Streamlining Controls for Steel Fury Kharkov 1942

If you love both Steel Fury Kharkov 1942 and Steel Armor: Blaze of War but find switching between their different controls a hassle, this guide is for you. I've updated the key binds in Steel Fury to match those in Blaze of War, making it easier to jump from one game to the other. Now you can enjoy both games with a consistent set of controls, making your gaming experience smoother and more fun.

Intro

So I only recently picked up the game, and since I had already played SABOW quite a bit, I was a little frustrated at how different the controls are in Steel Fury. So I tried to align the keys in this game to be more in line with SABOW, that way it is easier to switch between the two games, and I thought maybe someone else might also benefit from it, so I decided to upload it to make other people's lives easier as well.

If you have any suggestions or anything that I might have missed, let me know.

I finally got around to uploading the SABOW guide, you can check it out here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3350609305

[Cynicus Nihilisticus Paradoxus]

Sure I can do it, I'll put it on my to do list, not gonna get to it this weekend though

[chrisscoula]

Could you upload the same table with controls for SB?

[Cynicus Nihilisticus Paradoxus]

No, it does not seem to do anything. Maybe it's editor only?

[chrisscoula]

I've understood now, it's SF controls list.
Do you know what does "Activate console"?

[Cynicus Nihilisticus Paradoxus]

As for SABOW, I currently play with the default Keyboard config

[Cynicus Nihilisticus Paradoxus]

Not sure what you mean by port list. I changed everything myself just to try and get it more in line with SABOW. But there are some discrepancies that I need to fix.

Thanks man, I've already made a personal sound mod for the Matilda hehe

[chrisscoula]

So, this is port list for SB from SF? AFAIK, Space is gun shoot, Enter MG shoot. Then mind you upload your SB keyboard config?

BTW
As for sound, look over the folder: Steel Fury/root/programs/
