T-72: Balkans on Fire

[Jezz 0]

well they both have tanks . Seriously the tank models dont look all that good, fairly low poly polygon and textures arnt to great. compare kenjis t-62 with there t-55 not the same tank but you will see there is huge gap in the detail of models for a game thats meant to simulate tanks they arnt great. Though alot of the features do look very nice such as the tanks being able to dig in hopefully the gameplay will surpass the graphics

If the price is cheap enough, I might try it.

It looks and sounds really interesting, but I think I'll wait for the demo before ordering it. You never know especially with unknown devs, the game might be a huge RAM hog/generally run like crap and look like crap.

The game doesn't look so impressive from the movies that it could justify the "recommended" system specs (Still, I have almost exactly those, only more RAM, so it should work fine ).

Looks bad, maybe it plays better than it looks but so far im far from impressed, also those landscapes look so empty and dead .

edit: It looks like those alpha/early flashpoint shots when the engine was still in development..

Nice list of features but one can't compare this with OFP.

Nice list of features but one can't compare this with OFP.

Why WOULD you?

OFP - Infantry combat simulator with very arcadish vehicles

T-72 BOF - Tank combat simulator.

Apples and oranges. OFP is for when you want to play a grunt, this game will be for when you want to play a tanker. Unless this thing is a huge screwup, I think we can safely assume comparing OFP's tank behaviour to what we can expect from a dedicated tank sim would be like comparing Crimson Skies to IL-2.

I wonder how it will compare to Steel Beasts?(In terms of realism, not graphics.   )

One can't compare between the two because the 2 simulators are completely different, OFP isn't specialized in a precise field contrary to T-72 which's its purpose's to make discover the T-72 a bit more...

Both of Engines seem totally different too, but they are based on the same thing though , The realism

[hellfish6 7]

Was just about to post that. I downloaded it, but won't have time to play it till tonite.

[Heatseeker 0]

Downloading, i hope i wont be wasting my time here .

edit: time wasted, its terrible .

[InqWiper 0]

It crashes during graphics initialization. any tips? I got x800xt

Hmm, is this game really heavy or is something wrong? Im running it on a 1.8GHz duron/1024MB/9600XT.

[Heatseeker 0]

2.4 gig/1gig ram/6600GT, the demo runs really bad for no aparent reason, the water looks bad and weird, the sky is very low res. and the landscapes are empty, half a dozen trees and grass rendered only on a 50M diameter, the gameplay seemed ok but in this condition the game is just terrible, if it ran better it could be ok but like this it just aint worth it. I'll try it again with everything on lowest settings just because im bored and have nothing to play right now .

Got equal specs as Heatseeker and it seems really laggy ingame (especially zoomed optics). But, it's hell of a game, with English language it's easy to play

[hellfish6 7]

Played the demo.. don't know if it's my thing yet.

[tankieboy 0]

unplayable.

[Gollum1 0]

What kind of laggy toyland from 2000 is this engine trying to portray? Looks like crap, performance is crap, no immersion, no excitement to be seen yet...I can't see this developing to be anything but a bore-a-thon yet but maybe I'll give the demo missions another shot.

[tankieboy 0]

M1TP2 is better than this pish...

[Daniel 0]

Hey, M1 Tank Platoon is a very good game.

[Colossus 2]

Even this game here might be better then T-72.

[king homer 1]

Played a bit with the setting.... and now it's lagfree! 60FPS and it still looks very nice (with Anti Alising of course).

Sad I can't get it, I've got no credit card!

[DracoPaladore 0]

Played a bit.

Seemed kinda Iffy. Not what I really expected
