The games difficulty settings start with novice and work up from there. The view points are the most important aspect and give you ability to locate your enemy in battle and destroy him.

You will need to learn where these positions are and how to jump quickly in between them to be successful. There is a tutorial you can play to learn how to drive, command, shoot in your tank. The interface is user friendly but for a new player may be a little overwhelming with a steep learning curve. There are some problems to note with Steel Fury. The campaign will take you several hours to complete from on both sides and you can replay the missions as well for different results.

There is however, no multiplayer to speak of but with the mod tools released users can create new missions to play or download.
If you can run it on high settings you will see grass, trees, flowers and small Russian villages. Graphics are detailed but are a little dated for 2009. The audio effects in the game do a great job in giving you a sense of immersion in the battle. You will see diverse units on both sides for example half-tracks, panzers, T34's and infantry rushing to meet the enemy. The battles in the game are huge in scale. When you witness the battles you will understand why it is important to work as a team with your friendly AI mates to accomplish these objectives. The friendly AI would often complete these for you either rushing ahead and caping a area or destroying placements. I did not like the fact that you could not control when these objectives were accomplished. The campaigns both German and Russian are composed of individual missions that usually have two mini objectives each. The controls take some time to learn but if your familar with other sims then you should be able to quickly learn them or change the key configurations. The main objectives are usually marked on the map as a blue square you can toggle to show you which direction to attack. The map does not show you in detail these locations but this is how it would be in real war. The reason for this is when your playing the campaign missions especially for the first time you don't know where the unit placements are until you spot them if its not too late.
I found its better to work as a team though than to ignore the AI and go solo. Another way is to call them by radio but this can have a limited effect due to radio chatter. One way is to flag them down if they are close enough. In Steel Fury you will lead not only a tank but a AI element. The interface was impressive by listing way points and enemy placements. When you start a mission your given a objective and can use the interactive map to help command forces under your control. Since your are in a tank you will be in the lead of the attack. You can work together with the infantry to take objectives.
It also adds something I've never seen before in a sim which is useful AI. Steel Fury manages to capture all this with detailed graphics, explosions and sound effects. The Germans then decided to attack the Russians and they retreated to the east but found themselves cut off and fought for their lives to break out of the German incirclement. The Red Army countered attacked that winter forcing the German Armys to retreat to the west. The Germans had to retake the areas they lost from the pervious year during their initial attack on Russia -Barbarossa. Kharkov was a battle between the Germans and Red Army in the former Soviet Union - 1942. Your looking at a historical story that presents the horrors of war and the struggle from both sides. The difference is you have historical missions as they had in battle.
Here you have a immersive tank simulation that adds a structured campaign tp play from either side of the conflict. Steel Fury is all about fighting it out on the "Ostfront" or Eastern Front in WWII. By gijas | Review Date: FebruAfter playing LightHouse's recent tank game "WWII Battle Tanks" I was a little turned off by this recent game release due to a shallow campaign and broken multiplayer function but this time with good results.
