Closed Beta: Update #52
Vickers S 40mm projectiles graphics. Molin S 57mm projectiles graphics.
M3 Halftrack in Soviet use did not have the soviet red stars marking. Null reference exception error when shooting with Nebelwerfer. 2D scope was not working anymore. Entire setting. Two AI freeze instances. Player body not falling over when dying from mortar shrapnel while not moving. Human players in scoreboard changing team mid game would often lead to their entry disappearing from the scoreboard until they made more kills than the worse player of the game. Map UI flags icons color would sometimes not represent the real team owning the flag. Death UI panel would not show up if you died while using a static weapon. AI medics could try to revive a player that was already being revived by another medic. AI (engineer or medic or pilot) that would be revived could generate errors if it didn't pick up a weapon very fast. AI once revived without any weapons could try to engage enemies and shoot using a hammer or a syringe which would lead to errors. Player being spectated did not show any death UI with details. AI plane issues when coming back to map.

We are a team of two, it's just my brother and I. He is the artist, he does the level design, modelling, while I am the programmer. We will welcome any constructive feedback and act on it. Don't be afraid to get in touch with us! We are listening to the players (we know what it is, we are both players before being game devs).
Our vision for the realism of this game is somewhere in the middle. You will not have to empty an entire mag to kill an enemy. You will not be able to carry a machine gun as a main weapon and a rifle as a secondary weapon. We try to stick to realistic loadouts. You will play as a pretty average soldier.
You will die very quickly if exposed to enemy fire. You will be shell shocked if you stay near a gun while it fires (seriously, don't).
Trees can be destroyed, either by shooting at them or driving them over with tanks (or crashing with planes).
Terrain can be deformed and there will be craters wherever a shell or a bomb hits the ground.
Tanks have plenty of shell types with realistic behaviours (AP, APC, APCBC, APHE, APCR, HE, HEAT...). Damage model for tanks takes into armour armour slope, armour thickness at impact point, angle of the impact and shell type. All vehicles have modules (Engine, Turret, Gun, Tracks...) that can all be damaged/destroyed. Crews can and will also be killed.
There are ricochets, and there is no limit on them, go crazy and kill with physics!
Now, what's really new about Beasts of Steel is its strategic level on top of the tactical level. On the very last screenshots you can see that there will be several campaigns consisting of maps made out of hexagons. It is turn based, but the battles can be resolved at a tactical level, as a traditional shooter.
You will have resources to manage (Steel, Oil, Rubber, Aluminium, Tungsten) in order to produce units, create armies, and capture victory points. It will play like our first game Hex of Steel, but with more resources, and battles in first person if you wish so.

Communication with the players is very important to us. Those of you who know me from our first game already know that I (as the programmer) am super fast to release patches (we're talking within the hour) when something is not working as expected, or implementing players ideas. For those of you who don't know me, feel free to read some of the reviews under our first game (Hex of Steel).
All of that to say, we value communication, and constructive criticism. If there is something bothering you in the game, or if you have a brilliant idea, let us know! We have a discord you can join to chat with us in real time (almost any hour of the day or night), or a good ol' mail.
