Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Command

Every other mission something critical bugs out: -Zoom stuck on minimum or maximum -Turning lever stuck halfway -Autoloader crapping out 10/10 realism for Soviet tanks. Would highly recommend.

good game if you like tanks

While subsequent Graviteam tanksims (Steel Fury Kharkov 1942 and Steel Armor Blaze of War) made successive and significant improvements to visuals and gameplay, this is still a rather good little package, especially at the low asking price. The missions in the nicely story-driven and character-based campaign are small-scale, including several where you're essentially on your own and up against weapons which will make short work of whatever tank you have (starting with the T-34-85). The implementation of the driver, gunner and commander roles is quite detailed, engaging and convincing and the sim delivers an excellent feeling of rumbling around in and operating a tank, especially the star, the ubiquitous T-72. Apply the Gastello mod to improve significantly the 3d models, scenery and sights (this disables the T34-85 as 'playable', and will return the in-game menus to Russian, but the top-level one is still in English and a fix is being looked into for the others). Read the manual and use the file cfg.bat to fine-tune settings that can't be touched in-game, including (in my case) setting the display to 1920x1080.

It certainly doesn't hold up to modern standards as well as I'd like it to, but it's good. The physics are a bit... silly.... try spamming the handbrake....... you'll see what I mean. As for a game, It works. So ... in reference to the other games, it's pretty good.

Я поиграл всего час, а чувствую выеб_анным в жо_пу

It's a tank simulator that is from 2006 but plays like it was from 1996 at best with its controls and limitations. Honestly, Operation Flashpoint was a better tank simulation and less infuriating and useless AI.

F5 驾驶模式（司机） 基本操作： up/down(或鼠标轮) 油门大小 E 发动机点火 B 离合器（刹车功效，仍在耗油） A/Z 换档（最高档一般不用，需极平整公路） left/right（鼠标左右键） 转向 X 暂时加油门（松手即恢复原油门，爬坡用） L 探照灯（夜间行驶用） G 压缩空气（清洁车窗，下雨天气可除观察窗水雾） CTRL+C 开关舱盖(一般不用,开了盖还容易挨枪子) 驾驶模式火力支援 2 炮手自动开火 3 车长自动搜索 4 炮口转向（前/后） * 一般玩家在司机位置时最好打开自动搜索观察敌情（2，3）或只开3（一千米外自动开炮一般打不准，如果首发不命中，等待装填炮弹的时间内可能要了自己的命），开车时车长会自动寻找敌人。并警告，这时尽快切换炮手位置亲自料理他们。 * 自动火力耗弹很快，效率不高，一旦坦克带的弹药用完就玩完儿了。建议发现敌人时切换炮手位置以（SUO）手动开炮PK敌手。 F6 炮手模式 基本操作 S 自动平衡炮口（SUO灯亮） T 炮口自动指向车长标定目标 键盘上下左右（鼠标左键不松） 炮口方向 +/-（鼠标轮） 视野远近 X 十字瞄线照明调亮（夜里） C 十字瞄线照明调暗（白天） B/N 切换主炮弹药类型 （附：BPS/BKS 穿甲/破甲弹 打坦克重装甲类 OFS 高爆榴弹 打步兵车轻甲类，建筑等 UR 炮射导弹 打直升飞机 P 同轴机枪弹打步兵） R 装填弹药 （附：T72坦克装弹时，主炮必须上调约30度的正确角度才能装填成功，此时指示灯亮，SUO状态时主炮则自动调角度装填） SPACE 主炮开火（别忘了马上R装填，否则死得很惨） Q 主炮同轴机枪开火（装药间隔时间，用机枪扫射敌坦克火力压制，虽无损其装甲，但有可能打碎其观察镜使他瞄不准） [] 切换当前目标 <> 左右烟幕弹（逃跑可用） CTRL+W 十字瞄手动测距(复杂,可不用) U/I 手动测距模式刻度调整 炮手模式下的坦克驾驶 ~ 自动驶向目的地 5 前进 6 后退 7 左转向 8 右转向 1 停止 9 开向目标方向 F7 车长模式（指挥官） 基本操作 D Dual模式开关，不开D，车长只能观察不能开火，打开D，炮塔将随观察镜一起转动，可开火。但D状态切换到炮手模式时将无法调转炮口，必须取消D后才行。 T 目标标识 F8 防空机枪 基本操作 键盘上下左右（鼠标左键按下） 机枪方向 SPACE 机枪开火 （附：高射机枪瞄准镜倍率比主炮高，且位于坦克车顶，视野开阔，可用于搜索远处山脉中隐藏的反坦克炮及炮手等，并将之摧毁） F9 第三人称视角（可看到自己坦克全身，当作电影欣赏吧） F11 地图（可显示状态，前进路线，自动开火设置等） F12 截图（输出地址为游戏目录\ORT\SCRSHOTS,有的版本无效） * 每一关游戏结束，可统计自己及敌方射击精度，中弹类型，如反弹损伤，非穿刺损伤，穿刺损伤，弹片损伤，子弹损伤，击毙击伤敌方类型等 * 建议先进行单一任务训练，合格后才进入战役模式，否则会很难

Kupilem bo fajny klimat podobny do tego jak teraz na wojnie w ukrainie mam nadzieje ze wygracie ukraincy

It's a good story driven (no dynamic mission) tank sim that's marred by a number of glaring errors. Notably, the AI crew members are ABSOLUTELY BRAINDEAD. The driver is incapable of driving in a straight line, the gunner cannot spot targets right in front of him, and the commander has a habit of always looking backwards for some reason. Therefore the ONLY way to really play this is game is to play as driver, commander, AND gunner, alternating between the seats. Yet somehow, the enemy AI's accuracy is tuned WAY UP. RPG gunners never miss and anti-tank guns can shoot you through rain and fog, before you can even see them (and yes I had my night optics turned on). It's like the milsim version of Desert Bus, a game deliberately designed to piss you off. Overall not worth the effort except as a historical curiosity, an early faltering attempt at a game by the developers who would later go on to make the acclaimed Graviteam Tactics.

You can not remap the controls. Mouse is practically not used, turret turn is keyboard bound. Tank crew absolutely will not listen and you often find the driver gassing it, internally proclaiming [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR8rvnaTb9k]'Oh what a lovely day!'[/url] It's an immediate flashback to ArmA1(OFP), minus any kind of interesting narrative or variety in mission design. If you're in for some good ol'fashioned sortie with immersive weighty navigation and combat. And the novelty of mastering an alien control scheme is appealing to you.. It's a test of patience and eventually the merit is overshadowed by overbearing frustration. It's nowhere near as complicated as a flight sim like IL-2 but, I stress, you cannot remap anything.
