3 Tanks were multi crewed. The rest were single.

No lag. No issues. Objective achieved. 10% friendly losses (9) while there was 93 enemy losses.

All in all a great mission.

This Thursday night session was called....Thursday It's Tank Stuff ......

I was a gunner in a Leo2A5. Colebrook was the TC. These images are from the gunner view and most in thermal white hot.

Control Setup

There are several ways to control steel Beasts Pro. You can easily setup your controls by accessing the "Controls" menu within SB. You have many choices. This menu gives you the ability to assign vehicle specific commands how you want to:

SB Controls menu



Your input choices are:
•   Keyboard + Mouse
•   Joystick
•   Other Input Device


Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard and mouse is extremely popular and if you have used a PC for gaming in the past you will be comfortable. I use this method and find it accurate and simple to use. Below is a keyboard chart. You can reconfigure the keys as you wish.

Joystick
You can use a joystick. Some players use sticks with many buttons and allocate the different controls to these buttons. This works very well. The X52 from Saitek is a stick which would give you good control as well as the flexibility to assign commands/controls to the various buttons.


Other
There are companies that provide Hardware that is a close copy of the real controls within the vehicles. Here is one such company.

Leopard-2-Gunners-Control-Handle



Leopard-2-Commanders-Control-Handle



You could also manufacture your own device using a usb joystick card. If you are new to SB then i would recommend you try the mouse + keyboard combo first. You already have it and many find it the number one choice. Ultimately use what works best for you.
