Steel Front

Steel Front is a 3D World War II tactical shooter with battles based on historical campaigns. You can fight on foot, take command of a heavy tank or climb into a fighter plane, and the best results come from using all of them together with your squad instead of treating it as a lone-wolf shooter.

Campaigns From Normandy to Stalingrad

Battles are spread across different fronts of the war, such as Normandy in 1944, the winter streets of Stalingrad in 1942 and Berlin in 1945. Each one has its own terrain and objectives, which affects how you should approach it. Open ground favors vehicles and long-range weapons, while ruined streets push the fight down to infantry at close quarters.

Choosing a Class Before You Deploy

Before a battle you choose a class, and your role comes with it. Riflemen and submachine gunners do the main fighting, snipers work from a distance, medics keep the squad going, and anti-tank soldiers deal with armor. Mortarmen and engineers add support. When your team is short on something, filling that gap usually helps more than picking your favorite.

Separate Controls for Soldiers, Tanks and Planes

On foot, WASD moves you, Shift sprints and the space bar jumps. Aim with the mouse, shoot with the left button, reload with R and switch weapons with 1 to 3. E lets you interact and get in or out of vehicles. In a tank, WASD drives, the mouse aims the turret and the left button fires. In an aircraft, WASD controls pitch and roll, Q and E work the rudder, the left button fires, and the right button or B drops bombs.

Fighting Smarter With Armor and Artillery

Ballistics are realistic, so where a shell lands matters. Try to hit a tank from the side or rear rather than from straight ahead. Mortars can bombard positions that are hard to reach, and anti-aircraft guns are your answer to bombers overhead. Keep infantry close to your tanks, since each one protects the other's weak spots.
