Steel
Beasts is a highly accurate simulator of the US
M1A1 and German Leopard 2A4 tanks that is designed
to let players create and play scenarios of modern
armored warfare on their PCs. Steel Beasts can be
played on many different levels: from gunner in a
single tank to company commander. Any mission can
also be played over a network (e.g., the
Internet) with any combination of cooperative and
competitive style of play, including multiple
players in a single tank. Powerful and easy-to-use
scenario and map editors allow players to create
virtually any mission they can dream up.
The
individual mission (or scenario) is the core of
Steel Beasts. Each mission has three distinct
phases:
-
The
planning phase, in which a military-style text
briefing and interactive maps are presented to
the player for planning the mission.
-
The
execution phase, in which the simulation runs
in real time, and the player can experience
the virtual 3D battlefield from a first-person
point of view in the tank commander's or
gunner's position, or from an external view,
in combination with a military-style map.
-
The
debriefing phase, in which the results of the
scenario are displayed, along with key events
during the mission.
