W:AB pre order beta is released. Thread - WIC: Modern Warfare Mod for World in Conflict

Some intersting features:
- Crude predictor (? not sure on the actual principle used, can be Pro Nav) guidance of missiles (missiles fly just ahead of target).
- SEAD works properly now, with a dedicated aircraft detecting operating radars from long range and engaging them with ARMs.

Overall W:AB (Wargame: Airland Battle) shows great promise as the future MWM platform.

Looks good ikalugin, I enjoyed Wargame: European Escalation, but if I pre order ALB will I be able to play the offline campaigns? Is there a dynamic offline campaign like I had heard about? I'm a bit out of the loop, haven't been on the forums over there in months.

Hearing Russian players on the U.S. Side saying "'merica strong!" and "U S M C!" Was funny. Enjoyed the friendly banter I saw in the video, dunno who the guy was that had the altered high pitched voice but it was hilarious.

The SP is not available at the moment in the Beta. In the campaign there would be a coop and VS options, ie you would be able to play with or against your friend. At the moment only 2 man coop is confirmed.

F14A at the moment is ridiculous as it can hit fighters with Phoenixes from massive range.

Campaign is indeed dynamic, with a variety of battle groups available. Battlegroups are patterned around real life formations.

Currently in the beta you have a number of pre set decks, but deck creator should come in 1-2 weeks.

This is why current beta balance is sort of funny, with USSR being somewhat OP.

Thanks for the info ikalugin, I'm downloading it now, I couldn't resist getting the $10 off since I had European Escalation.

I hope they implement smoke into the battles, that itself is a real game changer, being able to lay smoke for infantry running across exposed ground, or tanks using smoke to decrease accuracy of ATGM's like we do here with WiC Modern Warfare. At any rate, it certainly looks at least as fun as European Escalation so I'm in.

Smoke is in the game, but only for Arty.

Deck editor is expected to come out today (French time).

At the moment 10v10 game mode is in testing.
