About 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!
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.
All tanks come with fully detailed interiors in an attempt to reproduce them as accurately as possible.
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.
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.
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.

Game has less than 20 players on at all times.1 found this helpful
I think this game is really good. The concept plays well and the gameplay is nice, but the only reason I've refunded is because the game is dead. I really wish more people would play it
great game but there is no players
One of the most fun vr games I have in my library, Would love anything from the devs just to show its being worked on. Level builder is great even though theres 1 map (haven't played in a while I could be misremembering). Good price tag but likely abandoned.
could've been something amazing if the dev didnt leave it to die
It's an amazing game but essentially abandonware. The developer hasn't touched the game in nearly 3 years, and the playerbase is basically dead. But this is the only VR game of it's kind, maybe IL-2 Sturmovik could serve as a tank sim, but this is currently the only game I know that lets you get straight into semi realistic multi crew tank combat.
