It's 1989

Oh boy this brings back some good memories. Well Steel Thunder isn't going to win over any hardcore simulation snobs, but they're missing out on a really fun game. Sure it sacrifices some realism for that fun, but it still features some authentic tank controls, and animations. As the Tank Commander you can choose your missions, as well as your crew, Gunner, Driver, Loader. You also choose from four vehicles. M1A1 Abrams, M2 Bradley, M60A3 and M48 Patton. While on those missions not only as the TC do you give orders to your crew, but you can also take control of their positions as well, In summary Steel Thunder is a fun tank simulation

I Don't Know

So the DLC doesn't seem bad, but I am setting it down half way through and not going back to it. My priority was definitely going the non lethal route, which would require dismissing all animal companions. . .Except some, like Poultron or the bot that speaks Russian, cannot be dismissed. Either are powerful enough on their own to take down workers in the factory. So I am stuck either resolving the main quest in a way I find unsatisfactory or waiting for them to (hopefully) introduce a fix. I can't believe this was launched without any consideration given to this particular aspect. I mean, either put something in base at the menagerie were all pets can be crated en masse, or introduce an NPC after the scrapyard has been clear who will hold them there with a single dialogue interaction. Better than any of those suggestions would have been a trainer maybe with a question line who could teach them non lethal take downs, and someone in the plant R&D who could reprogram the robots for similar effect. I am not saying the game is broken, but it sure as hell isn't worth it for me to play as it is. I would have to start a whole new game and then avoiding taking any pets until I played this DLC and I am not in any hurry to do that.
