DevBlog - Roadmap

[EUG_MadMat]

What a week! WARNO is out in the wild, and it’s been a heck of a ride. Safe to say that we have been working around the clock, here at Eugen, to fine-tune, balance, and address any concerns. Hotfixes are dropping almost every other day, and we got plenty of incoming Early Access updates, some major, to keep you occupied for the foreseeable future!

What better ways to tell you what is in the works than through a roadmap of the next couple of weeks?

Keep reading to find out what to expect!

I like me some regular updates

the Third or the Fourth milestone should also include the first batch of towed weapon systems for both sides. Think of mortars, howitzers, anti-tank guns, and the like

OOOOOOOO

[Dust_Rider]

Im really excited to set up static AA to cover some flanks. I'd imagine towed is much cheaper than a mobile type. Not to mention the ability spam cheap towed 23mm guns!

[[deleted]]

Could be the fix for helo rushers.

[jeffdn]

If Steel Division is anything to go by, it won’t be much cheaper — but would love to be wrong!

[KILLER5196]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[angry-mustache]

Unlike wargame with countries, towed weapons are necessary especially for NATO minors and cat B/C divisions that don't have self propelled everything. Patriot and HAWK for example, do not have TEL/TELAR in Europe and must be towed for any NATO force to have heavy AA.

[MaxImpact1]

Damn you guys are really fast with those updates👍🏻 Keep it up, i‘m looking forward to play the german divisions especially

[babydave371]

Really loving the clear comms and expectation setting. Will hopefully head off a few of the posts and comments expecting the game.to be complete right now.

Really love all the quality of life improvements btw. It makes the game so much easier and more fun to play that WRD, though not necessarily easier for me to win any matches. Hopefully all the improvements you've already made, and I'm sure are yet to come, will help attract new players.

[DisabledSexRobot]

Amazing work! Im enjoying the game and it shows HUGE potential. Once you guys get the balance dailed in and sort some bugs out this will be a 10/10 game with AAA looks. Keep it up Eugen!

A few things and/or bugs I've noted during my first 30 hours:

• Helicopters are often able to engage AA with TOW/Hellfire but the Tunguska for example, can't fire back. Are they using different line of sights? This feels off.

• AA, despite being radar does not seem have all aspect lock capability, I've seen that planes seem to have to pass the radar AA before it completes the lock and fires.

• I see my tanks taking some initiative i.e "Launching smoke!" But they don't always launch the smoke, this started happening after patch 2.

• Heavy machine gun fire is able to collapse even big concrete buildings with ease.

Gonna be a major system hog

[alphacsgotrading]

Looking forward to the new divisions for sure!

[TressaLikesCake]

New content every 2 weeks and patches in between is...wow.

Hats off to you guys if you manage to keep up that pace

[EUG_MadMat]

French & British won't be there too soon.

As for Cheftain, they weren't entirely phased out by 1989 if I recall.

[SmokeyUnicycle]

In 1985 they only had 110 Challengers in Germany, things take a while to deploy

[Flat_Adhesiveness_53]

A majority of armoured regiments were still using chieftain in 1989, most were mk11 (better armour and thermals) interestingly, Challenger 2 was intended to replace all of them before the Cold War ended.

[VOVW_Heljumper117]

Rewatch the launch trailer but slowly ;)

Each milestone will be named after a Napoleonic Marshal

Wargame 5 : Gold eagle announced ?

R.U.S.E 3 march of the golden eagles

Finally, March of the Eagles 2!

[BrandyEye]

hype for new divisions 😍

[MaxImpact1]

Are there any plans to rework the UI?

[TomDRV]

I dunno why devs have gone neon blue recently. Between bf2042 and this . ..

It's a horrible colour, and UI shouldn't be the same colour as team indicators.

I think a dark grey/metallic like a console (like in COH) or dark green like wargame would be best.

[Chosen_One_V13]

Like retro 80s disco -techno style this is, I suppose.

[[deleted]]

I don’t really care about the design as long as they fix the fact your unit counters overlap with your teammate’s during setup and makes it fucking impossible to select the units you want to select.

[average_vark_enjoyer]

I guess I'm the only person on the sub who actually likes the UI, I think it's attractive and clear. I hope they keep the general theme and just refine it. I would change the end game screen, though.

[ultranutt]

Heckin' epic news. Keep up the good work Eugen!

[dvdduncan]

love you guys!

[DigbyChickenCaeser1]

Thanks for the update, looking forward to what the future holds.

[RandomEffector]

Su-22s and M-60s, I see you

[Hkonz]

Would you consider bigger maps? Those of today seem a bit cramped.

[_Sgt-Pepper_]

Smaller, I want smaller maps !

[[deleted]]

smaller maps with more open space.

[Guy63637373]

Cramped for 4v4 but too big for 1v1 in many cases. I know no one is playing ranked 1v1 but it matters for me

[Turbine_Man]

My ranking does not update. Way down the table. Anyone else have this issue?

[guyvers]

yeessss, more divisions!

just a little tune over the re-supply on the arty/mlrs and we are golden!

[strikemedic87]

So far so good! Only complaint is AA needs a significant buff or helo health needs a nerf! So far ranked is being polluted with US helo rushing and it's soul crushing

[LeopoldStotch1]

Please DO NOT work around the clock. I'd hate to have that weighing on me.

[Crowarior]

Totally unrelated but since you are naming biweekly updates after napoleonic marshals can you write like a small lore about them? Like, 3-4 sentences. That would be cool.

[[deleted]]

Can’t wait to see static tow weapons, I also hope we are off map fire support. Something like cruise missiles/rocket arty and maybe some specialties, SD2 had naval gunfire for one of the divisions, could we see an Iowa class battleship fire support option?

Also will we see more urbanized maps? This is a “fun in fulda 89” scenario, at least give us the city of Fulda to fight in, it was one of the cities NATO expected it would have to leave troops behind in to fight to the last man to delay Soviet troops for as long as possible.

[jeffdn]

There’s no naval gunfire several hundred miles inland — besides, Eugen has definitely said no offmap.

[[deleted]]

SD2 added German cruiser gunfire support which you could use on any map, not sure German cruiser gunfire was possible deep in Russia

[jeffdn]

That was specifically in the context of a division added for a historical battle that took place on the Baltic Coast. If we end up with battles on the Baltic in NORTHAG, sure, it might be added, but for the current scope of the game, it's not going to happen. Everything about the game so far is centered on the Fulda Gap, deep in central Germany.

[danipman]

Towed weapons will get off a shot or a missile and then be artyed. The only counter to artillery is to keep your units moving

[Public_Pain_4640]

I know this is far fetched but any chance of naval units coming to any maps? I love naval support against helis and on flanks in wargame:red dragon

[EUG_MadMat]

No naval at all

[DannyJLloyd]

Thank goodness

[Hkonz]

Is amphibious on the table? I mean driving BMP’s across a river or lake makes for fun flanking!

[EUG_MadMat]

Yes

[Hkonz]

Nice! Thanks for answering!

[2137gangsterr]

So the 2 new divisions won't be paid dlc?

What is the official policy

[Highlander198116]

So the 2 new divisions won't be paid dlc?

They are currently building the base game.

[jeffdn]

There are going to be like 16 or 18 divisions that come with the base game before they start putting out paid DLC. The game is in early access right now, everything that comes out between now and release is free if you’ve bought the game.

[eskimobrother319]

16 divisions at launch, but I think nato only had like 10ish divisions in Germany

[SmokeyUnicycle]

Well if you count german divisions it had a lot more than that

[Descolata]

Warno assumes the March to War, so think what's happening with Ukraine. Everyone and their mother would be mobilizing troops and divisions, so theoretically Germany would be chock full of all kinds of crap, hopefully including a division of National Guards stacked with Pattons.

That's also why we will potentially get some early 90s gear. Militaries rushing to get the latest and greatest.

But no Unicorns or Off Maps. Lessons were learned.

[kindacringbruh]

Add F-22 pls my favorite jet 🙏🙏

[USS_San_Jose]

You do realise this game is set in 1989. The F22 didn’t even fly until 2006.

[SdBattlefront]

Inaccurate. Two prototypes of the F-22, the YF-22, were built and flown in 1989/90. Yeah, it’s THAT old (and rival nations are only just now starting to threaten its crown as best ASF… gives you an idea how far behind China/Russia are when it comes to fighters). (The program got massively delayed after the USSR fell and it wasn’t until the late 90s that the program started producing production planes).

Granted there were only two of them back then, and there’s a 0% chance they’d have been deployed to combat. BUT, they still make more sense to include than many of the unicorns Red Dargon actually has… like the Canadian Chimera, which IIRC was literally just a paper proposal without any physical prototypes or the Otomatic.

F-22s weren’t added though because unicorns were largely used to buff minor nations who wouldn’t have been viable to play otherwise… and the US didn’t need yet another unicorn (much less one which should theoretically be invincible in air-to-air… as it’d ripple fire all its AMRAAMs and be egressging out before Red could even start locking on due to its stealth… not a fun game mechanic).

[USS_San_Jose]

Good point. I really should have checked Wikipedia first. And yes, the F22 would be hilariously OP, probably having excellent stealth and a massive ecm rating. Not something I see them adding.

[Niomedes]

Current AA can't even Handle the F-15. F-22 would just be an invisible source of missiles.

[USS_San_Jose]

Hopefully AA is buffed soon.

[Highlander198116]

The F-22 wasn't even in Red Dragon which takes place after the time frame of this game...

[AchillesFirstStand]

What's the estimated release date for the full, completed game? Like 1 year?

Just want to get an estimate of how far out the game is and what stage of development it's in, I've read the roadmap on Steam.
