Drones and Waves - 3vs3 Update


New units

Russia

  • Project «Gremyashchy» — a corvette equipped with the Pantsir-M complex, a 75 mm bow gun and a Kalibr VLS with 8 programmable cells. Auto-resupply from Novorossiysk port or from an engineering vessel. Auto-repair while inside a friendly port zone. Carries a Mi-8 helicopter slot.

  • Engineering vessel — 40-slot hold, delivers Kalibr and 57E6 missiles for Pantsir-M. Auto-repair in port zone. Mi-8 helicopter slot.

Ukraine

  • Magura V5 + Magura R-73 — sea kamikaze boats and a truck launcher. Drive the truck close to the water to deploy the drone.

  • Yak-52 — a light propeller aircraft with an onboard gunner.

  • Neptune R-360 — coastal short-range missile system with an anti-ship cruise missile featuring two flight altitude modes: overland and sea-skim over water. In sea-skim mode the missile is extremely hard to intercept — most air defence systems cannot detect it. Auto-locks on naval targets within range: 400 damage to ships, reduced damage of 100 against other targets.

  • Shahed-236 and Palyanitsa — new jet-powered drones. More expensive than the standard Shahed-136 / Lyutyi, but significantly faster.


Economy and balance

  • Iskander-K (cruise) — 850 (was 900)


New mode

  • Added 3 vs 3 mode


New targeting mechanic

You can now assign a specific target to your drones, missiles, aircraft and helicopters. Right-click on an enemy and the selected unit will pursue the designated target and attempt to engage it, even if the target is moving. Your side must have visual detection on the target.


Fixes

  • Fixed incorrect no-build zones being shown for economic buildings

They come with a range of hardpoints - unguided rockets, Vikhr ATGMs, Igla - mounted through the loadout editor.
