I almost got Steel Armor Blaze of War when it was on sale at Christmas but just could not pull the trigger because it's single player only.
My mate recently who has SABoW remarked "if only we could all get steel beasts pro PE cheaply and all play together".

What I really want to know is if SB-PE ever has sales or if their are alternative TANK simulators that are multiplayer.

This should be an entertaining thread...

That thread is long and convoluted so the short answer is no.  eSims likes to point out you buy a cheap month at a time license.  But you will have to keep rebuying it.  And don't get me started on the dongle.

We're going to need a new book of the bible for that to apply.

My problem is that my Steel Beasts PRO PE (and dongle) is so damned old that I would need to pay full price again to update. I barely played it because none of my friends had it and I did not want to join a clan and dedicate serious time.
Then their is the other problem of it just being too expensive for my friends who would rather flight sim.
Now if steel armor was multiplayer... that would probably scratch the itch.

So these two armoured tank sims are pretty much the choices at the moment? There is nothing else?

P.S. Did SB pro get challenger and good chopper mechanics in yet?

Nope. That's about it.

The only thing it needs is a dongle with vague instructions in Ukrainian

Well...pictures of the pretty single Russian/Ukranian ladies that deliver it (and themselves) to your door would be sweet!!!  :smitten: <:-)

If they are serious Flight Simmers, that's a heck of a lot more expensive than Steel Beasts!
