Evaluation
Steel Armor: Blaze of War launched on March 5, 2015 and received a steady stream of feature patches throughout the spring and summer of that year, adding new missions, tank mechanics, and quality-of-life improvements. The game's one and only DLC — Steel Armor: Basra 86 — shipped on September 28, 2015, adding a large-scale Iran-Iraq War campaign with new units, equipment, and gameplay mechanics. That release represents the sole major content expansion for the game. No further DLC has been announced or listed, no roadmap or post-launch content plan has been communicated, and developer news activity ceased after September 2015. The game launched as a self-contained tank simulator and was expanded once; it has been content-complete since that DLC shipped.

About this game
Steel Armor: Blaze of War is realistic tank simulator with tactical elements.
The game is composed of two equally important parts:
The game has no fixed missions, player makes his own game which dramatically increases replayability. The goal is to win battles in any of the four operations by commanding tank units of either the Soviet, Iranian, Iraqi or Angolan army.
Each of the operations dictates its own strategies:
Depending on operation, player will have either Soviet medium tank T-62 or US main battle tank M60A1. Player can drive his tank from the driver’s station, fire from the gunner’s station, and command his tank crew and whole unit from the commander’s station. Each tank has interactive cockpit, where player can perform basic operations using a mouse: select sight, move between the crew stations, stowed position, work with the tank equipment and select the shell to load.
Player will be assigned variety of tasks:
Player can complete tasks either by commanding a single tank (tank platoon) or by commanding other units in the Tactical Map mode. Each battle brings experience points and (probably) awards to player's crew and his forces after the battle. In the Statistics Mode player can view his results, see detailed report of his and other units’ firing performance, hits and damages.

- Operational: player can choose the battlefield area, supply and reinforce his units and repair his vehicles.
- Tactical: player gets into actual battle, controls his tank and commands attached units.
