Steel Beasts Pro PE 4.357 Full Installer (ca. 4273 MB, 05/08/2022)
The following items on my Steel Beasts wish list have already been fulfilled prior to version 4.3:
RPGsGeneral
- Secure Estonia as a new customer, since they won't require too many new additions and therefore are a relatively easy addition to the revenue stream
- Secure the Czech Republic as a new customer, since they won't require too many new additions and therefore are a relatively easy addition to the revenue stream
The following items on my Steel Beasts wish list have been fulfilled with version 4.3:
Crewable vehicles:
- BRDM-2 AT 9P148 (the version that's already in Steel Beasts)
- Leopard 2A6MA2
- Pizzaro F.2
Non-crewable vehicles (will still accept if released as crewable):
- BTR-80A
- BTR-82AT
- T-72B3 m. 2012
Crewable trucks:SP mortars:MRLs:General:
- Aerovironment Switchblade 600
- Earthworks
What are your impressions?
My impressions:
- T-72B3 has an excellent fire control system, on par with the DF30
- Heat blur is an excellent visual effect, which significantly adds to the immersion
- I played the mission "Fulda Gap 11 Cav 1988" (in the folder "Scenarios/Single/Version 4.3"), with the M1(IP) and the M3A2(ODS) vs. T-72B and BMP-2. Forces were 1 under strength battalion for me vs. 1x full strength tank regiment for Red. The terrain was unfavorable for the defense (rolling terrain which caused line of sight to frequently be broken). The enemy won the mission, but despite this, I inflicted over 5:1 casualties and reduced the tank regiment to approximately 2 companies.
I have realized that this other item on my Steel Beasts wish list has been fulfilled:
General:
- Engaging infantry groups of 3+ with HE/HEAT/HESH
Will the b3 turrets pop like they do in Ukraine ? Judging the distance of a Russian t72 turret pop is a new internet thing.
