im making this post to see who can get the highest score in simulator:
here is my best score yet

feedback and alot of question on 0.d_rc4 "SURBLINDÉ" update:


INFANTRY:
infantry feels really powerful but its balanced because infantry can quickly get taken out or get tools damaged, they also can't hit fast moving armored targets well.

saw that there was a "satchel" that infantry could throw for close range,
i can't figure out how to use it, do they throw it automatically when in range ? can it be thrown at building for demolition purpose ?

the new recon team has thermal aswell as some tanks, what does it do ?
does it see enemy through smoke ?



TANKS/VEHICULES:
i used the new c1b2 more than the c1 and they are really good, the c1b2 got a insane range, not much else to say

tank fell really inacurrate while moving (i think this what you wanted right ? its not a complaint i think it make the game balanced)

when using the armory and inspecting any vehicule the 2 images on the top right (for vehicule armor and vehicules details) always show a image of k-115a1, even for the b30-d who clearly doesn't look like that, even wheeled vehicules have the image.

on mission 5, a vehicule spawn inside a building: at the start of the road where 1 orlina spawn, inside the first industrial building to the right.
For some reason it seem to only attack infantry.

in the dev log for this update you called the c1b2(ingame name) "c1v2"(devlog name). I do not know which is wrong.

it look like we lost some vehivules like the k-115 replaced by the k-115v and k-115a1, aswell as the k-50a.

can't use the "look at point" feature, there is no control for it in the controls menu.

MORE GENERAL FEEDBACK:
while the controls menu is open you can't exit the game but you can exit when the option menu is open




question time (my favorite):
will it be possible to loot supplies from dead vehicules ? (could have alot of uses for longer battles)

since you are adding a mortar b-20, will there be a mortar team added ?

seeing as you are adding the b-20 combat engi, will it be able to destroy building ?  will we get more building demolition tools ?

the description the applique armor talk about reinforced crew hatches to prevent prying open, is it foreshadowing for for tank hijacking ?
will there be multiplayer or co-op (i predict that it might be added for the steam release)

could we get a bigger module storage to store all of the modules on all vehicules (i have been putting the era from tanks i won't use ingame onto tanks i will use but i always need to equip the tank and remove the era by hand, you could do the same thing you did with crew where they automatticly get added back but for tank parts ?).

COMMENTS:
you exceded my expectation both for infantry and vehicules, i cant wait to see what you will add next.

thank you for fixing extraction point spawning inside buidlings on simulator
sorry i kinda rushed this feedback

also, do take time to develop your game properly (you seemed like you didn't have enough time to finalize the update when talking about the "countless bugs you forgot" in the devlog)

UPDATE LETS G

also please add the possibilty to ram ennemy infantry

do the tutorial missions

question and feedback on the game:
i played on version 0.C_rc4 as of this commment and my loadout where most of the time 2 k-75A 1 k-115 and a b-30D with the most troop bay i could fit. I have not used all the k-50 variants tanks.

i will talk about infantry first:
I have read alot of the comment here and checked out the twitter/x dev page and its clear that you want the game to stay about the tanks. But i feel that infantry is a bit useless (this might just be me using them wrong ,i mostly did scouting with them)

my complaint:

they are not that good at scouting:
Their range of view is way less than a tank (due to modules) making them way less efficient at scouting, especially on the long main roads you get alot in the simulator where the ennemy armors often is. Also peeking out of corners or windows is 50/50 chance of the whole squad dying before they can even spot the ennemy
why not make it so 1 person in the squad peek the corner

they lack variety:
since you can't customize infantry like armor
also, the 3 men "scout" team and 5 men squad have the same vision range, meaning that the scout team is nothing but a downgraded version of the squad with slightly more speed which isn't that useful/make a difference to scout

Moving them is painfull:
the isometric view make finding walkable path hard
there is a automatic pathfinding but it often get squad stuck or make the path longer
when trying to modify the path of a squad you don't get the filter that show building in red and entry point in yellow

here some ideas i got to give them more uses while keeping tanks the powerhouse of the game:

give them equipement:
smoke grenade to throw at the ennemy or anywhere (unlike tanks who can only smoke infront of them)
explosives to destroy buildings or make holes
mines
mounted guns/emplacement, powerful guns for ambush at the cost of speed (slow setup and move speed due to weigth of gun)
binoculars, more range (does not have to be gun range just more vision can do aswell)
barricades (either big ones to block road or smaller to block entry points on buildings)

make more specialized infantry: (like the scout team)
(having infantry with certain weapons or gadget would mean not having a whole infantry modification menu and keep the squares system you have in the armory)
AT team (most infantry already have AT weapons so give them a mounted one maybe ?)
demolition team (explosives for diverse function: blow a building/hole/tank maybe if you get close enough)
enginneer squad (i saw another comment talking about hijacking and repairing tanks)
tank crew (its a extra tank crew to man the hijacked tanks or replace dead tank members )
medic team

one last thing for infantry, maybe add verticality to buildings
being able to go on roof for better vision at the cost of being more vulnerable and slower to exit building and only for certain building

sorry i went on a rant about infantry for too long, remember that this is your game not mine and you decide what is best for it.

for tanks:
i know you already got this complaint but please add some line to visualise the path of ordonnance

for the questions:
what does the supply bar do ? is it just ammo ? is it used to repair the tank when they get derailed and everything ? could there be a way to replenish it ?
what others weapons (the red modules) do you plan to add ?
are we always gonna be limited to 4 vehicules no matter the deploymenet points
Is there gonna be multiplayer ?
could vehicules like humvees or jeep with mounted gun ever be a thing ?
could unarmed vehicules like trucks with more modules space exist ?
why do ordonnance sometimes go flying away ? is it because i was too close to the ennemy tanks ?

thats it for now, keep doing what you do, its really good and will stay on the lookout for the steam release
