Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Commander

[Devilish Soldier]

August 31, 2006 - Military vehicle sims are so rare these days that you have to take what you can get. While I'm convinced that a good simulation can make money, the high level of realism and comprehensive control modeling usually turns off all but a very small number of hardcore gamers, making it a very risky proposition for publishers. And while a game like Iron Warriors certainly enlarges the sim fan's options when shopping for new games, the title's overall inconsistency certainly won't help popularize the genre. Iron Warriors lets players fight for the Serbs against the Croats in a series of fictional missions set during the 1991-1993 war in Yugoslavia. In addition to driving the 35-year-old Russian T-72 tank, players will also have the chance to drive the T-34 and T-55 tanks and command a variety of other mechanized support forces. Loads of missions and a full-featured editor are included. The game ships with multiplayer but good luck finding someone online to play with. We can only assume that the features work.



The missions have a nice variety, tasking players with seeking out enemy positions, defending installations from attack, escorting civilians through hostile territory and a host of other activities. Though the missions aren't terribly long, the skill, persistence and number of your enemies will often force you to restart a mission again and again before you complete it. (There are no checkpoints here.) While I don't mind being ambushed by an RPG-wielding soldier crouching in the grass, I was a little aggravated at the pinpoint accuracy of some of the anti-tank gun emplacements scattered throughout some of the levels.

While I don't mind being ambushed by an RPG-wielding soldier crouching in the grass, I was a little aggravated at the pinpoint accuracy of some of the anti-tank gun emplacements scattered throughout some of the levels. The mission briefings are a bit vague as well. Sure, you'll understand the general plan but you'll often be confused by the actual purpose of some of your objectives. The fact that some of your waypoints are labeled "ambush" or "minefield" definitely helps keep you oriented but it tends to remove some of the surprise. On the plus side, most of the enemies here are very mobile, so you'll spend a lot of time reacting to their movements.
Unfortunately, the game's tutorial and manual do very little to explain the operations of the tank, leaving it up to the player to discover much of it through trial and error. As the saying goes, experience keeps a costly school, and the developers certainly could have made our introduction to the interface and control scheme easier through better documentation.

Ovo se kod nas igralo 2005 u jesen ako se dobro sećam.
Glasovna gluma je čista 0 ,grafika je okej (bila za 2005,danas je vec malko...stara),zvučni efekti opet ok,muzika bljutava ,komande kuku lele,itd..mnogo ups and downs što bi rekli...

Pored ovih novijih simulacija tenkova koje su se pojavile skorije ( T34 vs Tiger i Kharkov 1942:Steel Fury) ova igra,nažalost,nema šta da traži.Po meni čak je i stari dobri Steel Beasts iz 2000.bolji u atmosferi i svemu drugom ,osim u grafici ,od T72.

Ako hoćete ultimate realizam i grafiku ,a volite moderne tenkove onda je jedino (nažalost) dobro rešenje SB Pro PE za koji se treba raseći dobrih 120$ ,ali vredi svakog centa(bacite pogled na sliku)..

Nažalost dok developeri ne izcede i poslednju kap iz njega neće se početi sa duuuugo najavljivanim SB2 .
Izvinjavam se ako sam otišao u OT.. Iznerviram se svaki put kad vidim kakva je situacija sa tenkovskim simulacijama..
