Kill Capture Destroy Game Design Documents

are primarily designed for close air support and attack ground targets, they can include single (A-10/Su25) and two-seat (A-29/F-15E/Su34), and three-seat aircraft (AC-130). The most famous of these is the A-10, the Russian copy is called the Su-25. But they all have the same characteristic: slower, lots of hard points, and good at killing ground vehicles, but weak against other fighters.

Internal Bays

Having internal bays is critical to having stealth, without it the aircraft’s RCS is considerably more, F-22 without external weapons RCS is 0.0001 with its 0.5, the difference is huge and makes using them important. This requires a hydraulic function to use the open and setting a range and axis to rotate them.

Turbines

use compressed air to create a heated jet of air that pushes out the exhaust which is mixed with fuel and burned under compression, this creates thrust and the wings can lift on the force of the jet flying through the air. Turbines generally use more fuel and are faster, turbines can go past the speed of sound to Mach 2/3/4/5. Anything past 5 is consider hypersonic which uses a scramjet or ramjet to fly up to Mach 10

Turboprops

Aircraft with propellers are called turboprops, they generally use less fuel and have a better economy, but are slower and have a max speed that they can travel at, propeller aircraft can’t break the sound barrier. They are quieter than aircraft that fly at the speed of sound making the stealthy in their own way, A-29 is an example of a turboprop, it flies slower but generally, on station for much longer, it can’t carry an as heavy payload, unless it’s a multi-turboprop plane like the AC-130.

The aircraft is much more special on the map, they require to take off and land and have a pilot and a gunner. Generally, most maps will spawn fewer aircraft and helicopters, but in certain modes, this is not true. Ie Air -to-Air mode would be only aircraft. In some special setups, they have a pilot and more than one gunner. For example, the AC-130 has a pilot and two gunners one to fire the cannon and the other for the minigun.

A-10/Su-25	Single Seat + Jet Engine

Fighters jets are optimized to maneuver and engage other aircraft. They can shoot them down using beyond-visual range BVR missiles which are radar-guided and have a range of more than 100km, they can detect and shoot from far away forcing them to turn and fly away. Fighter jets can dogfight and carry out limited air to the ground. They are more fragile than attack aircraft and damage results in a loss of maneuverability and speed. The majority of fighters are single-seaters.

BVR vs WVR

Modern combat is done in two ways, the BVR is the preferred way as you are far away and out of danger, for the most part, the use of radar to lock on and track your enemy allows you to fire long-range missiles.

The idea here is to use radar to see beyond the range of the other plane lock on and kill, this is all done via the MFD displays you will see the target on the radar and kill it.

C-130 Hercules > U.S. Air Force > Fact Sheet Display

These are large aircraft that carry large payloads over long distances, bombers can strike a number of targets and carry out missions on the world map. Bombers can carry nuclear weapons. The transports can carry troops and refuel aircraft. Generally a Transport or bomber has two seats, they also show up on the world map and you can move them around outside of the combat missions so you can attack targets based on your political alliances and military bases.

The attack helicopter was invented by the US in the 1960s, after the development of the UH-1 the need for armed variants became a reality during the Vietnam war, the US air cavalry was suffering significant losses landing in host landing zones with Vietnamese forces killing US troops as they dismounted from UH-1s which had to slow to hover and land. The first attack helicopters were armed UH-1s which could carry aircraft rockets and machine guns. Experiments through the early phase of Vietnam resulted in many different variants of UH-1 attack helicopters, rather than continuing with a loosely organized system, the US Army ordered the creation of a dedicated helicopter that would use the same transmission and flight controls, the legendary helicopter company Bell redesigned the UH-1 with a tandem fighter jet like layout making the wide-bodied UH-1 into a narrow jet-like airframe, the AH-1 Cobra was the first dedicated attack helicopter it was widely used to support air cavalry operations into and beyond Vietnam, where it would escort transport helicopters into battle and attack the landing zone prior the helicopters offloading their troops, this provided effect in battle as defending forces quickly where suppressed by the firepower of the early attack helicopters.

The recon class is used to scout across the battlefield quickly and locate enemy bases and military points, the recon class can’t capture objectives, but they can designate targets for defenders to strike from far away, they can also link to drones to share data between units. The recon class is either unarmed or lightly armed, there are a few specialized variants that carry heavy firepower namely ATGMs but generally, they have less ammo and fuel than attack helicopters. They carry a single pilot but can mount a second pilot to operate the weapons, and there are some variants that mount door gunners.

The transport helicopter can carry out a lot more roles on the battlefield. Including transporting supplies for ground forces, they can also capture objectives with troops, rescue downed pilots, hunt submarines in ASW, and transport ground vehicles. Lastly, they can be armed and turned into giant flying weapons platforms. The transport helicopter needs only a pilot to fly, but it has up to two additional network seats for door gunners, or sonar operators.
ASW variants = Pilot + Sonar Operator + Weapons(Torpedo/Antiship) Supply variants = Pilot + 2 Door Gunners CSAR variants = Pilot + Winch/Sling Operator Troop carry variants = Pilot + 2 Door Gunners Gunship variants = Pilot + 2 Door Gunners	ASW hunts submarines’ Sonar and Torpedos CSAR rescued downed pilots with Winch Supply carries stuff with a Sling Gunship carries door gunners + Rockets ATGMs Transport carries door gunners and can capture objectives with repealing troops that fast rope.

WEST M2 (less ammo, but very good) EAST KORD	Minigun(rapid fire)	WEST M240(average) EAST PKM

The Door Gunner is a CROWS Turret on the side of a helicopter.
The main difference is the CROWS turret needs to be configurable for each weapon so we can mount an M2 or a Minigun, PKM, etc. The door gunner UI is a sight and an ammo counter. The Door Gunner can be killed before the aircraft is destroyed. When the helicopter lands to resupply waiting a certain amount of time will respawn the door gunner.

The winch is used for CSAR missions, you must fly to a location and rescue a downed pilot, if the plane crashes it will have a parachute and crash site, and the pilot will not be far from these, you must recover the pilot, by hovering over the pilot and lowering the winch to recover the pilot, once this is done you must return the FARP to unload the Pilot, who will then be able to respawn in a jet and continue.

Smoke/Engine Fire Smoke damage and fires will happen based on the damage to the vehicle, an engine fire, and cargo fire, are all possible states for the vehicle, a fire must be dealt with as it will spread to other systems and destroy the vehicle, you can use fire suppression systems to counter it, the smoke and fire effects should be shader graph effects which are drop in and controlled from the properties of the shader graph.
Lights the various vehicle will have their own light rigging and internal lights, which will cover things like landing lights, beacons, and navigation lights, cockpit lights are used
for Night Vision/Thermal the game will support switching to both NVG and FLIR effects these are down using the volume custom profiles for the HDRP, there are two prefabs for FLIR and NVG, they must be set up correctly to work but they can then be toggled on and off, you can use this for anywhere you need to display the effect.
Jamming is a state that can happen when you are weapon is jammed or electronically jammed by someone else, the idea is the effect of being jammed will display glitches and fuzzy display to interfere with the player’s ability to see the battlefield, jamming and ECM warfare will be primarily displayed from these post-processing filters which use Kino effects systems, physical jams will be displayed as a warning that requires action to clean.
Cockpit Fog, the weather will make the glass fog up you must turn on the defoggersCockpit Blackout, pulling high gees make you black out you fade in and out of Black
Cockpit Broken Glass The broken glass and damage to the cockpit is done using the Kino effects overlays and swapping out with the broken glass graphics, we can also disable the use of the various turrets and systems to simulate them breaking on the vehicles. For example, you can disable the rotation of the turret to simulate the effect of the turret jamming.

Rules
Hardpoints have a few rules Generally, they have a weight limit and a “type” limit ie an air-to-ground missile can only fit on the inner pylons, whereas air-to-air missiles could fit on the Wing tips, generally, the hardpoint can fit any weapon on it, we will preconfigure weapons that have more than one munition on the pylon, there are some situations where you could have more than one missile type IE a laser-guided missile and a radar-guided missile fit in the same pylon, in this case, you would have to be able to support any missile in the pylon. The rocket pods are a variant of this with just more unguided missiles in the pod, but depending on the aircraft they can carry so many of these missiles, for example, the AGM-65 maverick is a large missile, it can only be carried on one pylon on a helicopter and certain aircraft, but on others, it can be carrying on triple mounts.	A radar guided missile and laser guided missile on the same pylon, notice the seeker heads are different

Custom Loadouts

Bombs	These include a wide selection of dumb bombs to smart bombs, from small-diameter bombs to the mother of all bombs. The general rule is a bomb uses its inertia and gravity to fall to the earth laser-guided bombs use control fins to follow a laser beam, and GPS-guided bombs try to hit a precise static location on the map, generally, bombs are used for static targets but some “glide bombs” are light enough to behave like a missile. Cluster Bombs have submunition
Missiles	Missiles can change their course to follow a target, they can hit moving targets or static targets and generally allow the player to avoid being too close to the enemy. Missile seekers come in a wide range of types all of which can be countered by a countermeasure system. For example, IR missiles can be countered by Flares or DIRCM.
Fuel Tanks	Fuel tanks increase the internal fuel and combat radius of aircraft; they reduce the maneuverability of the aircraft as a penalty. They can be detected during flight to increase the flight maneuverability if you need to dogfight or if they are empty and do not long carry fuel. If the aircraft is equipped with fuel tanks it will use the fuel in the tanks first and then use its internal field, then its aux fuel tank.
Targeting Pod	Targeting pods allow the aircraft to see ground targets and track and guide munitions onto the target, some aircraft can still drop guided munitions while they can “lase” the target, this is called “self-lasing” which means the aircraft can use the laser on the aircraft to guide a missile while still flying away from the target.
ECM Pods	ECM pods grant abilities like jamming and radar warning for aircraft, this allows them to detect and avoid SAMs and other fighters who are activating and looking for them with their radars, ECM pods can reduce the effectiveness of radars and can perform a number of digital attacks on enemy aircraft this can include things like tricking the radar into the location of aircraft or feeding bad attitude data into an enemy aircraft causing them to crash.
Gun Pods	Not all aircraft and helicopters are designed with guns, a gun pod allows them to carry the same cannon or machine guns that other aircraft can, and a pod can be reloaded when it lands,
Rocket Pods	fire unguided ballistic rockets that streak towards their targets leaving a trail of smoke back to the helicopter, they are most effective against light armor, ground vehicles, and static targets. Rockets are the most common weapon used for ground attacks, but they are not precise, so you could easily kill civilians if they are used without taking care to aim at your target.

Lock-on modes are the rules that govern how and when an aircraft or helicopter can fire at a target, the use of precision-guided missiles is allowed by using these modes,

Characteristics
Dogfight – Effects things like your g-load limit, which will make you back out at higher g loads, this lets you push the aircraft slightly beyond its limits, with speed and turning
Sensor – how quickly you can use the onboard sensors to track, detect and lock on to targets. But how well you employ them is up the BVR score.
BVR– how you handle sensors and weapons together, having a high BVR rating means they can operate both the senors and quickly fire them.

MODE	Abbreviation	`RULES
TEAM VS MODE	TDG	Two teams try to eliminate each other, best of 3/5/7 each round is capped at 15m you start with a set amount of points, for kills/assists you earn more towards the next round. You earn money for resupplying your FOBs. Maps are smaller in size.
TEAM OBJECTIVE [RANDOM]	TO(R)	Two teams try to capture (random) points and earn money for capturing the objectives, this is divided between the entire team, only Recon, 8×8, IFV and Transport Helicopters can capture points. When you die you can respawn as many times as you you have to respawn tickets, purchasing vehicles comes from your balance. You can earn money by resupplying objectives/FOBs, or killing the enemy in addition to capture objectives
TEAM INVASION	TI	One team must defend a set of objectives from the other, each capture earns them more money, the attacking team starts out with less money and must earn it, the defenders earn money the longer they hold onto cap points, the more cap points the more they earn. You earn money for resupplying FOBs.

Class	Role	Example
Recon	These are fast lightly armored 4×4 and 6×6 vehicles that can scout and find enemy units and report back to the team, they can drop sensors which can detect the movement of enemy forces and jammers over a limited time, they can deploy drones and remotely operate them to call in artillery strikes, but are limited to light armor, CROWS, some recon units can have specialized weapons (ATGM/SAM) but at the cost of general purpose weapons(Machine guns) or speed, most setups for Recon are a driver and a gunner, one drives and the other operates the weapon. Some can take up to three with the third person being the drone operator who calls in artillery strikes VARIANTS – unlock these BASIC – RECON – CROWS PKM Can deploy and detect jammers.

Assault	These are all armored vehicles that have a turret and a weapon using a cannon, they are designed to attack an objective to destroy infantry or other vehicles. Tanks, IFVs, 8×8,6x6s are all in the class. Their weakness is they burn fuel quickly and must be resupplied over the course of a long battle, they can quickly run out of ammo and become useless targets for air and long range weapons. Assault is the slowest class and can be countered by airstrikes and long range attacks so straying too far from air defense units will expose you but using your firepower and mobility you can quickly destroy anything you can find. Generally the Assault class will require 3 max players, a tank needs 2, a IFV can run with only 2 usually the driver, gunner, the optional commander(operates the secondary CROWS) ASSAULT has two main groups, 8×8, IFV and TANKS ONLY the FIRST can capture “objectives” or CAP points, these are the units which can take objectives and must be present for the capture of the objectives for MISSIONs. Tanks can attack but can’t capture objective points. MBT is Cannon + MG Tank has mix of SABOT/HEAT/HE Shells IFV is AutoCannon + ATGM	The rough speed order for Assault vehicles is Fastest 6×6 wheeled go on roads but weak offroading 8×8 wheeled, good on roads and offroads, the best of both IFV tracks make it slower but faster then the tank Tanks tanks trade speed for armor Slowest Assault vehicles have cannons and can cause destruction to the battlefield, there weapons use the dino fracture warheads which cause destruction, this can change the buildings which can be blow up, they can also run over trees and generally smash walls/buildings causing destruction to the cities, using assault vehicle to attack a objective is how they are best used.

Support	The support class are APCs and LOGIS Trucks which can deploy things to help your team and prevent the enemy from overwhelming attacking you, they are the only class that are given SUPPLY points and can create structures during gameplay. Which makes them unique; they are also very lightly armed and easy prey for even the lightly armed MG turrets and AI factions, and in the case of LOGI 5 ton trucks unarmored you can get shot as the driver. The support class has four basic features, are effectively the “supply” class, LOGI and APCs vehicles work together to create a network of resupply points that help your team attack and win objectives over the large battlefields by supplying fuel and ammo to the other classes. The way they do this is the APC class can build and deploy turrets and supply points on the map. The convert SUPPLY points they carry into construction of SUPPORT TURRETS Once a turret is built it can be deconstructed and some of the points are returned to the vehicle which is deconstructing it. The APC can deploy anti-vehicle mines as an option in its radial menu, supply bases (FARP or FOB), jammers, and defensive turrets which can attack aircraft or other vehicles. The APC can carry a fixed number of build points and each time they want to build something they must spend build points to deploy it, various APCs vehicles have various stats, renewing build points can only be done from the main base,the resupply bases the APCs deploys can be resupply with FUEL and AMMO, this can come from a 5 ton supply trucks or the APC itself which can bring supplies over and over as other vehicles resupply with ammo and fuel. which in turn allows it to resupply tanks recon and defenders around it. A support class can be played by one or two people, only a driver is required, a second player can operate the defensive weapons (CROWS) and guard the other player while they hold down the building commands radial menus which prevents them from doing anything else. The APC can destroy enemy mines if it finds them. The APC is equipped with a MFD for blowing up IEDs, which is a simple range sensor that tells the player the mine is in the range of the vehicle but not where it is and a button to blow up mines inside the range of the sensor pushing it blows up any anti-tank mines in the range of the APCs range sensor. The APC can deploy turrets which can attach other vehicles or aircraft, in a menu in game, when the turret is deployed it is a AAA types of turret, the AAA can target both Air and Ground forces, it can be designated a ATGM turret or a SAM turret, afterwards this gives them the ability to target heavy armor and aircraft better. A SAM turret is weak against ground, and an ATGM turret is weak against air. The supply class can deploy a jammer which jams the sensors and communications of the other team, this jammer broadcasts over a wide range and gives the other team an advantage by making communications and navigation harder inside of that zone. The jammer can be destroyed by light arms and has low health, it is small and can be hidden well but can’t be repaired or replaced onces its destroyed another jammer must be deployed in its place.

It is now empty and must return to the main base to resupply the points. If the 5 ton truck goes to the Resupply base it can deposit its 2000 points to it and the APC can resupply from there without having to return to base.

Defender	The defender classes are general long range attack vehicles, they can move around the battlefield quickly but have limited armor, require time to deploy and greatly increase the ability of the team to defend objectives, while they are in transit to those objectives they are very vulnerable and are essentially trucks or lightly armored vehicles, MLRS, Artillery, SAMs, S300 etc are all defenders which can move to a rear location deploy and then use there sensors to shoot down or attack from long range the enemy they can coordinate with the recon drones class to attack with the long range weapons, a player playing as the Defender will general be a three person team but can play as any role in the vehicle.	When a defender is deployed it can attack targets from long range, it only requires one person to use but having more people will allow you to be more effective. a driver for artillery it will move the vehicle into position, the range of the gun is display by the second crew the tactical map, who looks at a map of the ranges and tells the third crew the gunner who operates the canon where to fire, the three man crew must work together to fire their weapons, the drive can also function as the any of the roles allow effective one manned of the defender The SAM and MLRS work the same, with the drive moving the vehicles around and controlling when they deploy and the second crew controlling the radar/map which tells the third crew where to fire at an angle/direction you can dial in artillery strikes or punch in GPS points and send a precise guided missile strike.

Turret Name	Description
MG Site (Rebel Only)	Firing a MG at you; doesn’t run out of ammo unlike the other turrets. Fires burst of tracers that do no damage to tanks, but damages recon/defenders/support vehicles, can flatten the tires of wheeled vehicles
RPG Site (Rebel Only)	Weaker than ATGM sites but serves the same purpose can be deadly if you’re caught, fires rockets that don’t track, the RPG site effectively doesn’t run out of ammo, you need to blow it up.
ATGM Site 100 Points	The basic ATGM anti-vehicle turret, fires an ATGM missile out for a good distance, AI will detect and fire at anything that it can kill, once you run out of ammo it must be resupplied.
AAA Site 50 Points	The basic turret you can build is a anti-air turret is a AAA site, it has dual use as being anti-air and anti-vehicle, its guns have large ammo supply and can target ground units its cheaper then the SAM site but much less effective against fast moving aircraft for the NATO it’s a VULCAN for the RUSSIANs its the ZSU, this is a simple turret when it runs load on ammo the battlefield commander should see this in the map.
SAM Site 250 Points	The high end anti-air turret the SAM site will deploy a quad launcher for 12 anti-air missiles, these missiles are effective against helicopters and aircraft that fall into its kill range, they have a limited reload count of 3 so once they run out of ammo they need to be resupplied. If the SAM site is inside of the radius of the RADAR Site it will automatically lock onto targets and fire at anything inside the RADAR detection range which is greater then the default local range of the SAM site.
Jamming Site 300 Points	The jamming site will block either radio or GPS making communication or using waypoints difficult, the jamming sites can be detected by recon units, drones, and recon helicopters who can take them out, but this will require hunting them down. Jamming sites don’t run out of ammo, they either go on or off which can be done by the battlefield commander.
Radar Site 200 points	A Radar site can give SAM the ability to automatically lock onto aircraft that extend within their range, they improve the situation awareness of local vehicle radars and can allow for the sharing of data-between anyone inside the range, can can be jammed by jammers which lower their effectiveness portionally to the distance from the jammer so jammer range is 100m the radar is 50m from the jammer the radar radius is reduced 50% of the normal amount
FOB/FARP Station 500 points	The FOB/FARP Station can repair damaged components and restore health to vehicles, it also refuels and rearms vehicles, at a rate per vehicle, defined in the configuration. aircraft can not be repaired and must refuel in the air or land to rearm/repair, helicopters must land to repair at FARPs.

The main UX of the combat missions used the two camera modes, an interior cockpit camera which is a first person POV, and an exterior cockpit camera, which is a orbital rotation, this setting can be disable from the options in the lobby, for realism the player can control if the external camera is allowed during a match. When the exterior camera is active the external HUD and MFD displays are active this allows the player to see the stats of the vehicle from outside. When disabled you can only view from inside the aircraft you must focus on the MFD to get the same information.The external Camera shows two main MFDs and the HUD. Both the MFD/HUD display information about targets and the aircraft so it’s important to be able to look at them at all times, you can hide the MFD by toggling them off. The Helmet Mounted Display is done by turning on the Overlay post processing effect and using the HMD graphic . The control of the MFD is centrally controlled by the MFDController script, and then each individual MFD has their own MFD Controller with display logici which connects to the respective vehicle controller.
Interior and Exterior Cameras

MFD	Description
	The System MFD is used to show the internal systems of the vehicle, this can be anything from the lights, to the fuel pressure, temperature and the oil pressure, its design to be flexible and generic to support any label system. For aircraft it should display the remaining time left before you run out of fuel. Engine Name Displays the health of the components Fuel remaining, engine heat, Engine Name,Oil pressure, If the APU is on,If the Lights are on,If the NBC system is on, If Data Link is on If Sensors are Online Is the Countermeasures are online
	The Warning MFD displays alerts and warning indications, if the OIL LOW or FUEL LOW warning will show up here, if you took damage or are being jammed it will show here, any issues related to the vehicle
	The winch MFD displays information related to the tension on the line, height of the helicopter from the ground and the status of the winch and basket, which is used to recuse down pilots and to recovery/ transport cargo in the sling, if you are transporting something in the sling the winch MFD will help you from losing control of the cargo.
	The Weapons MFD displays information about the onboard weapons, missiles, rockets and guns ammo are displayed, including the type and mode, countermeasures and active defense modes can be displayed. DIRCM / Master Arm on/off, LOBL/LOAL/ Salvo rate, and datalink/radar modes
	Flight Altimeter and artificial horizon, speed and angle
	Fire control radar, displays targets and current tracks, things you want to blow up, but friendly show up here as well so you need to make sure you know what you’re shooting. You can scan and move adjust the focus on the radar beam and lock onto and track / ID targets
	Crew mission briefing will show information about the current objectives where to go and what to do, who is in the match and if they are still in the game
	This is the radio, this is used to turn off the radio chatter and background music, noise, and to adjust the VOIP settings in game without having to open the settings menu.
	The RWR or Radar Warning Receiver is a MFD that is used to display enemy radar and detection system that are trying to lock onto you and fire missiles at you, if and when they do fire a missile at you the RWR will tell you the direction and range of the missile, what type it is and who fired it, it will help you jam and avoid the missile. The RWR will also display warning about laser and other types of detection systems,
	Active Sonar Search, the MFD allows you to focus and search using active sonar, this will detect any submarines inside the detection radius it will also alert them to your location, the active sonar can be used by submarines helicopter and surface ships, once locked on it can feed into fire control solutions for torpedoes.
	The Passive sonar MFD displays a list of sound contacts and their possible signatures, you can try to analyze them and detect what they are based on the range and their own noise, once you classify a target you can know if it’s hostile or friendly.
	Torpedo Fire Control, and Sonay Bony, used for ASW warfare, the helicopter will drop sonar bonys into the water to detect submarines, based on the depth and detection they can then deploy torpedoes to destroy the submarine you can monitor the status of individual sonar bonus in the upper view and the controls of the torpedo in the lower view.
	The MAD detector detects the magnetic fields of metal objects and the detection of other systems in a fusion which displays all underwater contacts, you can use this to target submarines.
	The ESM is a passive detection system which uses the electronic emission of other vehicles to classify and range them, because the ESM is passive it can’t be detected but is also weak to detect long range targets, it is a stealth detection method that allows submarines and ships to detect each other.
	The Target MFD is the view of the vehicles targeting camera using a FLIR or Low Light TV system which can display and zoom in to the target to classify it and confirm missile hit the target, the Target MFD is used to spot infantry and ground vehicles by vehicles and tanks.
	The EOD MFD shows nearby mines and allows you to remotely trigger them, it gives you the est distance to the mine,

Russian HUD	American HUD

Description	HUD Mode
Used for flying gives you info about you attitude and heading, roll, pitch, and angles
Winch HUD, shows the location of the Target, the angle that the winch is at the zone that the winch should remain inside of
Rocket alignment, when firing rockets this the common sight used to line up the rockets
The sign for the chain gun, this will be used for most 20mm/30mm cannons
The HUD for the machine guns, this moves based on the off bore of the gun so if the helicopter rotates it will move based on the level flight
This missile locks on a laser guided view, the box is dashed until the laser turns on, then whatever is inside the box the missile will track and fly towards, if the target is moving the laser must also move to track the target.
The IR HUD is used to guide IR guided missiles, you just need to keep the target inside of the circle until you hear to lock on tone, then you can fire and forget, the IR guided missile will home in and the target heat source.
Torpedo launch, the torpedo HUD slows the height that you need to be at to release to torpedo and the general direction you need to be in for the torpedo to go in once it hits the water the torpedo will go active and self-guide itself towards it target.

Damage Name	Effects Vehicle Type	Crew Repair	Field Repair	Base Repair
Track Disabled	Ground Only, when the tracks are disable you can’t move, you can still fight, you need to repair at a base at 50% damage you move 50% slower. 25% you move at 25% normal speed etc	Yes	Yes	Yes
Turret Disabled	Ground/Helo/Sea, a disabled turret means you can’t move it you can still shoot it at anything that moves in front of it as long as its health is over 25% you can move the tank, at 50% the turret rotates with 50% of the speed etc, if the tank or helicopters turret is disabled/ destroyed it can only be repaired at a station the crew can’t repair it	No	Yes	Yes
Engine Disabled	All, if the engine is disabled the tank can’t move, 25% will get the engine to turn back on, but it will move at 50% speed and torque will be lower making it impossible to go up steep inclines.	Yes	Yes	Yes
Laser Damaged	All if the laser is damaged you can’t use the Laser range finder, so you won’t get distance to target this will make ranging you weapons harder, you can live without a laser, but for certain weapons it will make it impossible to use for example Laser guided missile can’t be guided and have to be painted by other teammates.There are few ways to damage the laser, if the turret is hit with a round it can damage the laser as well, and frequently overheating the laser can also damage it.	No	Yes	Yes
Fire Control Disabled	All the fire control display allows you as the player to see the HUD and information about the battlefield, when the FCR is disabled you can’t access the HUD and can see a limited tactical view of the battlefield, depending on the damage your screen might be broken and you will see a broken glass effect	No	Yes	Yes
Ammo Fire	Ground/Sea, a ammo fire can happen damage is done to a ammo box collider, this will trigger a ammo fire, using the fire suppression system is the only way to prevent it spreading and exploding, you must do this quickly after the alert is trigger, if not the tank will like explode killing the crew, if you successful put out the fire, the damage effect reduces the total ammo of ammo you can carry,	No	Yes	Yes
Engine Fire	All a engine fire is similar to a ammo fire, in that they both can be suppressed by the fire suppression system if you leave a engine fire it will quickly spread to other parts and can cause a ammo fire, it can also disable the engine, if you trigger the fire suppression before the fire icon is below 50% the engine will be at 50% anything under 25% disables the engine, if the engine burns out the crew can repair it to 25% allowing them to return to a repair base	Yes	Yes	Yes
Oil Leak	All a oil leak can happen from being hit anywhere, a oil leak will slowly reduce the speed of a tank, it will increase the speed you burn fuel and overall reduce the performance of the vehicle, it can’t be repaired in by the crew and has to be repair by a base	No	Yes	Yes
Radio Jammed	All when you radios are jammed you are unable to use the VOIP with your team, you coms can be jammed by hostile enemies, when your being jammed your screen will glitch and your coms will sound staticy, the only way to stop this jamming is to destroy the jammer	No	Yes	Yes
GPS Jammed	All a gps jammed vehicle can’t use the tactical maps and waypoint system is disabled so waypoints and navigation stop working, you can only stop GPS jamming by destroying the jammer,	No	Yes	Yes
Cargo Fire	All a cargo fire can happen if a ship takes ground fire, the fire will spread to the other parts of the aircraft, cargo fires are just as dangerous as engine fires, only it will take more time to spread to the engine.	No	Yes	Yes
Sling Damaged	Helo Only if the sling is damaged the helicopter can’t carry a recon vehicle or resupply a base, a damaged sling can only be repaired by landing and repairing at a FARP	No	Yes	Yes
Winch Damaged	Helo Only if the winch is damaged you can’t lower it to recover pilots, or use the sonar for ASW helicopters, it will require you to return to base to repair the winch is damaged deployed you won’t be able to recall it and will have to fly with it hanging.	No	Yes	Yes
Radar Damaged	All if the radar is damaged you will lose the ability to target enemies with it, your HUD will lose the ability to track targets on the map, the radar can’t be repaired by a crew and needs to be repaired at a field base. Guided missiles won’t work without the radar	No	Yes	Yes
FLIR/NVG Damaged	All if the FLIR is damaged you won’t be able to use the FLIR or NVG vision modes, this will limit you vision to normal daylight mode, in the night you will not be able to see far, having to use your headlights, the FLIR will make you less effective as you won’t be able to see hiding enemies, you need to repair this at a field base.	No	Yes	Yes
Flight Controls Damaged	Air Only, aircraft that have damaged flight controls will fly more sluggish and can’t maneuver, 50% will serious reduce the ability of the aircraft to turn and climb, 25% and the aircraft HUD and flight UI will stop working, you won’t be able to tell you airspeed and attitude	No	Yes	Yes
Rotor Damaged	Helo Only if the rotor is damaged it will affect the pitch and rate of climb on the helicopter this makes you less able to move and avoid fire, you can still fly but you will always be dropping and have to always be increase your lift	No	Yes	Yes
Deployment Damaged	Defender class vehicles will lose the ability to deploy there weapons, this is critical can can be crew repaired to 25% this allows the weapon to fire but much slower and with less accuracy, 50% make it half as slow	Yes	Yes	Yes
Low Fuel	All when the vehicle is low on fuel you will see this warning it means you have less then 25% fuel left the vehicle runs out of fuel it will need to be resupplied, you are at the mercy of your team who can bring you fuel and transfer it to you, the APC carries to most so it can help you get you to a field base	No	Yes	Yes
Flat Tire	Wheeled Only The same as a disabled track, only for vehicles with wheels.

Guidance Type
IR/Sound/Heat Seeking	SAM, AAM, ATGM, Torpedos	These use the tail chasing they try to overtake the target by chasing and moving faster homing in on the source
Radar-Active – Mid Course	SAM,AAM, ATGM, SSM	Mid course means its gets updated while in flight, the missile is told a new location, this can be done by its own radar or a data-linked one
Radar-Semi Active	SSM, AAM, SAM	The missile will try to hit a vector based on a known course, if the target moves radically in a different direction you can miss.
Laser Guide/Optical Guided	AAM, SAM, ATGM, SSM	The missile hits what the target is being looked at, guidance is sent to the missile to make sure it hits the spot, the target must be kept on it for all phases of the flight.

Fire Suppression System The vehicles can light on fire, the FSS will put that fire out Particle effects for the fire and smoke, and then carbon halon gas which put out the fire, fire + smoke + colored smoke	– This stops cargo/engine/ammo fires has a set number of uses before it needs to be resupplied, mostly for aircraft but tanks have this as well.
Flares/Chaff This is the launch box to spawn them and eject them, plus a prefab for the flare,which is itself a light and a particle effect for the flare and smoke	Flares and Chaff can distract IR and Radar guided missiles, they will cause the missile to go after the flare instead of the aircraft, the more flares are deployed the greater the chance that the missile will lock onto one of those flares, flares/chaff have a limited number of uses, but this is usually high (90 flares)
Decoys (The Rope kit + sensors)	A decoy is a small target which confuses a missile into thinking its the target, the decoy can be used for ships as well, decoys can be deploy and returned using a long wire to connect to the decoy
Radar/Laser Detectors/Jammers	Radar/Laser Detectors detect lasers being pointed at them and alert the player that they are being targeted, Radar Warning Receivers do this at longer ranges, Radar and Laser jammers prevent those systems from locking onto the target by interfering with the return signal.
DIRCM IR Jammers	DIRCM or Direct Infra Red Counter Measures
ERA Armor
Anti-Missile Systems	APS come in two types APS and LAPS, APS have a max ammo count and run out, they can fire faster generally then LAPS but run out of ammo, LAPS or Laser APS use a laser which does not run out of ammo the LAPS is the “top tier” countermeasure zaps almost anything that comes its way.

Boats Class

Boats are characterized as being smaller and designed for shallow water or near shore operations, boats can be carried by ships and are crewed by smaller numbers. Boats generally have less endurance and can’t be controlled by the world map with the exception of patrol boats. Patrol boats can be used to TACTICAL OPS other ships and patrol your waters.

Sea Lanches

Sea launches are small Rigid hulled inflatable boats that range from 6m to 12m in length they generally have one heavy machine gun up to 30mm, they are used by larger ships to capture smaller ones, a boarding party can then seize control of the ship and inspect it or arrest the crew.

Fast Attack Boats

The fast attack boat is designed to act like an attack helicopter on the water, it carries guns and missiles and is designed solely to fight above its weight class, fast attack boats have a crew of up to three but can be soloed with one driver/gunner and two door gunners.

Patrol Boat

A patrol boat is the largest of the boat classes, nearly a ship, and designed to operate for short periods at sea patrolling waters around the coastal areas. Patrol ships can be controlled from the world map, they are armed with guns and missiles and able to attack a larger ship if they discover it, but they lack long-endurance supplies such as food, so they will quickly become ineffective if they are too far from shore for too long
.

Landing Ships/Hovercrafts

Ships designed to land troops and tanks landing ships and hovercraft of LCAC are made to bring tanks ashore during landings, they are lightly armed but can attack and defend themselves from attack. Reaching shore and deploying your cargo allows you to land forces and complete resupplying and bring more vehicles for your team to use.

Capital Ship Class

Capital Ships are large surface vessels that can stay at sea for long periods and can travel in the deep blue water of the world’s oceans. The capital ship can carry several weapons and sensors which allows them to act as mobile weapons launchers able to strike deep inland and blockade ports, sea control etc. Capital ships can patrol the world’s oceans conducting sea control missions allowing for control over critical sea lanes and chokepoints. Capital ships are expensive and reserved for the world’s military powers, throughout history a symbol of world power the navy has its limits and carries with it massive costs as ships and sea-based warfare is unrelenting, developing advanced technology to build highly advanced capital ships will help solve this.

Corvettes have a displacement between 500 and 3,000 long tons (510 and 3,050 t) and measure 180–420 ft (55–128 m) in length. They are usually armed with medium- and small-caliber guns, surface-to-surface missiles, surface-to-air missiles (SAM), and anti-submarine weapons. Many can accommodate a small or medium anti-submarine warfare helicopter.

The carrier is one of the three symbols of naval power. The carrier provides you with a launch platform for attack aircraft and helicopters which can carry out long-range strikes and attack targets deep in land. Carriers provide you with a strategic weapon that can carry diplomacy power, moving your carrier off the coast of a rival power will increase your ability to strike that power. Carriers are critical and expensive, costing billions of dollars and requiring extensive training to function, only a few countries in the world can deploy carriers, and even fewer nuclear power ones.

CIWS

The assault ships are a combination of the legacy of amphibious operations and the new technology of modern warfare. Ships unable to get within close range of shores due to advances in anti-shipping missiles must carry long-range helicopters to launch landing operations, once the beaches are secured, landing ships can be deployed from these assault ships ferriyng ground troops and armor to the battlefield. These landing ships include hovercraft and traditional flat-bottom landing craft.

Submarines

can move below the surface of the water using its internal sensors to navigate. The submarine is the most stealthy of all naval ships, the submarine can carry conventional and nuclear weapons, and is considered an advanced technology, the majority of nations can not build their own submarines, the submarine is very expensive and can require specialized training, and military bases to support them. Submarines come generally the following

SSGN

The SSGN is a guided missile submarine, designed around carrying a large set of land attack missiles, the SSGN is the evolution of the SSBN which would normally carry nuclear weapons. In an effort to give these types of submarines more use, SSGNs were developed to allow submarines to carry out land attack missions, a single SSGN can carry as many as 100 TLAMs.SSK/P

When a submarine is not nuclear power it is considered a conventional submarine, these include diesel-electric and air-independent power systems, both of these have limitations, the diesel-electric must surface to run generators, the AIP systems generally use fuel to produce power, they lack the speed of nuclear-powered ships while using there AIP power. (20+kt vs 6kts)

SSN

The standard nuclear attack submarine, the most common type of submarine, the SSN was designed for hunting other submarines and carrying out deep water operations against other navies, sea control operations against commercial traffic, and blockading ports. SSN can carry torpedoes and TLAMs in addition to mines and can be used to carry out special operations missions.

SSBN

The largest of the submarine classes the SSBN carries nuclear ballistic missiles. These can destroy entire cities and are used as a strategic weapons, their movement can be controlled via the world map. SSBNs are not really used in the game, but rather positions and kept alive, their role is to form part of the triad of nuclear forces, the sea-based deterrent. Once deployed they can stay at sea for up to a year.

SSMK

Special mission submarines have emerged over the course of the last 25 years, these submarines range in size but operate underwater in a series of complex missions, either deploying swimmers or tapping undersea cables, the unique mission submarines can carry out a wide array of missions that traditional submarines are not optimized for.

Oil Platforms
Energy Infrastructure Ships
Telecome Infrastructure Ships

The world’s oceans are filled with commercial sea traffic, everything from large cargo ships to commercial fishing boats, and luxury yachts are all present in the ocean. These ships pose a problem for military operations, as they can be mistaken for military ships operating in the area, identification, and classification of ships is an important task to ensure you do not destroy your own civilians and other countries’ ships that are likely to bring resources to trade with you, destroying a cargo ship can cost you millions of dollars and diplomatic incidents.

Biological Sea Traffic

The ocean is also inhabited by a number of large biological life whales and large schools of fish can interact with sensors leading to false contacts. Whales can be detected from miles away.

Warships carry a number of countermeasure systems to defend against incoming attacks, these range depending on the attack, for the most part, we can reuse all the existing countermeasure systems, some of the ships common systems
Smoke	Generally effective masking ships moving close together, smoke can be used in close range combat to hide visually, and hide the ship the smoke will make short range and long range IR missiles unable to lock on. Smoke generally can be seen for miles and will reveal your location.
Flare Decoys	Larger warships will have flare decoys that can be deployed to confuse IR-guided missiles, the flare decoy will eject above and away from the ship if successful the ASM will miss and impact in the sea.
Jammers	Jammers can disable and disrupt the data link between radar-guided missiles and their radars, jammers can affect a wide area or a narrow range on bands and disruption the ability of enemy ships to track you on radar, active jamming can also reveal your location and provide a firing solution against you, jamming should only be used to deny the enemy communications and to disrupt data-links.
DIRCM	The DIRCM on ships are powerful IR lasers that can mask and burn out the sensors of incoming IR-guided missiles, IR lasers can dazzle an incoming missile and force it into the sea. DIRCM can match the IR guidance beams and confuse a missile effectively, they are limited to active laser beams so a ship can carry a limited number of DIRCMs emitters (2-4 per ship) so they can be overwhelmed with saturation attacks.
Torpedo Interceptors	Interceptors use small guided or unguided projectiles to intercept incoming missiles or torpedoes, the interceptor can self-guide and fire and forget, the interceptor usually can be also used as an offensive weapon as well as a defensive weapon. Interceptors exist for Warships, and Submarines, both of which can intercept incoming torpedoes.
Acoustic decoys	These are released from the submarine or surface ship and are used to confuse an acoustic homing torpedo. An acoustic decoy will float in the same place and create a signal that will make the torpedo think it is the submarine. When an acoustic decoy is deployed it can run for several minutes and will eventually run out of power and stop working.

Stealth Reducing the ship’s hull radar cross section greatly increased its survivability as it reduced its radar detection radius in which it can be detected and identified. On the ocean surface, there is no land mass to hide behind making radar highly effective.	Ships RCS has a detection impact 100m Ships with RCS of 1.0 x 10 can be detected from 1000km away on the ocean. 1- 100m x 1000KM

Ship Weapons

Cannons

Come in many different sizes for naval combat and generally have certain uses.
30mm-57mm is good against smaller unarmored ships, fighting in a swarm.
76mm-127mm is good against large warships.155mm and above are good for shore bombardment.

CIWS

CIWS stands for Close-In Weapons System, CIWS is the point defense system for capital ships and is commonly used to intercept incoming missiles and aircraft at point defense, CIWS PDS are the last line of defense of a ship. They require full power and use radar and IR to guide high-power Gatling guns.

Missiles

The missile is the primary weapon in naval warfare as there are a wide range of missiles for different roles. They are broken down into three main categories.
Anti-ship missiles come in various sizes, but most are not able to sink a capital ship with a single strike; smaller boats are not so lucky.
Land Attack Missiles can be used to strike deep inland at static targets like infrastructure and military bases.
Anti-aircraft missiles can be used to shoot down incoming aircraft from far away from the ship keeping it safe.
Missiles come in generally three-speed types

Subsonic – good for long range, generally larger warheads, but can be easily intercepted by the supersonic or hypersonic missiles, usually combines with stealthy design is trade-off
Supersonic – able to travel mach 2+, supersonic missiles generally are able to intercept modern aircraft and drones, have the best flight engagement envelope and can carry warheads large enough to do the damage they can be outrun by hypersonic aircraft, and can’t make high G turns without bleeding energy.
Hypersonic – travels beyond Mach 5+ and can strike targets within seconds of fire, generally less maneuverable, and longer range, but carries a smaller overall warhead and relies on kinetic impact to do damage.

VLS

Vertical Launch Systems have become common on modern warships, they allow for a variety of missiles to be carried in the same space, this allows the VLS to mix between SUBROC, ASM, TLAM, and SAM missiles. Each ship must be balanced between these four types of missiles as having too much of one will limit its ability to attack certain targets. Once a ship has expanded its store of missiles it must return to a military base to rearm. If a resupply ship is nearby it can also resupply the ship at sea. At port, the configuration of the VLS cells can be changed.

TLAM – Tactical Land Attack MissileTLAMs generally are used to hit long distance strategic targets they can vary in warhead and range but generally are inflicted heavy damage similar to an airstrike. The TLAM can be shot down by advanced air defense systems, but also can strike targets from thousands of miles away

AL-ASM – Air launched Anti-shipping missiles, aircraft/helicopters can carry and launch anti-shipping missiles as well as warships, greatly extending the range of warships that can deploy naval helicopters or aircraft, an aircraft carrier can deploy over 30/60 such aircraft each armed with two to four AL-ASM missiles, and helicopter carrier can deploy 24/36 helicopters. These missiles are smaller and do less overall damage but can inflict critical damage and disable sensors and weapons on larger ships and saturate a target attacking from multiple directions simultaneously.

CRAM is a CIWS that uses short-range missiles to intercept other missiles and aircraft, interceptor systems are more advanced than gun-based CIWS, but require longer reloading times than gun-based CIWS, CRAM are able to also target small boats and surface threats.

Generally, Anti-Aircraft missiles are carried on board surface ships to intercept hostile aircraft that are trying to engage them with anti-shipping missiles, SAM on warships range in size and range but generally are divided into three subgroups

Long Range 100km
Medium Range 30km-90km
Short Range Under 30km
Long range missiles are generally much larger and have two stage boosters, which give them extended range, they often require active guidance and are limited in the total number of missiles that can be engaged at the same time, limited by the number of illuminators (2-4)

SUBROC missiles carry a torpedo which can target underwater submarines and engagement beyond the threat range of torpedoes there primary weapon of the submarine, the SUBROC can be fired from up to 20km away and deploy a lightweight torpedo, several SUBROC can be deployed at once

WireguidedHoming

Underwater Rockets

Underwater rockets use a supercavitation bubble of gas to reduce the friction of water on the surface of the rocket, this allows the rocket to travel at high speed towards the target, Underwater rockets travel in a straight line and

Mines

There are a few classes of mines but they abstract into two types self-exploded and torpedo mines,
Self exploding mines are the simplest, they have a sensor range that detects when they explode the closer the ship is to the center of the mine the more damage it encounters, mines can damage critical systems, injure crew and sink a submarine or boat if the damage is too much. Mines can use magnetic or acoustic triggers which can be tricked into exploding by minesweepers.

Mines can also release a torpedo when they detect a target in their sensor range and are even more effective they can attack targets beyond their explosive radius; these types of mines can remain undetected on the bottom of the sea floor and require using UUW to destroy.

Repair Supplies	Fuel Supplies	Food Supplies	Ammo Supplies
Your supply of spare parts allows you to make repairs on damaged systems, without it once a sensor is damaged it can’t be repaired at sea, you must return to a port for repairs, repairs take longer in commercial ports, then military ones and military ports can hold submarine pens which repair submarines exclusively.	Each time you plan a new waypoint you consume fuel moving from A to B, your fuel supply roughly determines your range in the ship, the more stops you make along the way increases your fuel usage, nuclear power ships don’t have to worry about this.	Every ship has a crew; the crew requires food to live, automated ships have a reduced crew and thus are able to stay at sea longer without needing this, but ultimately any ship with humans on board will have to return to port to resupply food. Generally, there are food supplies for all crew rationing food will increase the time the ship can stay at sea, but reduces the recovery rate of the crew per watch, if a crew was alert before they will be	Every bullet, missile, and torpedo on the ship is accounted for and when they run out the ship is combat ineffective, so they must be resupplied, this can be done two ways, one the ship can be resupplied at sea with a tender ship, this process takes several days, the ship can not make repairs, but can be resupplied with repair parts. If the ship returns to a home port it can be resupplied faster, and repairs can be conducted at the same time as resupply.

Radar

Radar has both active and passive modes and mechanical and electronically scanned systems.

Radars must track and designate a target or illuminate it with a radio beam to active radar-guided missiles.
Radar delay is the result of the speed it scans.
Mechanical Radars have a delay of up to 60s but are more effective against jamming.

AESA and PESA radars can scan in one direction without delay, but are less effective against jamming.
Radars that are scanning are also emitting EM energy that can be targeted by HARM missiles, which home in on radar systems.

Radar can track a set number of contacts.Sonar

Homeport	The homeport is a start and end point for a ships patrol, during a patrol a ship could conduct a number of missions, the crew on board largely will stay the same, when a ship returns to homeport its crew will change, experience crewmembers might retire or rotate off onto new ships, this will require training to ensure crew operate with high levels of skill, the homeports repairs the ship, rearms, refuels, and can allow for upgrades to the ships hull.
Allied Port	An allied port is any port that the faction has a military agreement with, allied ports can repair, and refuel any ships, it can not rearm a warship, allied ports also rest crew and reset days at sea effects, they can be visited as frequently as required.
Naval Base	A naval base is a military port that the faction controls, it can rearm, refuel any ship and repair any ship excluding submarines, naval bases rest the crew and rest the days at sea effect, they can be visited generally only before or after a mission is started.
Submarine Base	A submarine base is a military port that is designed specifically for submarine repairs the faction controls, it can repair damaged sensors and weapons, rearm, and refuel only submarines, submarine bases rest the crew and rest the days at sea effect, they can be visited generally only before or after a mission is started.
Resupply Ship	A resupply ship can rearm and refuel a ship or submarine without having to return to land, the resupply ship does not reset the days at sea effect, and will not repair damage, they will resupply repair points.
