You have unlimited respawns, however (as I will explain later), and unless you die and respawn in an expensive tank a lot, you will easily make back the spawn cost if you win.

Just do your best to minimise the amount of stuff the less capable ones have to deal with, and the wins will eventually start coming in.īefore I start explaining the mechanics, it's very important to accept that you're probably going to get killed by the bots at some point, possibly multiple times, in the most BS of ways at times. Unfortunately, random being what it is, you should generally not expect too much from your team. I have played quite a few battles in this mode and won a fair amount of times, so I would like to at least help you increase your odds of winning, and to explain the mechanics that Gaijin has, in their characteristic way, chosen to keep as opaque as possible.Īs with this game in general, a little bit of teamwork can go a long way.

It promises some intense dogfighting action, with a potential Death Star trench run going off in almost every direction.

The cloud layer is actually below ground level, which sits at 6,000 feet. Pilots will have an even tougher time, as wave after wave of enemy bombers at different altitudes will pound the area.Ī new arcade multiplayer map, called Guiana Highlands, is a fantastical plateau cut through with deep canyons. Enemies will approach from all sides, and players will have to be strategic about where and how they maneuver. Called Assault, update 1.67 will add a kind of co-operative horde mode to the game for the first time and feature new maps, vehicles and animations.Īssault Mode will task small groups of players with defending a single location against waves of tanks or aircraft.
