WhiteKnight77 1 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 T-72: Balkans on Fire! is a new tank sim from Battlefront. I am downloading the demo now and will try it out. Looks really nice from the screenshots I have looked at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jack57 0 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 In the (updated) demo the AI tank can see you thru trees and fog way before you are able to do same - gets frustrating quite quickly Could be quite good for MP though. Feels very realistic to drive - not that I've driven any tanks recently Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Buehgler_AS 0 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Jack, try looking for him with your thermal scope.. You can spot him through the tress relatively easily. Of course my frame rate tanks when I switch to any of the thermal sights, and that wipes out my ability to aim. As best as I can tell the AI gunner isn;t very good at aiming either -- I think it took me about 4-5 tries before I managed to disable the demo opponent. Overll, I found the idea of this realy interesting. However, for the life of me, I have not been able to discover how to maintain any situational awareness at all in this game. Whenever I switch roles, I'm completely unsure where I am looking, and I am yet to discover how to issue driving commands that get decent results while I am commanding or gunning. Just adding a little icon of the tank that tells me which way my turret is pointing would make this much more tractable. Anyway, given the apparent importance of the thermal sights, and the horrid performance I get with them I'm not rushing out to get this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
