Update 1.5: September
Update 1.5 is the first content update on the roadmap. US Forces are scheduled to receive the M14, while the NVA receives the Type 56 SKS.
Bell UH-1 Iroquois “Huey”
The existing helicopter models are planned to be updated as an officially licensed Bell UH-1 Iroquois. The roadmap also describes era-appropriate music through a co-pilot-controlled radio, synchronised between nearby Hueys.
The developer wording says the team is looking to bring the radio feature to the game. Treat it as planned, not live, and do not assume it will arrive on the same day as every other Update 1.5 item.
Update 2.0: Khe Sanh and ANZAC
Khe Sanh will be the first post-launch battlefield. The roadmap promises a different environment and new tactical challenges, but it does not yet publish layers, modes, objectives or a release date.
The US faction will expand into US & Allies as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps joins the game. Confirmed additions are the L1A1 SLR, F1 SMG and L16A1 mortar.
Update 3.0: Rung Sat, APCs and specialist forces
Rung Sat is planned as a swamp-and-jungle battlefield. Armoured Personnel Carriers will be introduced for both sides, adding another way to move troops across the ground battle.
The NVA is scheduled to receive the MAT-49 and SVD Dragunov. US & Allies is scheduled to receive the Stoner 63 and a scoped M14, alongside Navy SEALs and Green Berets.
Battalions V1
Battalions is described as a persistent group system for clans and organised communities. V1 is planned to support group formation, statistics, shared progression, content unlocks and joining servers with other members. The feature has no public release date.
What to watch next
- A specific September date and final scope for Update 1.5.
