Red2112 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 This sim Is kind of forgotten by some and by others not, reason why I am posting, and because personally I don´t think It´s a bad sim either. I recently found a mod (by Castello) and will be trying it out. The link to the mod Is on the Graviteam forum. It´s In Russian but you can use Google Translate to figure it out. We are having Initial Impressions/conversations on the mod over at SimHQ which you can follow If you like, and/or just post your thoughts here to help others with the mod or what ever. Graviteam forum: https://graviteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=12114.0 SimHQ thread: https://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/4589521/m1tp2-v-steel-beasts-gold#Post4589521 For starters It looks a lot better then the original, and there seems to be some good Improvements done to the overall game Including the addition of a M1 Abrams.

Mirzayev Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Not to diminish their work or anything, but why add a Panther A to a game which is set during the Yugoslav Wars of the 90s? Just to add something for the T-34-85 to fight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sounds like a lot of work to play a game that was mediocre on release....15 years ago. I'd rather just use the beautifully modelled T-72 that we have in Steel Beasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I did own a demo of the game back in the day. found it very immitted, The only thing i did like was the way the crews bailed out after the tank brewed up. drop and roll.

Just to add something for the T-34-85 to fight? I have no Idea! I though about the same thing with regards to the Panther. @Apocalypse 31 Maybe to play the campaign, or for a change, or for what they can offer later? Besides, people play War Thunder why not play this Instead. We have what we have In tank sims. If there a slight chance of anything getting better, why not take it. Heck there trying to mod M1TP2 so why not give the IW T-72 mod a chance too. Some people still play the moded version of Panzer Elite (I did at a time), there´s people for everything and like I said, we don´t have a ton to choose from either. 😁 Edited January 17, 2022 by Red2112 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zloy.technic Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This is my video I'm not the developer of this mod, I just made a review. Panther and Abrams have not been added yet. The developer plans to add them. And the panther appeared like this: someone on the forum asked if it was possible to add a Panther. And since the engine is very old, it was with the panther that difficulties arose. (Too many rollers). The author simply took it as a challenge. sorry for bad english 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red2112 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thanks! Any chance there will be English support for the mod? Or a guide In English on how to Install and use the mod? Your English Is ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zloy.technic Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The modification does not affect the localization files. So with a high probability it will be launched on the international version. The author provides support in Russian. But I can try to help. Over the weekend I will be able to check the functionality of the mod with the English version, write installation instructions and perhaps a small FAQ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mod will be installed on any version, but with minor differences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red2112 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 I have the Steam version. I Imagen most will have this version as most PC´s don´t even have a CD/DVD drive any more. But one can still find a CD/DVD second hand copy of IW If needed to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejawolf Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) it had the benefit of being the first T-72 simulator on the market. and for its time it probably had the best driving simulation of any AFV sim. the gunnery left a few things to be desired tho. and interface was.. confusing to put it mildly.

Experimentally, I set that the localization is partially stored in the datapack.cd archive. I don't have an archiver for this type. So you have to wait until the developer makes a fix. In Russian, there are only control settings. The default control is available in the manual. The default controls are very strange, but given that the developer's studio was called "Crazy House" everything is quite logical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zloy.technic Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) The developer helped solve the problem with pieces of the Russian language. It wasn't the archive. Here is a fix that you can put directly on top of the version that you currently have. Eng menu fix.rar If you meet any other bugs, write about it here.

Red2112 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 The Eng menu fix doesn´t work on my end. I did a clean Install, added the mods and everything else works but the menu when you hit the esc key Is still In Russian, and so are the tank panels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red2112 Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 BTW and for the record... - There´s a CFG (.bat file) In the game directory with which you can set game settings and realism. Make sure you hit the OK button before you close it. - There´s also a editor to create your own missions. Also found In the main game folder and goes by the name of "missed" which Is also a .bat file. So you have CFG.bat and missed.bat.
