Drone Sector

In its current state, 'Mixed' is about where I would actually put it. I do enjoy the game enough to give it a mild recommendation based solely on how much I like the concept of expanding upon the mechanic popularized by things such as the 'Death From Above' AC-130 mission from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and the potential is definitely there. The current issues are immediately apparent in the early game. Instead of being able to jump right into "blowing ♥♥♥♥ up" like the tutorials and the demo would have you believe, you first have to contend with things such as ammo conservation, paying resources to restock on ammo between missions, and probably most egregious of all, having to escort ground forces which at the start of the game are limited to either a choice of rifle or AT infantry, both of which feel terrible to babysit for several factors. These infantry are slow, frail, and weak against everything that isn't suppressed enemy infantry, and considering every mission so far has objectives that need ground forces to complete, you'll be forced to contend with keeping an eagle eye on these infantry squads as they *slooowly* make their way to the objective and making sure they don't die from enemies showing up out of nowhere and breathing on them slightly wrong, especially Autocannon APCs (remember this; this will come up again real soon) that can show up as early as a few missions in. It also doesn't feel good that even if you play perfectly and you escort your infantry to their objectives and extract without any interruptions, on certain missions they take so long to do so that most of your fuel will be gone by the time the mission finishes. Now imagine a more challenging mission where your infantry get suppressed (assuming they don't outright die). Thankfully, you can quickly remedy this 'frail infantry' issue with a very simple solution; a solution that itself introduces a few more issues relating to the current state of the game: by focusing on upgrades that allow you to replace your slow, frail, and weak infantry with faster, durable, and legitimately powerful APCs. First the .50 Cal variant, then the 40mm Autocannon variant soon after. Remember those enemy Autocannon APCs I mentioned earlier that were the bane of your infantry's existance? Now you can get them on your side, and best of all, unlike you, have unlimited ammo. The issue with this solution however, is twofold. First, right now there is no cost difference between the type of ground forces you choose to take on a mission, so once you unlock better unit types, you have no real reason to use anything else. Second, for a game ostensibly focused primarily about close air support, the best early game resource expenditures are not on better guns to, you know, support with, but rather the units you're supporting themselves. Not to mention the other stuff that you start with during the tutorials and the demo but now have to gradually unlock throughout the career such as anti-air warning and countermeasures, and thermal vision. As for the ammo conservation and restock aspect, I can somewhat understand the rationale get behind it to an extent. With unlimited ammo, you would have no reason to use, for instance, 20mm guns over 40mm guns, the latter of which are far more efficient in terms of ammo usage, restock cost, fire rate, and reliable killing power. Limited ammo and research progression remedies this somewhat, but after the very early game, 40mm becomes the go-to ammo type regardless, with the occassional dip into the heavy weaponry. Overall, despite focusing primarily on my current criticisms with the game in its current state, I do want to reiterate that I still am having a ton of fun with the game especially once the tedious early game was done and over with. The game clearly has a lot of potential going forward, even if it is marred by some bumps in its execution.

really good game with enough content for hours of playtime. looking forward to future updates from the dev who is very active in the community

It's like the COD4MW C-130 gunship level, but you also get to maneuver the ground units. Pretty fun.

Recalibrate azimuth sweep angle. Adjust elevation scan.

好玩 无人机炮艇模拟器 一发120下去什么都给我炸飞吧 生涯模式前期有点小穷，弹药有点小贵 40毫米榴弹对步兵的杀伤意外的有点低，为什么我的40炮步战压制一个步兵小队还要半天才能打完（感觉不如机炮） 载具寻路问题。。。撞车有点严重，虽然不算灾难但是也挺难受，算一个雷点 对于一个搜打撤（？）游戏来说看着自己的步战车卡寻路了那真是太地狱了 撤离的时候就别搁着那打了赶紧给我跑吧 唉唉为什么不能给我的斯崔克上装俩ATGM？

Very fun RTS game with satisfying gunplay. Balances realism and arcade very well making it not overly tedious to play while keeping it tactical and exciting. Looking forwards to the updates yet to come to further improve upon it
