- Pilot is a named XP progression example.
What this means for players
A transport flight starts before takeoff: choose a pickup, low-risk route, landing or drop area and exit direction. The shortest line can be the most predictable line.
Do not hover over the objective without a reason. Deliver players where terrain gives them options, then move before concentrated fire finds the aircraft. Supply flights should coordinate with the team that will use the delivery.
Launch testing must distinguish mouse and keyboard, controller if supported, camera behavior and separate sensitivity. Flight advice borrowed from another game is not a WARDOGS control guide.
What is not confirmed yet
- Helicopter models, purchase prices and seat counts.
- Flight assists, damage model and countermeasures.
- Controller, joystick and remapping support.
