Active development
[/b] A special team has been chipping away and testing the [b]Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa[/b] for a month. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, we have rebalanced and tweaked the SADF forces in-game, and made sure the new arsenal is as polished as can be. Such as? Some of the plane load-outs have been changed compared to ones detailed in our [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/251060/view/2993187041046213532 ]South African Air Force Gameplay[/url][/b] post. We have reworked some of the models and we are continuing our balancing efforts. This also means that [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/251060/view/2994315478659361278]the balance patch we previously promised[/url][/b] for the base game has grown significantly in size and scope.
There is more, though!
[b]New units
[/b] Based on the team’s feedback, we have added two new units to the roster.- [b]Ratel 90 FSV[/b]. An additional [b]Ratel 90[/b] version. A non-transport variant classified as a fire support vehicle in the VHC tab.
- A new [b]Cheetah variant[/b], bringing the total to four: C, D, D2, and E. This will replace one of the previous Mirage models, which happened to be incorrect ([i]Mirage IIIE2Z[/i]).
[b]What will the South Africa Nation Pack bring?
[/b] [b]Wargame: Red Dragon - Nation Pack: South Africa[/b] will feature:- Close to 90 new SADF units, including 20 brand-new vehicle models, as well as many new variants. All feature new Afrikaans and South African-accented English voice-overs.
- These include the ubiquitous [b]Casspir[/b] and [b]Ratel[/b] APCs (in numerous variants, from IFV, recon, command, mortar, and even SAM), the [b]Rooikat[/b] wheeled tank (including variants and prototypes), [b]Eland[/b] (license-produced French AML), [b]Cactus[/b] (French Crotale), the only tracked [b]Olifant[/b] MBT, many armed variants of locally made [b]SAMIL[/b] trucks ([b]Ystervark[/b] and [b]Bosvark[/b] SPAAG, [b]Valkiri[/b] and [b]Bateleur[/b] MLRS), to the iconic [b]G6 Renoster[/b] self-propelled howitzer.
- The Air Force includes old [b]Buccaneer[/b], [b]Vampire[/b] and [b]Impala[/b] as close-air support, and several French [b]Mirage[/b] variants and the local [b]Cheetah[/b] as fighter and multirole aircraft. Furthermore, you will find the [b]Atlas Carver[/b] prototype, the first full South African prototype plane design (which never left the drawing board).
- Helicopters include the French [b]Alouette III[/b], [b]Puma[/b], [b]Super Frelon[/b] and their domestically produced versions and prototypes such as the [b]K-Car[/b], [b]Oryx[/b] and [b]XTP-1 Beta[/b].
