#Wargames (Regiments, Warno, WiC, Wargame series etc.)

Really excited for the upcoming regiments dlc, it looks like it'll be a lot of fun
chrome ridge
Yeah, it´s a big package with lots of new nations, vehicles and a new campaign (IIRC). Regiments is really top-notch so my hopes about the DLC are high, as well.

GHPC?

Yes, finally picked it up during the last sale. Really good, but pretty unforgiving.

snagged CM:BS, I'm quite enjoying it so far

chrome ridge
Nice, you can't get a more hardcore game on tactical combat than CM. I bought it years ago and found it pretty good, if challenging, especially in real time mode. You're playing turn based?
drifting cloak
Yeah, there's not enough wego games out there, I'll always play wego if I can

and in a shocking turn of events, it turns out strikers don't fare well when ambushed by an mbt
it's honestly kinda refreshing (if frustrating) to have everything go swimmingly, then the moment I think I've got a handle on things all my 'armor' gets schwacked by t-90s within seconds of each other

WARNO has recently received its first small campaign with the latest GROUCHY update and I gave it a look on Youtube. The Bruderkrieg campaign seems to be quite well made, has anyone here tried it yet? And is WARNO generally a good purchase? I've played various EUGEN games before so their concept isn't too new to me.
drifting cloak
I've not played the new campaign but I've got warno, it's alright but as someone who was hoping for wargame 4 it was pretty disappointing, it's really more steel division three
chrome ridge
Recently I quite enjoyed SD2. In what ways did you dislike WARNO? From what I've seen on the 'Tube it involves quite a lot of micro-management, especially compared to Regiments.
drifting cloak
it's micro heavy (similarly with other EUGEN stuff) but I suppose my biggest gripe is the system of divisions that's lifted wholesale from steel division. I always really enjoyed deck building in the Wargame series divisions make deckgame far more limited.
drifting cloak
I can't wait for that dlc
chrome ridge
The more we see of it the better it looks. Will likely be a Day 1 purchase. I recently also came across this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1286220/Sea_Power__Naval_Combat_in_the_Missile_Age/
Looks fantastic, too and very well made, as well.
drifting cloak
yeah I'm really hoping it'll be a worthy successor to cold waters

Tbh, never played that title. My knowledge of naval warfare is also very limited, but what the devs of Sea Power showed off so far looks really interesting. There are also some wargames set in WW2 Pacific in development that look pretty interesting.

It was a really fun cold war subsim, I've heard the devs world war 2 game is pretty decent as well though I've not played it

finally, been waiting for this for ages
drifting cloak
Yeah i'm super excited
sand nexus
I really hope it's just as good as Cold Waters when it comes to submarine warfare
If not better
I want to be able to drop decoys and form knuckles and sneak around below the thermocline

https://youtu.be/Po18Ilk5YFk?si=-_sUWOPS3GWwu8Az someone's recorded sub gameplay
It looks like it's a bit more abstracted and you've got less granular controls than cold waters
sand nexus
yeah, I saw that - I'm still happy with it
I don't feel like I need keyboard control over the sub to enjoy it
I'll sort of miss the old "which sonar picture does this line up with" minigame
but I guess it makes sense that it's something your sonarman would take care of, it'd not be the captain's responsibility
at the very least, it looks like the level of systems depth is still there, plus they have towed sonars by default now, and they seem to have brought in the guy from DotMod and some of their ideas, which is very promising
drifting cloak
I think for subs I'll probably stick to cold waters, I like the granular control. I do like that they're adding more than just the us and soviet subs though, another video showed 205s and 206s in the armory
sand nexus
I'm hoping that they'll include enough stuff to do the Falklands

chrome ridge
^The most terrifying aspect of naval combat.
There are so many videos out for the game, from all sorts of creators, it´s crazy. Thank God I´m in Japan in October, early November, otherwise the suspense would kill me. Unbelievable, that the game takes another ~ 1 1/2 months until release, it looks so good.
sand nexus
I'd probably pay for what seems to be there now, honestly
From chatting to Enigma, it seems that the misison editor is already in
drifting cloak
I'd probably pay for what seems to be there now, honestly
Yeah same
From what I see in the videos it looks like a lot of the quality of life stuff is what's remaining, some bug squashing, unit descriptions, tutorials(?) Etc...
But what's there so far looks really good
I really hope we get a falklands dlc though
chrome ridge
It does indeed look very advanced for an early release, even appears to be in a state where other games would´ve been released already. From binging a few videos it could indeed do with some QOL stuff, like less fiddly controls, though. Will be interesting too see the amount of last minute polish the devs will add.
The modding and scenario builders scene will hopefully be thriving, the game looks like THE perfect sandbox platform for that. I´m personally totally in the market for a modern-day South China Sea setting.
sand nexus
Agreed. Plenty of interesting scenarios I can think of would fit this game very well. As I said before, the Falklands conflict would work very well, as well as the various Arab-Israeli wars, maybe a fictional Kuril Islands dispute as well.
drifting cloak
I really hope they do something to simulate the lifespan of these ships, they've got the permit class for example but do they have a mk37 and hull sonar only version for the 60s? Stuff like that
chrome ridge
Oh yeah, different versions of ships would be cool. I'm not sure that's something the devs are implementing right now but might be done by the modding community.
Wolfpack made a really good video some days ago, showing off a mission he created in the editor. Feels very Tom-Clancy-esque and cinematic at times. 😄
sand nexus
I'm happy that they matched the correct squadrons to the carriers, presumably by date
drifting cloak
Yeah, it looks really cool
sand nexus
Yeah Enigma's been learning sonar stuff for a little while now, glad to see it paying off
I'm hoping that there are whales and fish like in cold waters, to give you false positives
drifting cloak
Yeah same
chrome ridge
Wolfpack also uploaded a new video about another mission he created in the editor, this time from the Soviet POV: https://youtu.be/xexAKqX4-yw?si=3B_w_13RNejy-ne3
His tactics are quite good, can´t wait what else we´ll get to see.
chrome ridge
Found the perfect book to get into the right mood for the game. 😬
chrome ridge
Only a couple more hours. Today I also work from home and even have the office to myself... 🤔
As preparation.. 😄

sand nexus
I like it a fair bit! It's definitely an early access game, it's got a fair few missing QOL features to contend with, but so far I've been lucky enough to avoid any major bugs. I think it's a solid foundation for what they seem to be working toward according to their roadmap.
sand nexus
chrome ridge
I like it a fair bit! It's definitely an early access game, it's got a fair few ...
That's my impression, too. When it works, it's great. The action is tense and gripping. It's a joy seeing all those units moving and fighting. I just find some of the missions a bit borked, some have weird pacing and sometimes the AI is acting weird.

Don't you need VR for project wingman?

No

Interesting

may I ask, can I post games like Hoi4 here?
sand nexus
Seems like a reasonable place
daring sand
I don't actually have hoi4, was just asking for hoi4-ish games

War is war.
Played the first mission of the Pacific Strike ´85 pack and that was really quite good. Interesting objective, good forces set up and good pacing. I love how the community is cranking out those missions so fast.
