Don't Take Your Tank to No-Tank-Country

I just bought the V2.538 upgrade for Steel Beasts ProPE (link opens a pdf with the release notes).

There new AI-controlled tanks and vehicles plus improvements to the engine. The new map objects that you can add within the editor sound great. Yet I hadn't try any of those yet. Hell, I have a lot of to-play scenarios yet!

Just to prove how rusty I am after the summer hiatus, the screenshot below shows me in the middle of a hopeless tanker blunder. I was trying to infiltrate (LOL, how do you infiltrate a 60+ ton behemot like the Abrams tank?) through a patch of woods and I was caught by enemy tanks who diligently dispatched me ... from the comfort of their prepared position located 3 Km away.

 When there is very little room to maneuver out of trouble ... who is the first crew member to get killed? The driver!

Cheers,

Ey UsF,
Thanks for your comment. The AI has a goddamn great position there. I wouldn't blame them! :)

Cheers,
