The HIMARs is not in this beta but will likely be there on release. The Patriot is in the beta but for some reason didn't show up when I went through these!
I'd like to see a video on your ideal setup for each faction. I think a lot of us could use some guidance on which units/vehicles work well together and what the most effective way to spend points is.
That’s the thing, there is an infinite amount of ways to utilize tactics, and counters for each. Theres no single advantage. Thats what makes this game amazing
If you are already somewhat familiar with RTS games and you know the use-cases of each unit type, I think the best way is to play a few rounds and always reflect which unit you did not use or which you would have needed afterwards. This way the deck incrementally improves over time. I really hope in the final game there will be a playing mode which isn't ranked so you can try out new decks and new styles of playing
This might not be constructive at all so sorry in advance, but with the huge amount of customization it’s really what feels best to you. Also for me at least the rule of cool always works.
@@wowdude3749 I think you (and everyone else who replied) is right, after playing for a day i must have changed my battle groups around like 10 times. I see Vulcan posted a video on battle group set ups (good info) but i have had a lot of fun just trying out new combinations, it is a play test after all so might as well try everything out.
Seeing that they have the ASV-30 for the marines that are just about to come into service, I’m surprised they used the M8 AGS (canceled before ever entering service) for the airborne instead of the M10 Booker that’s also just coming into service as well with airborne troops. I suppose it’s because the M8 is air droppable while the booker is not
Yes, the M72A10 struggles against armored vehicles... because it's the anti-structure warhead variant of the LAW. IMO that confusion's on the game though for making the decision to allow primarily anti-infantry HE/thermobaric weapons to fire on armored vehicles while having them use the same quick recognition symbol as HEAT weapons.
I'm so glad to see this game back, really looking forward to it. The M1150 Assault Breacher looks absolutely insane and I'm very intrigued to see how it eventually ends up being integrated into the game properly.
I’m amazed they’ve missed that opportunity to have people play against AI to work out the kinks and balance the game before people find out the hard way in multiplayer
On the miclic: Even without mines having a thousand pounds of c4 going off next to your infantry is a bad experience. A single rocket could probably erase entire city blocks.
M1A1 Firepower Enhancement Package: 750/1300 armor M1A1 Heavy Common(Armor Upgrade): 650/1200 armor lol Exsqueeze me but what? Then M1A2 has the same armor as the HC? Then the A2s have worse ammo than the A1s? What are they even doing lol.
The M1A2 in game terms is practically identical to the M1A1HC, and that is fine. The M1A1 FEP is over a decade more modern than both, which is why it is significantly improved.
I desperately hope units in the roster we saw in earlier vids you released make a comeback. And by god the F-22 better be back in on full release. If the Kid gets wind he isn't in the game, he's gonna break out of that hangar and intercept somebody... good lord god forbid. All that said, I also hope we see more in the way of DIFFERENT stuff along with the tried and true. For example, seeing the airborne infantry with the M7 Spear, XM250 AND the newer IHPS helmet while you're able to equip Marines with the SRAW launcher is a nice breath of fresh air. Something we don't see in a lot of military games set in contemporary times.
This is very informative, thanks! The units available in this game are second to none, however if I have to nitpick, I find it a little odd that we only have the D variant of the Apache. Let's hope the E will be available in the official release? EDIT: No A-10? That's odd. Again let's hope that comes in the final release.
Oh damn. New stuff? I didn’t try out multiplayer yet, but I do wanna give this a try. Couple days late, hope the playtest doesn’t end soon like the last time I joined.
I think it would be good if, when the beta ends, we could hear your overall thoughts about the game and things you think work well, and things you would like to be improved or changed. Whether in a video or a community post. Love the content. Hope to see some Russian gameplay from you.
Really liking the look of this game, although I really wish they would implement some realistic ranges on the weapon systems. The Javelin having such a short range, and the Abrams having only 1400m range feels so wrong LOL. Especially with abrams easily hitting 3km shots against T-72's during desert storm.
Kinda funny they have M8 tank for airborne in this game......in reality US military rejected it and chose its rival M10 Booker for its airborne tank instead, I guess this game predates it lol
The M8 in BA is the original version, the one from the 80s-90s. The one that was a contender for the MPF that lost to the M10 Booker is an updated version of the M8 AGS.
In your posted game I thought i saw some people using the patriot batteries, but I didn't see them here in your unit breakdowns. Are they just not viewable in the army list right now?
Mech rifles don't feel very useful. They aren't large enough to really make a impact if their Bradley gets popped in inf vs inf engagements. Honestly feel like they'd benefit from being a little bit cheaper
Please please please can you do a video covering recon and how it actually works, trees and forest make it almost impossible to find enemy units , unless you have snipers in a tower block they don't seem to see nearly as far as claimed
IMO all these games do this. They act like towed guns don't exist. A really weird omission since towed artillery still actually makes up the backbone of even the US Army's field artillery, and as we're seeing in Ukraine is still the main weapon of the 21st century battlefield.

I've also had the patriot not show up here. Is it to do with the specialisations you pick?

pretty hard when the servers don't work, like the last test...

@VulcanHDGaming thank you very much :D
Definitely need to make this player vs AI skirmish.
I’m amazed they’ve missed that opportunity to have people play against AI to work out the kinks and balance the game before people find out the hard way in multiplayer
I guarantee it’s coming in the full finished product but a competent AI is a very hard thing to implement so I’m not surprised it isn’t here yet.
On the miclic: Even without mines having a thousand pounds of c4 going off next to your infantry is a bad experience. A single rocket could probably erase entire city blocks.
MICLIC from clearing mines to warcrimes in no times.
Suprisingly some units like Patriot of SLAMRAMs weren't included in this vid lol
There's a bug which prevents them from showing up in the armoury sometimes
In broken arrow i espect single player content,i dont care to much abbaut multiplayer. I hoped to see some missions,skirmish or campaign.
There is a PVE Scenario you can play but requires an online lobby at the moment.
@@VulcanHDGaming how you can do it? I tried but the game doesn't want to launch Z match, and there is no option to add ai bots or something
@@Konrad5710 Close the slots if you are on your own i think
@@VulcanHDGaming unfortunately that doesn't work either, the game still won't lunch even with all slots closed 😢
I'm most looking forward to single player stuff for this when it comes
M1A1 Firepower Enhancement Package: 750/1300 armor
M1A1 Heavy Common(Armor Upgrade): 650/1200 armor lol
Exsqueeze me but what?
Then M1A2 has the same armor as the HC? Then the A2s have worse ammo than the A1s? What are they even doing lol.

At 3.05 minutes, the package also increases the sight range from 1400 to 1700, really good btw

U.S. Army Airborne and U.S. Army Armored Brigade is my favorite combo. Best infantry combined with best armor. Combined arms for the win.
The extra armor kits on all the Abrams variants adds a coaxial M2 .50 caliber gun, just in case the Abrams didn't have enough guns on it already.
we are SOOO BACK!
This is very informative, thanks!

The Su 25 was around in the last beta so I imagine the A 10 will make an appearance on release for sure.
Probably a diferent spec@@VulcanHDGaming
Oh damn. New stuff? I didn’t try out multiplayer yet, but I do wanna give this a try. Couple days late, hope the playtest doesn’t end soon like the last time I joined.
For something with so much variety I am really missing mraps.
Could be in the last 2 specs
I think it would be good if, when the beta ends, we could hear your overall thoughts about the game and things you think work well, and things you would like to be improved or changed. Whether in a video or a community post.
Love the content. Hope to see some Russian gameplay from you.
they are now accepting more play testers if you want to test it yourself!
why does your game look so majestic
The m6 shorad is crazy effective, ive killed so many mbts by just sitting in treelines with cav scouts.
Since this game’s playing really fast and lose with what equipment is available in this game I hope they add more weird prototype units.
Really liking the look of this game, although I really wish they would implement some realistic ranges on the weapon systems. The Javelin having such a short range, and the Abrams having only 1400m range feels so wrong LOL. Especially with abrams easily hitting 3km shots against T-72's during desert storm.
Been cooking up a pure Marines and airborne infantry deck would love to see how you would put that combination to use
Kinda funny they have M8 tank for airborne in this game......in reality US military rejected it and chose its rival M10 Booker for its airborne tank instead, I guess this game predates it lol
The M8 in BA is the original version, the one from the 80s-90s. The one that was a contender for the MPF that lost to the M10 Booker is an updated version of the M8 AGS.
The M10 is with the strikers, since it cant be airdropped.
Kind of seems like more units got removed than added after watching the first American units video for comparison
where in the good god has the A-10 AC-130 HIMARS and C-RAM gone?
Other two specs not in the beta
Diferent spec
Those who played the game waaaay back when it was first open tested would see HIMARS as first artillery piece.
WE'RE SO BACK
🥳
For the USMC Rocket Artillery, where's the HIMARS?
How long will last the open beta? I hearrd only 14 days?
Sheridan is no longer in service and the M8 never entered service.
In your posted game I thought i saw some people using the patriot batteries, but I didn't see them here in your unit breakdowns. Are they just not viewable in the army list right now?
They are there but for some reason didn't show up
I wish Airborne had Rangers like Marines have Raiders

Please please please can you do a video covering recon and how it actually works, trees and forest make it almost impossible to find enemy units , unless you have snipers in a tower block they don't seem to see nearly as far as claimed
I haven't been able to get a single game in, I keep getting disconnected
Shame there is no A-10 in this test, also no MLRS for Russia they removed it from Armoured.
They have beastly Iskander :) who needs MLRS
@zmkarakas I do! 😄 I need my BM-21
You make also decks that we can take over
Is the A-10 coming to Broken Arrow?
Wait there’s a new open beta?
Hey Vulcan what are the orange numbers next to the armor and weapon stats
White is kinetic armor/penetration, orange is HEAT.
This game is simply amazing. I would pay for this game over and over, it’s so epic, especially working with random players on the battlefield
Any chance of a Broken arrow stream this week???
I'll be streaming Broken Arrow on Twitch every day except Monday for the next couple weeks.
would be nice to be able to actually get into a game though lol only game I was able to play was 1 with my friend, and it took 4 tries to be able to
They better add the f16
especially in a SEAD role. Also f-16v maybe.
will you do a video like this one but for the russians?
Is HIMARS not in there?
Not for this beta
Patriot and himars were missing
And he servers died immediately
How is game performance in new beta
Soviet you been playing to much warno vulcan
IMO all these games do this. They act like towed guns don't exist. A really weird omission since towed artillery still actually makes up the backbone of even the US Army's field artillery, and as we're seeing in Ukraine is still the main weapon of the 21st century battlefield.
I completely agree although warno does it well. They might get added later on.
towed arty cant move well, thus dont make sense for these games.
hi it keeps saying no connection and then tries to reconnect but fails. does anyone know what to do?
@shalevcohen6837 Servers will just be overloaded unfortunately. Best you can do is wait.
@@VulcanHDGaming ok thanks
where is the Patriot ??
7:50 yes the B-kit armor seemsto be a no brainer but not only do you sacrifice a bit of speed you also sacrifice the airlift capability of the humvee
Where are PAC 3?
Have they got rid of the patriots ?
No. For some reason they don’t show up in this list. I was able to add the pac 2 to a deck.
@ alright that’s okay then, yeah just thought it was odd that they didn’t show
Remind me but will this ever come to consoles like the ps5? I'd love this on console
No it wont, these types of games don't work on consoles very well. Simpler ones like Halo wars do but this too graphically and micro intensive.
Yeah, WARNO is a failure. Time to go back to Broken Arrow?
Any Brit units coming ??
Maybe after release.
@@VulcanHDGaming Thank you.
Game by russian devs. Don't support war criminals.
Is there a texture problem with the armor upgrade?. they look black
Possibly, I thought it looked weird too.
