Companion Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 ...wasn't it "free to play"?....Just in case that's not a sarcasm-It's good old "free to play, pay to win" model.Of course the PR dept. and fans want to renounce the latter bit but you'll know soon enough after a glimpse of game mechanism and economy.For instance, the game allow players to buy shells that perfrorm conveniently just above the protection threshold of commonly encountered opposing tanks at the cost of extra in-game currency. Then, the game offers various options, only available through hard cash, to support the player with his in-game economy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted May 30, 2013 Members Share Posted May 30, 2013 I wonder can the troops fight from inside the BTR-50If you mean to shoot their rifles from the open hatches? Sure. Just like from any other vehicle with roof hatches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like from any other vehicle with roof hatches.Excellent.Even though having such a large open area around the crew compartment.Has both advantages and disadvantages lets hope the infantry in the update cant throwMolotov's or hand grenades.LoL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 No, you aren't seeing things. Has application to other pieces of "terrain" too, I'm thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Leader Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 A couple of other things of interest I noticed in the screenshots that may or may not have been commented on by others:Civilian casualties on the road in this one - http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/sbgallery/main.php?g2_itemId=17379&g2_imageViewsIndex=1Transparent windows in the building to the left in this one - http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/sbgallery/main.php?g2_itemId=17395&g2_imageViewsIndex=1All in all this is shaping to be an outstanding upgrade and we're not even done yet... :debile2: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job programmers and artists. That BTR-50 looks great. Russian hardware always welcome! And those shadows go way beyond what I expected them to look like; even the barrels of the Shilka are casting shadows! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their presence will add an interesting dynamic in an AO. I was wondering what those small black things scattered on the road were also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted May 31, 2013 Members Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think I took that screenshot with default US uniforms.Speaking of which, with multiple sides we decided to change a few habits in SB Pro as well. In this case I'm referring to camouflage selection. You already know it for uniforms, but in principle that can also be applied for vehicle textures. We will still deliver only a generic woodland, winter, and desert texture, but in the mod folder you could place different woodland textures for say, North Korea or Indonesia. We will probably also offer an "official mod" package for download installing some of these additional textures, but we can't do it for every single vehicle and every single climate type. So, you no longer select just uniform looks in the corresponding menu, but in principle also those for the (military) vehicles of a side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisenschwein Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Why is there 2 guys sitting in the middle of the vehicle while all the others are doing something?! Answer to BD Question, so I think there is not enough Space for all the 20 Grunts. So 14 of them have nothing to, not only 2 of them as BD metioned.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could watch the back of the vehicle, it looks like there still a place for at least one of them But yes, you are right, i forgot the 12 others in the back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I was doing some research on the BTR_50PK. Some of them have a pintle mounted MG's of various calibers I was wondering if we will have the option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
