​

Helicopter Ops Friendly - Rotary-wing aircraft are a vital part of this mission. From combat to logistics management.

Player logistics - deploy various infantry squads and extract them once they complete their mission, deliver supplies, rescue friendly pilots. C-130 and helicopter transport pilots can change the course of the war by delivering supplies.

​

Dynamic AI tasking - available AI are sent where they are needed based on the state of the frontline.

​

Basic economy - every unit and building requires supplies to be deployed, AI runs supply lines, as well as intercepts supplies of the enemy.

​

Persistence - as with Foothold, the campaign remembers where you left off. Long-term gameplay over different days is supported. 

​

Dynamic player missions - pick up missions from a mission board and complete them either alone or together with friends to earn XP and rise through the ranks.

​

Built-in performance optimizations - activity is concentrated around the frontline and zones farther back automatically reduce the amount of unnecessary units.
