

Although I can appreciate that, it has been extremely frustrating.  In communication with them but just piece by piece versus just providing me the full details.  At this point, I am losing hope that this is worth the time and effort.....no idea why this has been made so hard and I haven't even gotten to the point of actually installing anything.
