In the latest episode of Comm Relay, the host welcomes viewers back and introduces the topic of combined arms in Star Citizen. The show features knowledgeable guests, including Warrior Streak, who shares insights from his extensive military background, discussing the evolution of combined arms tactics within the game. Warrior explains how the game’s mechanics have progressed, allowing for more complex strategies that integrate ground and air units, as well as the importance of communication and coordination among players to achieve effective combined arms operations.
Warrior emphasizes the current limitations in combined arms gameplay, noting that while the potential exists, the game lacks certain features that would enhance the experience. He discusses the need for improved vehicle physics, better targeting systems for bombers, and the implementation of features like electronic warfare and reconnaissance drones. The conversation touches on the challenges players face when trying to execute military tactics in the game, particularly due to the limitations of the current vehicle mechanics and the need for a more realistic combat experience.
The discussion then shifts to the future of combined arms gameplay in Star Citizen. Warrior expresses optimism that as the game continues to develop, the relevance of combined arms will increase, particularly with the introduction of new ships and features. He believes that the integration of ground vehicles and air support will become more essential as the game expands, especially with the planned addition of base-building mechanics and environmental factors like weather that could impact gameplay.
Havoc, another guest on the show, shares his thoughts on the state of FPS combat and vehicle mechanics in Star Citizen. He highlights the improvements made to FPS gameplay but points out that ground vehicles still lack a compelling reason to be used effectively. Havoc suggests that the game needs to create more opportunities for players to utilize ground vehicles strategically, potentially through the introduction of new features that would enhance their effectiveness in combat scenarios.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the need for better UI and vehicle mechanics to support combined arms operations. The guests agree that while the game has made significant strides, there is still much work to be done to ensure that combined arms tactics can be effectively implemented. They express hope for future updates that will address these issues and enhance the overall gameplay experience in Star Citizen, making it a more engaging and realistic military simulation.
