I think I saw something of this about a year ago, the actual game is supposed to come out in about a month or so - looks like an updated T72 Bof style of game, might be fun to play. Dont want to be a graphic whore, but it looks kinda nice:

Wowzers , That game has about every grafics feature that steel beasts pro misses. Dont know about the gameplay though. Probably not really any competition because sbp has so many more vehicles to offer. However is does claim to offer a dynamic campaign and crew management which will offer a very different interesting experience. Not so sure i like the fact that there is no western campaign to play with.

Will love to see those Savannah style trees on Steel Beasts. Maybe one day?

You could probably do a pretty good rendition with the tree sprites in the Terrasim folder the only drawback would be that they would all have to be placed individually on the map which would be very time consuming.

As far as I can see, they gathered their information on the T-62 from the operator's manual, which is translated into English. The main thing- TSh2B-41u telescope optics look accurately modeled. Can't tell if other nuances exist: lack of a turret basket means encumbered loading times for example.

The procedures for acquiring a target and firing is fairly complicated requiring interaction between the TC and gunner. Under normal operation, the job of ranging is accomplished by the commander- the commander calls out the range using his ranging telescope, the gunner uses the range knob to match the horizontal ranging line on the range scale accordingly. If the commander is knocked out or disabled, the gunner uses the stadia markings in the lower right of his sights. Normal operation of the crew wouldn't give the gunner free range to plug away, procedures are similar to those followed in Steel Beasts.

Commander issues ready command that commander is notifying gunner to engage a target

Commander tells gunner which ammunition type to use

Commander calls out target type, range, bearing of target (tank, 500 meters, 3 o'clock)

Gunner adjusts to commander's instructions

Commander issues fire command

Gunner mirrors commander's firing command to warn the crew of gun operation.

Original soviet documentation and assistance from former crew members were used to model T-62- so it is more or less accurate... Another story with M60A1- this vehicle is based only on very limited selection of available US manuals(including -10 series manual for M48A5)and done without input from former users, so some inaccuracies and workarounds are expected.
