BEWARE: This is a simulator, classified as a serious game with a mature community. The game recommends at least 10 hours of practice, sticking with game veterans or an active squad. Being successful with vehicles in combat will require even more practice.
There are no scripts, communication and cooperation between all online players is required to create action and achieve objectives. A game session should ideally last more than 1 hour since player-led operations require time and patience. Ask for help on the chat and Discord. We are working on new features to ease the onboarding of new players.
