Warno's latest update adds divisions, subtracts bugs

Cold War RTS game Warno is charging ahead through its ambitious Early Access schedule as promised, with its first big update out now. Update Ney adds two new divisions, new units, a huge new 10v10 map, and makes a slew of balancing changes and bug fixes to boot.

As developer Eugen Systems promised in its roadmap, the first two new battlegroups to join the lineup in Warno are the American 8th Infantry Division (Mechanised) and the USSR's 39th Guards Motorised Rifle Division. These add some new units to the already dizzying roster in Warno, including the American M60A3 Patton tank, which was reaching the end of its combat days by 1989, and the Soviet BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, which by contrast had only entered service in 1987.

The update makes a variety of fixes, such as correcting some tank armour penetration values and fixing a few unit and variant nomenclature. Eugen has also corrected an issue with vehicle-mounted machine guns, which were causing an effect called chassis knockback. They've also fixed a problem with mortars, which hadn't been causing chassis knockback but were supposed to.
