Lol CNN has footage of the VDV chilling on the day Ukraine claimed they pushed them out. No idea why there's such a concerted effort to frame Hostomel as a failure, they took it day one with minimal casualties. The advance in Kiev and Irpin got fucked up sure, but Hostomel was a success and there's literally nothing indicating otherwise.

Played the demo, and since I played terminator i will compare it with that
The good
>infantry uses trees, cars, everything as cover now, so their survivability is higher
>morale, suppression and stamina finally were added
>supposedly, infantry can carry different caliber same type weapons, so 5.45 and 7.62 at same time is supposedly possible.
>missions have an i sign spread which you can click to read about the events in slightly more detail regarding the local region
>vehicles have a chance to explode now on fire if they have ammunition/supplies (even if used up)
>mortar fire becomes more accurate if unit that has vision over area is a spotter (don’t know how to check that)
>same composer Edlise
The bad
>no encyclopedia to read about units or their stats
>no tutorial which teaches you mechanics, especially bad for a complete newbie to the warfare series or to explain in detail the new mechanics
The ugly
>same warfare engine, so shitty path finding, non optimal use of windows by infantry in buildings, no tube grenade launchers for rifles
>infantry does not use building exterior as cover, so they won’t peak out the corner
>missions are full of bullshit moments, but this is the series standard now. The command unit rushing to enemy position and dying because its full of Ukrs thus giving you a game over is a classic Cats who play mission design philosophy.
Its pretty raw at the moment, let the Rusbros playtest it before Steamchads will get their taste of the patched version.

Good thing honestly, I was worried out of touch bureaucrats were gonna mandate that the game be made easy.

>ugh they totally won at hostomel
Took full control of the airfield and not just outskirts only after the ground forces arrived but by that point it was made useless for any sort of air corridor,
>ugh the advance in Kiev and Irpin got fucked up sure
Those endless tank columns just standing there, menacingly, no, just standing, and doing nothing, god
Something tells me that you can't make much content with just the Hostomel, are they going to make up alt-history, well more than they already prolly did with using only RU accounts to not get gulagd. Or will they show how the elite VDV units which partook in Hostomel's gesture of goodwill, were later used in quite pointless human-wave tactics during the countless assaults of the ruin that used to be Bakhmut

Watched about half, here are some key points
>no tutorials/ encyclopedia/achievements because deadlines + they were expecting mostly series vets on first days to buy the game. When/if steam version is released, they will be added, along with achievements and ironman mode.
>Bucha map was made, but after a month they couldn't get it to make fun
>got a lot of criticism for 6th mission which according to soldier vets is exactly how things went down, but was simply not fun for players.
>steam version build was submitted, they are waiting for moderation to green light it
>2000 copies sold in first day, but they are happy with the result considering very limited release and taking into account their experience with Syrian warfare. Team was thinking they'd get 1000 copies in first week since vkplay is unpopular and gets 5-15% from Ru region compared to steam Ru region according to other companies' experience

>Russian gamedevs have to make shitty propaganda games to not get drafted into the trenches of Donetsk Oblast

They have been doing it... for free. Before this game there was a Syrian Warfare from the same devs made in 2016-2017 (!!!), with you basically playing as Wagner ain Syria. The real irony is that the first entry in the series was a game titled quite literally "Warfare" (2008) and it was about the US intervening in a civil war in Saudi Arabia. The devs went full circle from Ameriboos to Russian nationalists.

>>Bucha map was made, but after a month they couldn't get it to make fun
I imagine that would be because the two notable actions in bucha was a massacre/mass rape of civilians, and a zigger mechanized coloumn being destroyed

Propaganda doesn't work if you're just preaching to the converted. All the russian-owned games hosted in Cyprus follow the same pattern
>market to the west showing american hardware being cool
>market completely differently in russia and the global south
>once you have a stable playerbase, slowly adjust balance to make western equipment seem shit and russian equipment seem impossibly strong
>western players cry about shit balance
>snidely turn to the global south and say "look how NATOIDs cry. We balance like history and reality but they can't accept the truth"
Ingroup psychology requires percieved opposition, which is why all these propaganda games need to court a western audience and then go out of their way to piss them off. They aren't run for profit, they make all their money off of state subsidy and kickbacks funded by oil money. But they NEED an angry american on steam saying "game is shit abrams can't pen a T-34 because putinist devs worship this stalinium shitbox" so they can show it to gullible south africans and say "look how arrogant and foolish decadent west is. Doesn't it feel good to kill him? Sign contract now and we make warthunder real for you"

>when did ukraine say they want to de-nazify russia and install a puppet regime in moscow?
Z says it at least once a week.
>when you stop carpet bombing their civilians
Nobody is using carpet bombs in ukraine, please stop blindly parroting what you hear other retards say.

It's crazy how consequential this engagement ended up being. This one battle arguably saved Ukraine.
Airport gets taken, transports which were en route I believe would have immediately landed and unloaded, followed by heavy armor, followed by a relatively unchecked march to the capital.
I believe they had a unit of natl guard somewhere between the airport and the city but it would not have been enough to turn back the increasingly numerous troop and machinery being unloaded at Hostomel.
The details are fuzzy but there are some great breakdowns on YouTube on how it unfolded and how critical the outcome of this initial engagement became.

Every single Russian man, woman and child should be turned into cubes, and everything from St. Petersburg to the Urals should be paved over and become a global parking lot. Everything east of the Urals should be balkanized and returned to its indiginous tribes.
I believe this is morally just, and a good thing to do. I am a moderate.

Basically the Russian plan was to size the airport with a heliborne assault, deploy and supply an armoured column via airbridge and use it to drive into and occupy Kyiv, bypassing the defenses along the northern front. Basically a repeat of the Nazi invasion of Crete.
Whether there was ever any hope of success is an open question. The troops available in the region possessed anti tank weapons and still active air defenses would have made the airbridge risky even with somewhere to land. Rather than a turning point it was just symbolic of the hubris of Russia's planners. They went it expecting basically no resistance and their plans didn't survive contact with a capable and resisting enemy.

ukrainians used hostomel airport as a trap, they only had light infantry there without much experience, pretty much local militia
russians dropped their most elite paratrooper unit without any support and proceeded to get shredded by artillery the moment they took positions
helicopters alone couldn't secure the landing zone
russians never expected ukrainians to sacrifice the airport and put a bunch of craters in it. It was worth it
