one BIG mechanic of this game and I think it's unique for an RTS. Is that units will select individual targets on their own and fire the necessary amount of munitions at them. For example if you have 2 Apaches and there is 1 T90 and 1 UAZ within range. if you do not right-click attack a unit, the Apaches will engage both at the same time. 1 Apache will launch 1 hellfire for the UAZ cause it determines 1 missile is enough, whilst the other will launch multiple missiles at the T90. Games like Wargame and Warno had Apaches wasting so many missiles on 1 single soft target. In an RTS with limited ammo this mechanic is a godsent. Excellent work devs.

Always good to see someone making content to help other players. Steam rolling someone who is super new to RTS genre isn't as fun as playing against someone who has a general idea. 10/10 nice work!

As a new player I really appreciate this I couldn’t find anything anywhere about basic stuff

Useful trick I've found is to click to unload supplies or troops, then hold shift and click return to base. Very useful with chopper deliveries. You can also use the unload command on buildings to deposit troops directly into cover. Same can be done with fire missions. Tell them where to fire, then shift right click somewhere to have them immediately change position when they finish firing. Can be used with patriot missile systems to tell it where to go, shift click radar, and have it drive somewhere then automatically turn radar on.

Anything can be told to go fully resupply then move somewhere else and then even turn on radar using shift.

This was the exact kind of video I needed, thanks for it man.

There is one thing you forgot to mention about aircraft. How to drop high drag vs low drag, and free fall bombs

Probably the most informative and clearly explained tutorial Ive seen so far. Great job!

I can't believe this video doesn't have more views. What a great overview. Thank you for choosing to spend your time making videos that will benefit and grow the community.

Thank you ! Really thank you !

great stuff man, keep it up

I want to add more tips and basic mechanics some people might not know about:
1. Holding fire (H) while attack moving (Q) will make the unit stop and aim as soon as a unit can spot an enemy if it can penetrate / damage it. For example a sniper unit upgraded with Anti-Material rifles would stop first and aim on the enemy vehicle as opposed if they were not upgraded / cannot penetrate it, they would blindly keep walking and potentially be seen or get shot.
2. The LOS tool (hold alt) is about 2000m in diameter or 1000m from the center if no unit is selected. This is useful when gauging where to put your artillery / AA for counter battery or having the best chance to engage targets at their optimal ranges.
3. Kinetic damage gains more penetration the closer you are to the target and can be reduced/negated completely based on the target's armor value, therefore kinetic-based weapons (like autocannons/infantry small arms) are more deadly in close quarters than HEAT/HE-based weapons.
4. HEAT/HE damage always deals some damage in a normal distribution bell-curve with 20%/50%/80% at less than half/equal/twice respectively of the points of the curve of the penetration vs the target's armor value.
5. Some infantry units have better sprint (ex. most Special Forces have sprint with 30 sec cooldowns instead of the normal 60 secs) which allows them to manoeuvre and traverse between open fields or streets faster. Sprinting lasts about 10 seconds and covers ~300m of ground and ignore suppression/panicked so take note to save your infantry.
6. Overkill mechanic (right click on an enemy unit) is useful to override or defeat APS / AA systems where your unit will try to use / expend all munitions to kill the target as much as possible. This helps in defeating vehicles with APS which has a 5 sec cooldown where multiple AT hits can land in between the APS cooldown / charges. This helps in defeating AA units if you have recon over them (via sneaky ground recon or drones) since you can now send multiple SEAD missiles at the target instead of slowly shooting one at a time which can be destroyed by the enemy screen/net of AA units.
7. Laser designation can help laser guided bombs/artillery be guided accurately on an enemy unit or area by recon units / drones. This however can be a detriment if a nearby friendly laser can make you miss or change your intended targets shots so communicate accordingly with your teamates if necessary.

Nice video 🎉

Best explained quick guide here.. 😍

Chad video!  Thanks

thanks for this!  laser precisions for some reason are tricky to me

Love to see another guide already up after watching your previous video. Keep it up, and by all means: Please explain it all. Deckbuilding, differences between vehicles, decisionmaking both ingame and in deckbuilding etc. That would be awesome!

A video with "how to play good as team" with useful deck and loadout combinations will be very nice

20 times better than WARNO

Thanks for the video. Best break down for new players since release.

Incredibly helpful, thank you.
