Cool mashup of doorkickers and tanks with a bit of mechwarrior, when running this game on an rx6400 it does seem to be constantly running at full utilisation, even when sitting in the main menu. Its not a strong card but may be some optimisation issue too

tanks and WOMEN??? didnt know you can mix horror and Vehicles

I grabbed the 0.6.3 demo after i saw it on youtube, just had one bug and a couple comments after playing a good bit
- bug: sometimes on the refinery tileset there will be a ghost building, often in the corners. Pathing thinks it can go through it, but units and munitions smack into an invisible cube. 
- map gen sometimes puts all the streets in one corner and the other 3/4ths of the map is an impassable conurbation
- like 80% of the procedural jobs are night missions? I get that this might have Lore Reasons with the highburn suns, but it's real rough when you don't have thermals or IR searchlights yet
- you can see when the enemy pushes cars and things around in the fog of war, which takes away from the surprise

But all in all i had a lot of fun! Would definitely have paid for early access, if you wanted to do that.

amazing game keep going this is peak

Got recommended this game on a YT stream and absolutely love it!

Im still a bit lost with all the equipment customization and often get my ass handed to me by the enemies, but im starting to get the hang of it. I very much like the intuitive controls, that make it easy to get into the game to then start learning about all the more complicated things.

Looking forward to one day see a full release, maybe with a more developed story?

Shut up and take my money! :D

Yo, this is... pretty amazing! Some professional-level stuff. I wasn`t expectingthe RTS to be this good, but wow... This looks freaking great. Even the HUD and UI look awesome. How long have you been working on it?

Are you planning to do a Mac build?

Well done. I have (not so) few suggestions. 

Factions where attacking one side increases hostility and in some cases retaliation missions where you are on the defensive. 

EW Infantry 3 man dismount where electronic warfare becomes available. Where LOS increases its effectiveness with materials minimizing its effect.

NBC Desolator Infantry 3 man dismount where radiological weaponry subtly dissolves infantry,non-NBC protected tank crew and equipment from relative safety with its effect being stronger on line of sight. Maybe have modules that improve defence against such infantry. Units still fight as dead men walking despite taking lethal dosages.

PsyOP Infantry 3 man dismount where breaking morale and routing the enemy to retreat from their advantageous positions to flanking fire. Mahiri will hate these due to her trait.   

Engineer Infantry 4 man dismount where they can repair your tanks and equipment, flame infantry and extend the lifespan of buildings before it collapses under fire compared to other units.

Medic Infantry 4 man dismount where they heal crew and infantry. They can fight but typically lose (why would you waste medics on fighting when they should be healing). 

Terror Drones a swarm unit (pseudo infantry that is technically an 8 man squad) that amounts to a IED with steel legs and dubious body parts attack infantry with a deluge of spinely legs and for tanks satchels attacking from multiple angles typically destroying. Flamethrowers and EW will be most effective at removing them.

Helicopters that can maneuver up and down attacking from high and retreating below the skyline before they take any hits. Vulnerable to infantry small arms and tank MGs. Maybe some AA would be nice.

More obfuscates besides smoke. A flashbang dazzler that disables optics or blinds the gunner of a tank. Holograms that misdirect fire to a fake object. Inflatable replicates like WW2 ghost armies. 

New biomes like a massive fortress complex where buildings are durable to multiple hits from thermobaric weapons at the cost of tiny LOS windows.Infantry dominate this biome. A catacomb biome where morale degrades. A biome that has water (maybe amphibious tanks can make an appearance later in dev).

i have no words to describe this game longer. but one thing for certain is that i'm astonished. i haven't seen an RTS game that's like this. the HUD, UI, The gameplay, Limited units, and the customization instantly got me hooked. i hope to see this game blossom.

when you add this game to the steam?

Is this game will be free, I already added this game in my wishlist on steam

My experience within 15 generated assaults is power projection in one defensible area then lure the enemies to that said area. Camping as they call it, three decently survivable well positioned tanks with a lot of firepoweris enough.

The AI usually keeps pushing my position in a sub-optimal manner with limited force, even with heaviest of tanks are too easily eliminated. I had encounters with competent AIs that knows how take cover reveal mostly their thickest armor but they still are usually outgunned to be a threat. Flanking is a threat but it's rare with minimized effect thanks to the sensors.

I suggest adding threats with indirect strikes and better AI.

HOW AM I ABLE TO install a 3-man team dismount compartment into the rear of a DAMN TANK TURRET????

found this a while ago and its a great idea though it does hurt for those low end pc's even doorkickers 2 i can run it and this one i cant will there b more optimizations in the future

I love this game and I adore the stylized look and feel. Gr8 job

However, I was wondering if we could get a more in-depth health system for the tanks as trying to figure out what is and isn't damaged is very hard from the tiny tank HUD (bottom right).

Something like a separate 3D HUD (with the same lovely UI as the mini tank HUD)

P.S, will there be a wider story mode? I found the story elements on tank descriptions very interesting and I'd like a wider exploration of the setting. 

And how would you feel about an over-stacking mechanic? For example, you could add slightly more ammo than max but at higher risk cook-off and lower moral. Or stack thermals and NVGs but it'd lower speed.

(higher strain on batters resulting in less power to treads much like how turning on the AC in a car slows it down slightly)

Will there ever be an Android apk? I'm not asking for further optimization because I do think most phones nowadays can handle games like this pretty well. 

Hello, I found your game from your twitter and I'm enjoying it so much. My current feedback would be the optimization. But because it was still in development, I would expect some optimization for crappy device like mine on official release. Your gameplay style is pretty similar to "Doorkickers" which I don't know if you took an inspiration from it or just a coincidence. The game itself is pretty enjoyable and I hope you'll consider adding some kind of aerial support. Lastly, I would like to know if the game will be paid when released or not. If paid, I would like to know the estimated price for it.

Game is good, but if ANYTHING needs some work done it's the AI all around. It feels like every unit on the board is incapable of making slight adjustments to their positioning to gain any advantage, and thus they kind of feel like COD bots, just moving in general directions and turning to fire.

I loaded my B-207 RKT with a bunch of ordinances so it can blow you up, blow you in a building, or blow you in a tank, again- and again, or all at once, but... for some reason; none of it can fire. It has optics, and It was stationary. Even at ground attack...

Dear developer of this wonderful game!

As someone who loves tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and all things military, I really, really enjoyed this game. I wish you success in its development, and I hope it gets released on Steam and receives at least some attention.

Sooo.... lets begin with this comment just to set the background 

- Concept : perfect (for my taste and I assume for most military nerd that will eventually have this game in their feeds in youtube)

Execution : great for alpha

honestly I understand your struggles as a fellow game nerd who have gone through the pain of developing game that the alpha being this well built is quite an achievement. Great job mate!

Suggestions : 

AI

make the pathfinding just recognize the buildings as an immovable obstacle and make it pass through the breakable obstacles such as the trucks and debries : this game, expecially in the large map will require the pathfinder to go through alot of things on the road, which if it was not clustered with building, has also moveable objects such as trucks. 

It this was only the case, then the rockets given to the player is awsome and would not be a complaint, however, as the game progresses, the inclusion of dead tanks also become obstacles, which at the update 0.C, is not considered as a debrie according to the pathfinder. 

There are too many things that the pathfinder has to consider which makes the travel process a stress to manage even with the free draw mechanism

1. Make tank corpses registered as same as building as an obstacle that the pathfinder has to go around 

2. Make the breakable objects just invisible to the pathfinder: The struggle to make a formation with free draw or individual designation is a pain (However, if this is gonna be a mechanism, then I understand as the need for freedraw is quite crucial with the current state of the pathfinder)

Formations

One of the most interesting thing about this game is the importance of how the tank is with the other tanks. When I was starting to play the tutorial, I honestly thought the formations are just gonna be same as other RTS games, expecially CoH2, like how the front of the armour is stronger than the side (duh). However, I really appriciate the effort to make the tank really modular (includuing subtle jokes for each of the equipments was quite nice to read), but the inclusion of such stats for each part of the tank makes the importance of formation as high as fps games such as WOT or War thunder, which purely relies on the variety of tank structures and how those structures interact witht the environment. 

I would honestly recommend honing in the aspect with how the user interats with the formations not only for the platoon, but individual tanks in general as currently tank formations are formed from a predetermined condition tracker given to the AI

1. make a UI which shows the formation for the designated tank(s) permanently on the corner of the screen where the user can see and controle the designated unit(s) more percisely (zoomed in)

2. A formation maker for the user where the player can designate the formation of tank(s) when moving/in battle (I dont know which layer in the game this setting should be but I would suggest that it be with the unit maker)

Bug found: 

1. a tank does not shoot due to the barrel of the tank being stuck on a position and the setting being permanent - right click did not work (had to reset the game) 

couldn't replicated but it had to do something with shooting rockets and giving too many commands

2. Also had a bug where doing something with the keyboard and moving quickly though different UI levels to and from the unit module editior somehow got me two equipment on the same box. (I don't know how)

Mate, your game looks awsome in the current edition. I am quite sure that you have many ideas for your game already that you want to implement in the future and I am all for it. I wish my suggestions are at least not boring to read. If you came all the way down here have a good day mate.

This game is awesome!

Great game I've played in this category so far, the combination of arcade and realistic makes it less confusing to play.Btw can we have some keyboard zooming? The mouse wheel zooming don't work well on my device.Great game though,can't wait to play the 1.0 version :)

one of the coolest tank games i have played and its super unique and i love the art style cant wait for the full gam

The current combat loop is easily minmaxed with a all-offense setup & clearing corners with an instant kill ball of 6 units lumped together

Sheltered infantry has more survivability than most MBTs , always gets enough time to itch you with a RPG shot unless you got a hit surface for a quick AOE missile response . IRL a thermobaric bomb is much more devastating and is not fun at all

The dithering overlays have completely broken scaling on any resolution other than yours

I respect the perfectionism but please acknowledge that the UI can be much more focused on key info, Synthetik-esque even, and you'll certainly be rearranging the layout dozens of times more , so make it easier for yourself to do internally early on .   

Try reading this

very good game thank you

Hey! Just played through the tutorials and first mission! I will give more coherent thoughts in your feedback form later but just wanted to let you know I think your game is awesome, I will be picking it up on steam when it comes out! Very addicting already!
