True. And also from easter Europe in general. Like Silent Hunter III which is made by a Romanian team.

I must say it also looks absolutely spectacular:

Could well be 'IL2 of the seas'.

Wow, that preview is fantastic, theres a game i would fly to the stores to buy, though the recomended specs seem a bit too high (2.8), really hope this gets published worldwide and that they include good MP support in it.

Looks like absolutely amazing material, stuff like this i would like to see out there instead of all the action/sports and other bs games that infest the market.

Im very impressed with the preview .

When your tank gets fatally hit you’ll see hatches pop open and the crew bail out. They’ll fight with AK-74s, though you have no control of them; this ain’t Operation Flash Point.

Well hopefully this game will also be released in English.

Hopefully it'll be possible to modify it too. I'd love to go for a ride in a Challenger 2 in a proper sim

Battlefront.com, the people who brought you the Combat Mission series, are going to publish this game now. I think probably for the US and other non-Russian markets.

Sounds like they're going to do some "quality control" on it too.

I trust Battlefront, so I know I'll probably be buying this game now.

[Colossus 2]

I think I'll buy it too.

I beleive this is a english version of the demo

I haven't tested it yet, so I don't know.

you're so right. you only see all kinds of crap these days. shooting warehouse sized ants with nukes from 50ft and so on.

some sport games are fine tho.

This is excellent news!

I just ordered Dangerous Waters from Battlefront. looks like I've got to put up another order for T72-BOF.

There seems to be no info though when it's ready for distribution in the 'west'.

Well they said the Russian version is at v1.2 and the "western" version is in beta testing already. Not too much longer, methinks.

Having tested that link (after downloading >500MB) I found out its in russian.

Damn, sorry about that.

EDIT: (Instead of making two post I figured to add it here)

Just finished the download and I can't open the game

Start.bat starts and then the program collapse.

I see they "corrected" "Balkans In Fire" with "Balkans On Fire".

Yes it Russian but i think it is a bit newer version than the first one.

It finally got to me

How do you kill that sherman in the first t34 mission? It can take anything no matter where I hit it.

[Blake 0]

Maybe you're using high-explosive ammo, try loading armor-piercing round.

[Leveler 0]

I am using sabot (the first loadout?). I have tried HEAT but it doesnt work either. I have only managed to smash the tracks, nothing else.

[hellfish6 7]

Maybe it's best to ask on the T-72 forums?
