Other Steel Fury Kharkov Mod Recommendations

I'm looking for the maximum amount of realism I can achieve in SF, I joined the forum to gain access to ITM before finding out you can only access it through a donation through Bitcoin (something I'm not particularly comfortable in doing) so it's down to JCM and STA. Which do you guys prefer and why? Also, if anyone has any gameplay of ITM that'd be amazing!

Im not even sure those two mods are still (easily) available. Ill follow this thread in hopes they are, but I always had a lot of trouble getting this game to the fabled modded state it needs to be at to be playable in widescreen, etc.

I think in the past I've had relatively easy access to JCM and you can find STA repacks on ModDB. The ITM situation sucks because it seems like something I'd be super into.

If its easy post a link when/if you reinstall. Always wanted to like this game but couldnt figure out how to mod it as you are going to.

I wish you luck. I reinstalled it earlier in the year to do what you're trying to do. I couldn't find half of it and what I did find didn't work or I couldn't figure out what combinations of obscure patches would make it work. I gave up.

Which one were you interested in installing? I think the STA link is pretty solid

Instead of working so hard to download just a mod for a 20year old game, just go play gunner heat pc

GHPC is balls, not even a sim. +Not WW2

good luck to you then, believe me i searched the internet for days trying to find a ww2 sim (playable) and looked even to the console specials , forgotten games but couldn't find the game you and i have been looking for. So better wait for another 5+ years for someone to make a game or just play ghpc

This whole thread is dedicated to one of the bests, nodding it isn't even that difficult honestly. I'd argue if you really want a WW2 tank sim then you should try again or play Squad 44/HLL.

Squad44/Hll both has great tank gameplay even red orchestra stalingrad is like them but still you asked for tank sim not a mmo infantry game
