- Welcome to Steel Fury Kharkov - 1942
I´m playing the game with the amazing STA mod.
Finding a downloadlink is difficult, but you can also use the JCM mod, which is based on the STA mod itself.
Link to the game:
store.steampow...
Link to a discussion on the steam forums where you might be able to find the STA mod:
steamcommunity...
dude i fuggin love you, you saved my back all the way when you made those awesome SH5 tutorials and i am new to SFK42 and look wich turorial i found. Great, already able to start playing after only finishing the driving tutorial myself. Keep it up, sincerely, a fellow german.
Schön dass ich helfen konnte :)
Thank you very much for the tutorial, and for sharing the JCM mod with us. The vanilla game is so broken that I couldn't even do the tutorial because most keys don't even function.
Yeah the vanilla game is in a sad state. A real shame.
"its a box on tracks with a gun on top of it" best description of tank ever :DD
Man the callouts editing for the keybinds was cleeeaan
Thank you!
wow thanks for that . this game should come with a link to your tutorial . I have been playing steel furry for a while but could never find a decent tutorial . now i even know how to fix tracks and replace dead crew members . my game is going to be so much more fun now . thanks for putting the link on steam community hub . this tutorial is so well explained, you should do a tutorial on how to make tutorials for those others that attempt to but just have no idea.
so many people have no idea how to teach even the most basic stuff in tutorials . thanks heaps .thumbs up and a new sub . i look forward to checking out your other vids
Thank you, that is very kind
well those who play unpatched DONT PRESS KEY T or your tank drop down the tracks so your tank become bricked.
Invaluable info, this is the video I didn't know I needed, thank you!
Edit: I mean TANK you :D
Many thanks indeed. Great video, great tutorial!
Please consider extending this tutorial by describing buttons to the left and below the compass rose. Your tutorial is already the best help to not-so-intuitive key commands in this simulation, which is the best WW2 tank thing by none. Maybe there could be more to be added (tactics: German/Russian, optics, more about the map) for 2nd part of your tutorial.
When I do a more in depth tutorial I will include those things :)
Thanks for doing that mate, excellent tutorial. Also, great advice on learning tactics, yours are pretty good. So Panzer IV campaign next week?
You guessed it :)
@@Tonci87 Cool lookin forward to it already :)
A clear and thorough explanation of the basics, thanks! I just got into this sim and I've read about the STA (now apparently called ITM) mod that you are using. Can't register on their forum, I've seen many people having this issue. Any advice?
I've basically checked every available link. It seems impossible to get the recent version of the STA/ITM mod. And registration on the forum is still closed. It's really a shame...
I wish I could help you with that. I don't know what is going on with that forum. You can try to play with the JCM mod, it is based on STA. Or you could have a look into the steam Forums. An STA link is often posted there
I see. I might search a little bit more and then I’ll probably give the JCM a shot. Thank you for your responses!
Thanks for sharing this info. Now I have another game to play besides Il tank crew.
You are welcome :)
Great idea for a video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Ty for the tutorial! Which mod version are you using here?
I think it was 4.3
@@Tonci87 Alr ty.
Thank you, great tips and information
Wow, what a nice surprise! Vielen Dank!
-It is betteh to aim vis ze maus, Fritz.
-Ze maus? Vat ah you talking about Hans?
-I'm talking about ze computah maus. You can use it to aim ze gun.
-But vat is a computah maus, und vat is a computah?
T-72 is one of my favorite games and seems very similar to this. I’ll have to give this game a try.
T72 Balkans on fire?
Its from the same developers
@@Tonci87 , affirmative! “T-72: Balkans on Fire,” “Battle Tanks: T-34 vs Tiger”, “Steel Armor: Blaze of War”, and this title - are made by the same guys. The only one I own is T-72 (aka “Iron Warriors: T-72 Tank Command”). Graphically, these games look great to me. They’re also pretty hard to master which I like.
I’m working on collecting all 4 games and building a dedicated WinXP desktop PC to play them on. Great video!!! 👍🏻
@@MusicStudent1 I hope they make a new Tank Sim at some point
Awesome VID!! Thanks bro :)
Hello there! I am truly appreciative of these SF videos! I am a bit late to SF so I'm not sure you are still responding to questions, but here's one if you are... in statistics view you seem to be able to zoom in and move the tank around to examine damage. I can't figure out how to do those things and am left looking at the tank statistics from a distance where even a good set of binoculars wouldn't help lol. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks again sir!
You can zoom and move the camera with the keys on the numpad. I hope that helped :)
@@Tonci87 Thanks! Playing on a laptop and the numpad emulation doesn't work :( Ah well, will just try to find a high powered magnifying glass to read the hit notes 🤣 Thank you anyway sir!
@@peterollendorf9065 You can also change the keybindings in the options. There is a section for external camera controls.
@@Tonci87 Ah yes, changing keybindings, of course! I am WAY out of practice on playing video games on my laptop 🤣 Thank you sir! 👍 I stumbled across the 7 key triggering a 'take cover' command... but the driver seems to do odd things as a result. Do you have any experience and/or advice regarding use of the 'take cover' action?
@@peterollendorf9065 I don´t use it
Hello There:
Great video. I've been following you for a while, SH fan here and your tutorials are the best! :-)
Any chance of getting a MOD installation tutorial? I cannot get it to work properly. STA3.4
Thanks a lot
I would do that, if STA was readily available on the Internet, unfortunately it isn´t...
@Tonci87 This one seems to be working
drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SnZnMSaPLccaGmPL5F4GfvODLOsKg40n
Yeah, I've recently retired SH5, and I've found this to be a great new adventure! Hope you've got STA going - it's worth it to setup.
How can I install the STA mod, o have the JCM version, but when I start the game a bug report screen appears whit this written ???
That sounds like you messed up your mod installation. Try to reinstall the mod by following the instructions on the JCM website to the letter.
hey Tonic
do ya reckon you could do another tutorial explaining the hud, top left and top right of the screen . also some things on the map and stuff in the option settings , Main settings, difficulty settings ,Realism settings, and Game Settings . Allied experience Enemy experience and Force Balance . also how do i know which crew members are dead before I realise my loader isn't loading anymore because he is dead . anyway I reckon that would be a very helpful tutorial for many players l if you could be bothered
Noted for a future Tutorial. Eventually your crew will tell you that a crewmember has died, however, they really take their time to do this. Usually you will notice it because e.g. the loader stops loading.
@@Tonci87 yep it takes them a while . also my German and Russian isnt very good
to bussy trying to keep the rest of the crew alive .without having to read their texts at the bottom of the screen :)
Hey Tonic .Please what's the control command called in the game options for fixing tracks , i cant seem to find anything in my keyboard options that says, repair , or fix track or anything like that .. 20:20
It is in the Crew Control section: Repair Left/right track
@@Tonci87 yep i dont have that option .i am playing STA 2.2 i FOUND IN MY GAME SETTINGS A TICK BOX AUTO TRACK Repair . thanks
Nice vid Btw do you use any mods?
Yes, I use the STA Mod
@@Tonci87 is it easy to install?
@@jimbofred4398 I didn´t read that correctly, yes it is easy to install
Thank you!
You are welcome
for some odd reason this feels much more simple to manage than sabow , but then again it could be because there arent millions of bmps and btrs and what have you driving around
It certainly has something to do with the amount of units on the field.
yeah in sabow you mainly have mech infantry at your disposal which always leaves you with a dillema on where to make them dismount or whether they should mount in the first place , and on top of that you have your own tank force to command , it feels like in sabow you would have been better off if you were put in a command vehicle of some sort since you coordinate litteraly everything from your tank without having the advantage of a birds eye view like in grav. tactics , while in steel fury you rarely command anything large , heck in some of the vanilla missions you are actually alone
Tank you so much
Could you PLEASE do a video on how to install and configure the STA mod? You don't have to tell us where to get it (already did that) but please do a step by step on how to install and configure the graphics as I cannot translate the Japanese website. You have a gift with this so I ask you to please share.
You can use the google translator to translate the website. Apart from that you need to make sure that the mod is activated in JSGME.
My modlist looks like this:
Unofficial_patch_SF_v0.1_eng
Polygons_v2.48
SSM 2.86_STA3.x
STA3.4
u08_DEC_2019
u14_APR_2020
u04_MAY_2020
VSFg_hits_effect_v1.0
v06.7_All_missions_opened_STA3.x
There are a few things that you should adjust in the config files, but that is all explained on the website
@@Tonci87 So no video? I am sorry but what is easy for you seems impossible for me! Even with translate it makes no sense.
@@jameslanz2117
Well activating the mod with JSGME is basically all that you really need to do.
Then go into the config.engcfg file in steamapps\common\Steel Fury Kharkov 1942\data\k42\loc_rus\config
and change the values for bb_wid and BB_hei to your screens resolution.
It looks like this for me with a 2560x1440 screen:
//описание и конфигурация видеоадаптера
i_render:render()
{
//адаптер
adapter = 0;
//разрешение, частота, режим
bb_wid = 2560;
bb_hei = 1440;
You can also change the LOD distance values to make units at range a bit prettier:
i_scene:scene()
{
//дистанция смены одного уровня на другой, м
lod_dist0 = 750.000000;
lod_dist1 = 1000.000000;
lod_dist2 = 0.000000;
And there you go
@@Tonci87 Thank you for this info I will try. Do you use the JCM or the STA 3.4?
Wie hast du das Mausrad zum Einstellen der Entfernung ausgewählt? Mein Spiel erkennt es nicht.
Oh, da kann ich nicht helfen, bei mir wurde es direkt erkannt. Du könntest es dir aber auch auf zwei andere Tasten legen.
Quick question, how do you get the game to look so good ? I manually changed the resolution to 1920x1080 in the game files and it still looks like crap.
I'm at work and can't respond properly. Check the comments for my last Cold Waters video "Expenditure of ammunition".
Someone has asked for help there with his Steel Fury graphics setting, and I have shared a usefull link and posted my graphics settings.
On top of that I added a lot of additional polish through the graphics card drivers
thanks :D
Hey how do you move the camera in the outside view ?
With the keys on the numpad
How did you get your graphics so high? I changed ever thing in settings and still low quality.
There is a handy guide on the website for the Japanese community mod (use google translate)
Too bad we can't find STA 3.4 anywhere. Let us know if you ever find a source.
Will do
here you go, please share it with others before the mod extinct again

@@airshark2764 Hello there. First, thanks for the link. :-) And here is my question: how do you get the MOD to work? I downloaded and tried a few things without any success.
Thanks in advance
@@Portugues1974 extract all the files on top of the main game because i dont know if its standalone, then dont change anything in the starter, the starter settings should be set to this:
common: local server
language: not english
even though the version of the mod is actually english
then the game should work, please share the line elsewhere to revive this forgotten game :))
Do you play using keys or mouse for the gunner?
A combination of mouse and keyboard. The Mouse is used for fine adjustments.
Hello, what is the function "movement on road" for? It is found in the panel on the left.
Your driver and your other units will move on the road if one is nearby and if it makes sense
@@Tonci87 Oh ok. Thank you! I sometimes activate that function. but I realized that nothing happened.
how to go into hatch view?
Hey i need some help my german gunsight doesn't have any marking how to enable the markings?
Sounds like you didn´t install the Mod properly
@@Tonci87 reinstalled every thing and now it works! But i have another problem interior of some tanks don't load like the tiger ii i have the sta 2.2 jcm mod installed
How can i rotate my camera if i switch it to third person view
Use the Numpad
can you give us graphic tutorial?
No, since every system is different and what options are available to you heavily depends on if it is a nvidia or AMD card you have
Hi How to change the camera view
F9
Hey there sir i just wanna ask on how to change the words from russian to english
im having trouble finding any videos of it
When I open SF I get a little configuration window first where I select if I want to go to the menu, or straight to the game. In there I select "not english" as the language. This applies to the STA mod. It might be different if you are using something else.
@@Tonci87 Well I didn't buy it from steam or did I download an sta mod it's just straight up steel fury 1940 something and it's all on Russian
Try searching
Steel fury menu
And on the images tab it's the picture of the game or type of game that I'm in
I couldn't find any "Language" anywhere because it's all on Russian
The shortcut doesn't have any icons on it it just straight up takes me to the menu and boom low graphics and Russian text
@@Zheckonsin OK, don´t play that game without mods. Mods do fix a loooot of issues. Get your self the jcm mod for steel fury (japanese community mod). Use google translate on this webpage, you will find lots of info on how to mod and set up the game:
wikiwiki.jp/pzfr/
@@Tonci87 I'll try it later cuz it's 4 in the mornin but thanks for replying and chatting with me :)
@@Zheckonsin Good night, and you are welcome. I always enjoy chats with my viewers :)
The sight marks dont appers at gunner scope =(
You have no marks while you are in the round scope view as the gunner? Are you running any mods?
@@Tonci87 problem only at panz4 at op Fred. Now solved when i add sta2.2 ty
I too have this problem,without any mods,only on pz iv.
CAN YOU PLAY STEEL FURY ON XBOX ? IF YOU CAN WHICH ONE ?
I don´t think that this was every released for XBOX
@@Tonci87 OK THANKS
Bro my german sight don't have the triangle thing 🗿
Can you help me fix it :)
Usually that means that something went wrong during installation of the mod, and there are fr too many variables to be able to help from afar. Make sure you follow all instructions to the letter.
@@Tonci87 oh ok thanks bro for your help
How to scoping
I fesr that I don´t fully understand your question. Do you want to know how to enter the scoped view? It is explained at 1:54
@@Tonci87 thank you i found
