Hello commanders,

We are back again! Today’s DevBlog will be slightly shorter. Nonetheless, we have some interesting tidbits to share with you.

First up is a sneak peek into the WARNO’s model workshop with a handful of new units coming your way.

Second, a hearty shout-out to the community-made WarYes website, which is rolling out an exciting new feature: the Advanced Damage Calculator. Read more about it further below.

A Sneak Peek

Our artists are working hard to put the finishing touches on some new vehicle models coming to WARNO. In last week’s DevBlog, we revealed the visually updated Abrams main battle tank. All of the models have been done, and some, reskinned.







However, we are not only updating existing vehicles. We also took the opportunity to add some missing units. First up, the WARRIOR CP, which you can surmise, is the IFV’s Command variant, which will be added to the British 1st Armoured Division.



Another brand-new unit is the SPARTAN ZB-298. A while back, our well-read community pointed out that by 1989, the British Army no longer used the American-made M113 Green Archer ground radar.

Instead, the British developed the indigenous ZB-298 radar, which could be fitted on an array of vehicles. We have chosen to model this piece of equipment on the FV103 Spartan which, as the SPARTAN ZB-298, will replace the Green Archer in the British 1st Armoured Division. It was on our to-do list to address this mistake, but an opening came up to add a new vehicle to WARNO’s roster only recently.

A new WarYes feature

We wholeheartedly support our community and player-based efforts. One of the most excellent community resources out there is WarYes. Created by StrikeTeam member Captain Toucan and community member izohek, WarYes provides an easy-to-use comparative tool of everything related to WARNO, from units to weapons, division breakdown and an automated patch note generator.

Captain Toucan with the fantastic help of NalydA have deployed a comprehensive new feature to WarYes: the Advanced Damage Calculator. This new tool will accurately display how much damage a specific weapon will do. What’s more, you can simulate this against a variety of units and across different ranges. The highly detailed Advanced Damage Calculator uses WARNO’s damage tables to calculate the damage from one unit firing at another unit.



Here, a British Challenger tank is taking on a Soviet T-80B.



In another example, we have a Soviet T8-M firing at a Challenger Mk.3, which shows missile travel time, ERA damage, and double shot mechanics.

The Advanced Damage Calculator can be configured to show a wide variety of different stats and variables, including Unit Cohesion, veterancy, terrain, range, which part of the armor to hit, static versus motion, damage per shot, missile travel time, which units can fire multiple projectiles simultaneously, optimal number of shots to kill, average time to suppress, and much more.



You can quickly access the Advanced Damage Calculator by selecting the option on the unit card. You can also find it on the website’s main menu. The WarYes team is keen to hear your thoughts. If you haven’t already, do join the WarYes discord - you can make requests, report bugs, or just tell how awesome the creators are!

Until next week
