The "Uber" Command: Modern Air/Naval Ops Thread

Steam weekend sale!

Silly question. A mate wants to pick this up on sale. But I told him I thought number 2 or something similar was around the corner and would check?

[Dimitris]

Command v2 has not been announced. There is in fact a lot coming for Command v1 in the next few months. Our private beta folks are going ecstatic :D

[Destraex]

Thank you!

Chains Of War announced! Are you ready for 21st century warfare?



After the great success of Northern Inferno, WarfareSims and Matrix Games are proud to announce Chains of War, the second standalone expansion of Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations!

A new generation of warfare is about to commence. In a world where the speed in communication is the blood of modern armed forces, new weapons are being developed to protect – or to poison – this blood. Through 12 thrilling campaign scenarios, you will experience a full escalation in conflict over the Pacific Ocean between the United States and China, in which the high level of technology has broken all the old rules! Or go back in time and experience conflict in 4 different historical hotspots! Are you ready for the next level of War?     

NEW! Communications disruption by network/cyber attack or any other arbitrary factor: Isolated units realistically limit their tactical awareness to only what they themselves can detect and engage, and are completely on their parent side of control. Say goodbye to Borg-view of the battlefield!

NEW! Cargo, landing and airdrop operations. Load mobile forces on ships, aircraft and even submarines, and unload them on any suitable point on the battlefield. Platforms are realistically limited by volume, weight and crew on what they can transport.      

NEW! Comprehensive damage model for aircraft. Aircraft may be shot down outright or receive damage that will still allow them to limp back home. Different aircraft can absorb different punishment on their fuselage, cockpit and engines. Depending on the amount of damage received a plane may be "mission killed" if its repairs take so long that it misses the fight.      

NEW! Advanced weapons for the new age of war. Tactical EMP weapons, railguns, high-energy lasers and more! 

Get more information about Command: Chains of War from its official Product Page!

Command: Chains of War can be played as a separate game (with the possibility to upgrade it to the base game with all the available database and scenarios at any point in time). Alternatively, it can be integrated as a new set of scenarios for owners of the original Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations Game of Year Edition!

March 30.

I give up. What happens March 30? Is today the release of that new expansion?

[Dimitris]

While we are on the cusp of another minor update release, the big news is what you see above.

Got it. Looks great... can't wait until it's out

[Airborne Rifles]

I'm excited about this!

Release Candidate for 1.12 is out.

a bunch of fixes and you can see the foundation for the new features with will be out with the new expansion.

Cool stuff! I suppose it will work as NI and integrate nicely into the full package if you also own CMANO?

Looks like some great additions to the platform.

Yes, the plan is to work like Northern Inferno, ie. either as a standalone game or as an expansion to an existing CMANO installation.

Looks like some great additions to the platform.

My favorite in the list is the 2x compression and smoother time-acceleration.

I am afraid to update CMANO any more. Did the final release of the latest patch 1.11 SR7 restore all of the features they removed in SR6 (replay, etc.)? I asked over in the Matrix forum but was ignored, like "What? Move along, no problem here." And now they have a beta patch 1.12 out. Honestly, I'll never update again without checking to see if I'm going to get screwed. The Devs made a great game, but they have destroyed my trust.
