[QUOTE=Doom14;52393396]It's a game from Graviteam which means it's going to be extremely and exhaustively realistic/mechanics heavy. I know this one has an individual crew controls gimmick, but you might want to start with [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/275290/Graviteam_Tactics_Operation_Star/"]Operation Star ($6; 80% off)[/URL] and see if you like the franchise first. The whole line of games are niche [I]and[/I] DLC heavy which means it gets rather expensive all around.[/QUOTE]
Don't really see how Operation Star mirrors Steel Armour, since one is a company-command game and the other is a tank-sim. I'd probably think it's more in lieau of the DCS series of flight sims in terms of attempting to be as true to life as possible with controls, but I'm honestly not sure.

It's named after this

It cannot be anything less
I kind of wish someone would make a tank version of DCS. I know DCS has a ground forces module, but I've heard it isn't any good compared to the aircraft.
The problem with Steel Armor is that it only has two tanks you can control. But there's always Steel Beasts if you're willing to fork over the money for the license to own it.
I really hope the Caenarvon is half decent, its the third British tank I've unlocked this year I think. (Fml the grind)

I can almost taste the APDS.
Edit: Why the fuck is it that if I loose 3 crew of my 4 its gg? I thought crew replacement was meant to stop the crap from happening.

That only works in AB. In RB, you can only crew replenish on a captured point and I'm pretty sure it doesn't auto-fire if you're parked there and lose all but one crew, meaning you die anyways.

Yeah, but its fucking horrible to get to.

I am pretty sure it does work on your cap in RB or at least used to.

Carnarvon is an excellent tank. IS-6 is tough but it wouldn't be half as good if people didn't panic and actually dealt with them thoughtfully. That said, until you get the APDS, If you face an IS-6 it's perfectly legit to retreat, ideally flank him.
I love defensive positions in SBs

Do you have the Cent 10? Welcome to it again, slightly faster, smaller, and poots faster. It's worth it, but the gameplay is so identical I went back to the M60A2 instead. :v:

XAXAXA totally balanced soviet ammo.
Also I still like the Type 62, it's pretty much a M41 with way better ammo, so if you get it into a flanking position, it eats everything alive.

im looking to go down the cent line after i get the vickers
If you find yourself enjoying the Vickers MBT I wholeheartedly recommend buying a talisman for it and you will be shocked by how quickly you unlock the rest of the tree.
I bought a talisman tor Centurion Mk10 and the rest of the British tree just kind of unlocked itself.
[editline]27th June 2017[/editline]
If you do get the talisman make sure to get an Experienced Crew for it asap as well so the massive troves of RP you gonna get slowly groom you towards free Ace Crew (I did get that on Cent 10)
Millan's 100% on this.
When you find a 7.0-8.0 tank you really like or know how to work, it's much better spending $15-20~ for a talisman on that than fucking $50+ for a 6.7-7.0 prem.
Having one on the Leopard 1 basically unlocked me every German V without much issue.
God, the only reason i did remotely well in the british tree was buying the STRV-81, cent mk3 with ATM's yespls.
But yeah, i will probably get a talisman for it

Me and Dubeard played some SB, we were just scouting stuff behind a ridgeline, when we spotted an M46. It didn't spot us though.

Poor bastard drove straight to his doom.
Also love how much the T34-100 jerks when firing.
Managed to pull a sick nasty flip with my panther the other day.

ive been playing this game some recently and its fun but i kinda suck at controlling planes.
can someone explain to me what flaps do? or when to use them?

Landing/Takeoff flaps are for what they're named after. They slow you down a ton and give you extra lift so that you can approach the runway/get off the runway at lower speeds.
Combat flaps also slow you down, but they will generally also increase your turning radius. So you only want to use them when you're in a turn fight or at the apex of a loop. Don't overuse them or you'll bleed all your speed and never use them when boom and zooming (using diving attacks).
Alright cool, thanks. I've been using the IJN fighters, so I guess I should probably get more accustomed to using the combat flaps, haha.

Combat and Takeoff flaps also slightly increase the rate of climb of your aircraft (Depends on the aircraft and number of upgrades). Don't be afraid to use them to get higher faster.
Also, some aircraft (Looking at you, Spitfire line) only have two flap settings: Off, and Landing. If you quickly tap the Flaps button to the "on" and "off" positions, you [I]can[/I] turn them into improvised combat flaps, but you risk ripping your flaps off.
Finally, you can customize your key binds so you can toggle between Up/Takeoff/Combat/Landing flaps quickly. Use these options as you see appropiate. In a pinch, even Landing flaps might get you that perfect shot at an enemy aircraft. Just be careful to not rip your flaps off in the process. Flaps are very delicate things.
You probably won't have to use them much with Japanese planes, at least not in the early tiers. They already outturn everything else in the game.

Yeah I suppose you're right. But I will still try to keep them in mind rather then just forget about them and never know what they're good for.

[B]What?
[/B]No, they absolutely don't do that. Flaps decrease efficiency of your wing. Your lift is a bit higher but at disrproportionally high cost of drag. Many wing profiles are actually more agile with flaps tucked in, which is exactly why for instance Spitfires and Typhoons don't have a "combat flap" setting - it's not cheapness or the plane being "good enough" without combat flaps - the flaps make the aircraft literally fly worse outside of the very specific conditions of needing to go as slow as possible to not kill yourself while you land.
The only case in which this would be true would be if your propeller is horribly inefficient at the speed where your wing is efficient or vice versa (totally not the case) with any of the aircraft in the game. And maybe with some crazy supersonic fighters with razor thin wings that perform like arse at subsonic speeds (except some of them are most efficient at speed climbing just by pitching up at 90 degrees and pretending they are a rocket).
Get two ace-games in a row where I'm top tier. Think "Shit's going well, I'mma activate a 150% booster!". Start a match, get bottom-tiered, shitty fuckin' Ash River map and then sniped within the first two minutes of match.
Every fuckin' time.

Ez fix if they'd let you apply a boost to a match after it was completed, so you can pick and choose where you wanna use that boost.

If anything, that would be a massive reason for people to buy boosts.
