One of the more notable areas of similarity is our flight mechanics system.

Semi-realistic, similar to RS2 to start with but eventually plan to keep expanding it to lite-sim quality. You could say “Physics based”

There will be maps featuring 4km² and 16km²

Our minimum goal is to accommodate 80 players, with our ideal target being 100. However, if feasible, we would like to expand this limit to 120 to accommodate players in vehicles
Planned factions?
The initial release will feature the US Army and PAVN factions. As development progresses, we hope to introduce additional factions such as the Australian forces and the NLF, and if feasible, the US Marines.

We are considering implementing a feature that would allow tanks and other heavy vehicles to drive through small fences and trees for added realism and improved gameplay experience.
Will it be released on consoles?
The release of the game on consoles will depend on a variety of factors, including funding and public reception. At present, our primary focus is on achieving V1.0 on PC, and we cannot allocate resources to other platforms without sufficient funding. If the project is well-received and funding permits, we will expanding to console platforms in the future.
