Roadmap

I'm totally reworking this for the new year. Looking ahead to 2024 I have a lot of ideas. I've organized this list into a few categories:

Staged for Next Update - In the code and will come out on the next mod update
Quick Fixes - Bugs you guys alert me to or I find myself
Chores - Things that are completely possible and I just need to grind through because they take a while
New features to test - things I'm pretty confident I can do (most of which will provide new ways to make you all mad)
New concepts to attempt - things I'm not sure if I can do but want to attempt
Stalled for now - things I have been unable to get to work but haven't given up on

Targets for Next Updates

Staged for Next Update

Fixed an issue with the Yak-B being a death laser
Fixed various damage and dispersion bugs
Major adjustment to DPICM damage (as it's a little too good against armor, especially Pact tanks that are better protected against DPICM attacks)
Cut M270 salvos from 4 to 3
Fixed some MeshDescriptor_4 crashes
Continued adjustment to dispersion on many weapons (especially MGs)
Fixed several fuel autonomy issues
Extended forward deploy for airborne units
Fixed the Rh-202 being able to kill heavy armor at close range
Fixed tripod bonuses for MGs
Fixed many details of MG ammos
Attempted to restore the close combat effects that cause pinned troops to flee or surrender when overrun
Further Nemesis 3 updates
Updated the new divisions and units from the free DLC
Towed AA missiles now have a very long set up time (10 minutes) and will display a sniper icon when ready, prices cut to compensate
Major updates to AA system availability (mostly reductions). More Soviet formations get proper AA system availability, including Tor
Cut SEAD availability
Tracked Rapier gets a 30 second set up time and OSA AKM gets a 3.5 minute set up time, prices cut for both
Tor aim time increased to 7 seconds, price cut to 315
Fixed several issues with SU-22s not having correct stats

Quick Fixes

Chores

Shot dispersion needs to be corrected
Fix issue with SAM interdiction in AG not working
Possible strange supply bug with bedford 4t when in a building sector
4th Guards Tank Division (https://www.ww2.dk/new/army/td/4gvtd.htm)
Increase max g loads for pure fighters?
AP rounds for more AAA guns
Shamelessly steal u/MustelidusMartens post on Panzergrenadier structure: https://www.reddit.com/r/warno/comments/1drkbwm/comment/lavuhq5/ - done
One of the BGS snipers always immediately runs for the hills on spawn. I have no idea why.
Need to adjust SF spotting in forests
Work on FITOW
Adjust attack helicopter prices
Marder's OOB updates - mostly done
- https://workupload.com/file/sbPPQQHTy6e
- Territorialkommando Süd
- 2Pzg
- 5Pz
Add heli transport options for air assault capable units
Reprice aircraft
Many stabilizers are too good
Adjust the "dangerousness" parameter for various units (especially commanders and FOs)
Keep messing with the AI
Aircraft travel times
Fix the "half moon" distribution of offmap at close range

New features to test

Heli-deployed supply point
Infantry fatigue system
- 20 second 20km/h sprint
- 10 minute 9km/h jog
- 4km/h march after 10 minutes
- Reset on rest
Toggleable button up state for tanks
Create a noise contact system using sigint type logic
Make craters work as cover for infantry
Some units don't show proper ammo counts in the UI
AGM-114 might be overperforming (possibly hitting top armor)
Look into which other units should be able to call for fire and get a radio
Proper ammo racks for tanks
Add terrain criticals and a vehicle recovery system
Make a new "comms damaged" critical with a timeout that makes a unit uncontrollable (but still able to fight)
Give transport vehicles a small amount of ammo supply in a small radius
Reduce heavy weapons teams' ammo loads so they need to keep their transport nearby
Rework the FO system
Make ERA work (have Bounce on ERA reduce tile coverage and thus effective armor)

New concepts to attempt

Can aircraft evac times replace reloading delays that don't work due to the supply bug? I need a way to make aircraft invulnerable/untargetable after a certain amount of time as they get stuck at the map edge and will get shot down otherwise
Increase suppression taken by infantry in buildings
Add setup time for heavy weapons (MGs, Mortars, ATGMs, AT/AA guns,etc)
Make it possible at least for infantry to somehow destroy or otherwise get rid of bailed out enemy vehicles if they get close enough (mostly aimed at AG and destruction game modes)
Create a laser designator system
Adjust aim time with range for some units

Stalled for now

Make specific infantry spotting category
Make attack helicopters work like planes but with a shorter turnaround
Make a switchable low flight regime for planes
AI can't correct fire missions (seems to be an inherent game limitation)
Direct hits don't work on infantry in buildings (seems to be a somewhat recent bug introduced in the base game)
Changing bombing behaviors (turns out to be pretty hardcoded and very sensitive)
Make FOs non-reloadable in a better way
Fix HE damage for infantry in buildings (ideally get direct hit functions against garrisoned units back, but that may need Eugen to fix fires)
