Sessions and the scenario of the week are posted on the Steel Beasts forums. We also use Teamspeak to communicate.

[@joelthorstensson2772]

Can I ask why Steel Beasts is so expensive? I understand it's used by governments, but surely there should be a cheaper civillian option for (permanent) purchases?

[@PhanPhantasy]

@@joelthorstensson2772 It is actually cheaper If you were to compare it with DCS, you're paying for the individual jets and the map packs that cost more than the actual cost of the full liscenes of steel beasts which is $110 USD.

Cool Video, can't wait for part 2.

[@j.e.v.5016]

According to Tankograd article Part 1 on T-72, it has 8x optic. Abrams has 10x. Don't know if the difference is big enough to call Soviet optics low powered?

[@PhanPhantasy]

No thermals is what he meant.

[@j.e.v.5016]

@@PhanPhantasy Good clarification, and I agree. Thermals make a huge difference.

[@Grzankowsky]

Cool! Can I download this mission?

[@PhanPhantasy]

Yes you can. It's on the forums here. Just note that this is a CO-OP mission and it does require at least 1 on the Iraqi side to defend properly. www.steelbeasts.com/topic/17427-kanium-sunday-10th-of-march-prompted-breakthrough-by-swissadmiral/

Trying to use Soviet smoke grenades for defensive purposes when its designed with more then a hundred metres range. Oops.

It still worked for us.

@@PhanPhantasy Well it certainly would if the enemy was stil further out from where the smoke lands! xD

[@PhanPhantasy]

@@spamuraigranatabru1149 Sure, it's made for more offensive but it's still a tactical asset to be used, so I'm not sure why this is an issue for you. We did use smoke to move up while we were under fire.

@@PhanPhantasy Its not an issue, just something I noticed and hadn't properly written down after finishing the video

[@samanpouee5370]

For those who wondering why iranians are using eastern bloc tanks, actually by end of the iran-iraq war more and more soviet tanks and ifv were imported from china and north korea like (Chon ma) the north korean version of T62 and in the begining of the 90s and after the collapse of USSR iran bought a lot of T72S from slovenia which till day are in service in iran.

[@Postoronniy]

T-72S is not from Slovenia. It is Soviet/Russian-produced export version of Soviet T-72B.

[@10aerkhembileg84]

​@@Postoronniy did the Russians or Soviets sell it to em?

[@Postoronniy]

​@samanpouee5370 Interesting, I was not aware that Slovenia ever bought T-72S. I thought that they only had T-72 and M-84 acquired from the stocks of Yugoslav People's Army.

Radio Issues from the Start? You are really playing this on realistic mode :)

[@SwissAdmiral]

Just a quick note for you on the T72s sight Phan, at close range you have to aim a bit higher than you normally would cause the barrel and sight are so far apart from eachother. Otherwise, loved the vid and looking forward to part 2.

[@duhdardar624]

dude you remind me of growling sidewinder but for tanks lol. keep up the good work you make great videos

[@doupils6823]

That one dude needs to fix his mic. His peaking all the time and its making the viewing experience horrible.

[@sharkk127]

I would love to play this but i dont feel like paying over 100 dollars for someone to send a flash drive to my house

[@SwissAdmiral]

There's many other options as well, such as paying 10 bucks a month or 40 some bucks a year, the latter being the way I went about it

[@sharkk127]

@@SwissAdmiral yeah but I dont really like paying for a subscription, especially since I already have ghpc which given time may surpass this game

[@hellishcyberdemon7112]

​@@sharkk127Honestly, it's kind of amazing. This sim is so detailed and not micro transactioned out like digital combat Sim world. 100 bucks isn't the worst in the Sim world, it could be like racing Sims where f1 is like 800 dollars.

[@Archway16]

idk why the distribution of steal beasts is so complex

[@Phvpark]

@@sharkk127 Sorry to break to you but GHPC will never surpass this game, the IA will never be on the same level, we will never be able to command units in GHPC like in Steel Beasts (this was said by the main dev), will never have interior of tanks like this game(said by the main dev), will never have combined arms action. Steel Beasts is the Arma 3 of tanks while GHPC is the Call of Duty of tanks.

6:20 Following soviet doctrine, tanks should lead followed by infantry 300m back

Very cool. Possible to make an Iran/Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia/Kuwait mission?

So Phan could you give a try in steel armor blazes of war? You may like it, following your content latelly and its pretty nice!!

[@thejonathan130]

Were Iranian T-72's not equipped with Soviet thermal imaging?

[@PhanPhantasy]

Nope. No thermals until much later.

[@jaypolas4136]

I thought this was Gunner Heat PC! Looks the exact same. I'll check out Steel Beast. Also, I'd recommend putting it in the description.

[@PhanPhantasy]

I've mentioned it in the video. I've also put the game as game as Steel Beasts on the game title section. Perhaps it's not shown on mobile.
