Steel Crew
Welcome to Steel Crew!
Steel Crew is a game that is all about Tank vs Tank combat where you can join the crew of a tank together with up to two of your friends. Team up and join in on the 4 on 4 Tank battle!
Built for VR
Steel Crew is built from the ground up with VR as its focus. It does still support other inputs than motion controllers. Gamepad and mouse and keyboard are supported in both VR and on traditional screens.
Detailed interiors
All tanks come with fully detailed interiors in an attempt to reproduce them as accurately as possible.
Driver
The driver obviously drives the tank. All tanks have a manual gearbox so there will be a lot of gear shifting. The driver has a very limited view and often depends on the commander to tell them what to do. When driving with the hatch open the driver will have a much better view and can help spot other tanks but will be vulnerable to incoming machine gun fire. The driver is also the one who can see the current “health” of the tank.
Gunner
The gunner has two guns at their disposal. The main gun and a coaxial machine gun. The gunner’s view is very limited and without help from the commander and driver they will have a hard time finding a target. However the gunner has a periscope and a scope with magnification. To aim the gun (using motion controllers) there are three controls. One crank to aim up/down, another one for side to side and there is also a lever to use the powered traverse for faster but less precise aiming.
Commander
The commander has no direct input on the tank itself but has a great view of the surroundings. The commander has a few tools to help them. They are the only player in the tank with a map that shows the position as well as the position of other friendly tanks. It also shows the capture points on the map and their current status. To help the commander spot enemy tanks they are equipped with a monocular that can be used when riding with the hatch open. Just like the driver, the commander is vulnerable to machine gun fire with their head outside the tank. The commander can also call in airstrikes and talk to other commanders in the team to synchronize their attacks.

Would be an awesome game but it has almost zero players, and lacks variety in tanks and maps.

I genuinely do like this game, don't get me wrong.
Similar to a lot of people who've played this, I only have one issue, which is the lack of players in this game.
With the right amount of activity, this game has so much potential as a simulator.
I'd say some community organisation would be extremely beneficial, like a Steam or Discord group dedicated to this game, aiming to host weekly tank battles for eager players.
The game is spot on, it just needs more players is all.

This game is super fun and has so much potential, but just like all the other reviews and i hate to say it, its a dead game. I had a hard time finding a sever but it was fun when i found one. This game is fun but just doesn't have the players.

great game more players need to now about this hidden vr gem and would recommend the models of the tanks are good and the voice chat works very well executed. AI is the only down side of this game with it being to good or to easy no in between.
