The M256 gun on the Abrams model is mounted on the right side of the gunshield, not the left like it is in real life. Also, its coax is just a hole in the gunshield instead of being a tube sticking out from it.

On the soviet forces, in a early trailer there is a bmp 3. Im guessing it was cut for the more iconic bmp 2 (plus its armament)

This game is a Hawks wet dream 🤣

To me the AAV-7 could be handwaved of them being on loan from the USMC to the Army.

Hello, I really liked your video, one of the things I would like you to talk about is that the C-141 and IL-76 fly very low and that the Soviet air carriers carry AK-47s when they should carry the AKS-74N and RPG. 18

4:51 They are 6B5 Ulej and paratroopers have been seen using 6B3 but in a larger conflict they could be seen with 6B5, only the berets could be brought by the platoon commanders

4:29 If we talk about the airborne forces they would have to use the TTSKO suit and for the deserts they would have to use afghanka suits

Thanks for the video, comrade) I didn't even know that there were American ATGMs and machine guns in the Soviet fortifications

This game was my childhood

Well I didn’t expect that especially when I *loved* playing that game. After all “Red Dawn” was its inspiration back then.

Awesome videos

2;38: Actually Helicopters are used by ALAT (Aviation Légère de l'Armée de Terre), which is a branch of Land Army (Armée de Terre), not Air Force. Still a great job, congrats!

You missed in the Ekranoplane-Scene: The missiles ar AShM, not Land Attack Missiles Also one mistake wich always bothers me: The amphibious transport for NATO is a Spz Luchs. The Luchs is a Recon tank, it has no capability to carry infantery internally (sure, they could sit on top of it, but I don't think, that they would do it). ALso, I am currently not sure if it is the Luchs A1 or A2. If it is the A2, it shouldn't be considered amphibious

I've gone into the files and started editing the textures to be more historically accurate and higher quality adding my own patches and stuff and even added my own face onto one of the units. It's suprisingly easy to access the files and edit them for WIC.

With regards to the Warrior armor upgrade package, I can kind of see militaries rushing kit that IRL was deployed in 1990-91 onto the Battlefield in the Summer or Autumn of 1989 if there is a Third World War raging, that's somewhat understandable. Also I think in Guards Tank divisions, at least the ones outfitted with T-80s the mobilized units slated to reinforce them were equipped with T-62s. We see that in the Divisions in WARNO, so T-80s and T-62s in the same unit makes a degree of sense. Though I think in the original alpha build they had a T-72 model that was supposed to be the medium tank in game. The abundance of T-80Us is likely because it was the most advanced design the Soviets had at the time that they had actually produced en masse so they prioritized new builds of the T-80U rather than the T-80Bs or BVs when the war started (or converted older T-80s up to the T-80U standard), so the older models slowly became extinct in the German meat grinder while T-80Us became more numerous as they were the model available as replacements. It's similar to what we see in Ukraine with T-90Ms, where we see losses of them almost every other day while T-90As are as rare as white rhinos as most have been upgraded to the T-90M standard and T-90Ms are the only new build tanks Russia currently produces, though there are rumors of T-80 production restarting at OmskTransMash, hopefully we get a T-80UM2 obr. 2025, that'd be sweet.

If WIC utilized a division/battlegroup system similar Eugen's Wargame and WARNO, it would have made the campaign and the multiplayer much more interesting gameplay wise (Example, VDV units in the American Theater and Guards Tank division units in Central European missions of the Soviet campaign.

I wish someone remade this game, ideally with some new factions as well.

The Soviet army is represented in the game... It's very strange. These are infantry uniforms, which are massively wearing "Butane" camouflage, which, like the bulletproof vests of anti-tank fighters with machine gunners, were intended ONLY for special forces. Airborne soldiers wear ceremonial berets. Not real insignia on the equipment (at least I do not know such). The developers clearly took materials not from the Red Army but from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of the 90s. And remembering the comment on the last video, the soldiers of the Soviet army disliked the AK-74 VERY much, so much so that the units changed them to the AKM series at the first opportunity. Also, the MI-24D presented in the game was rarely used in advanced units at the time of 89, it would be more logical to see the MI-24V. And yes, I'm sorry for the grammar, English is not my native language

3:45 you mean AKMs, Ak-47s is an incorrect designation either way and were replaced by AKMs in the 50s. Good vid anyway!

I mean thats not surprising, the soviets somehow manage a landing in Seattle successfully without the operation immediately falling apart afterwards.

I love how you can hear unit chatter when you zoomed in on them Like at 0:34 you can hear LVT crew talking about tank (i think i hear he say Leopard 2)

With regards to the Cayuse vs Kiowa, keep in mind there is a World War on and everyone is pulling everything out of their warehouses that runs and can put lead down range. And in game the Homefront is, somehow, of secondary importance to Europe so it's possible the Kiowas are over there while the Cayuse got pressed back into service stateside. Also for the USSR VDV using the BMP-2 instead of BMD-2 in game this is something that has actually happened in Ukraine where VDV units being used as shock assault infantry have traded in their lightly armored BMDs for the relatively thicker armor of the BMP line. There are also just a lot more BMP-2s than BMD-2s, same for Gvozdikas in place of Nonas, so they might be using those since replacements are easier as they have more mobilized conscripts trained on those systems. I also don't think all the units in the Soviet Invasion Force are VDV, there are probably a fair few regular Rifle or Tank Divisions providing support and bulk. But otherwise yeah pretty spot on.

Is this game good?

You missed some though. USA - The Abrams used by the US in this game is an M1A2 variant instead of the A1. This also mean main gun of this tank is the 125mm instead of the 105mm. - M60 Patton is the main tank in your arsenal despite them already retired from Army service and was trasferred to National Guard Reserve. Though we did see the National Guard joining the Army in this game so this is forgivable to some extent. - M551 Sheridan would've been gone from the service by 1989. Only the small garrison in West Berlin and some base in Germany still use them before being replace. - Charperel being the main AA unit instead of the Avenger. - A10 Airstrike is capable of dropping a bunker buster. That shouldn't be possible. - Humvee as a repair vehicle. NATO - Leopard 2A6 instead of the earlier A2 or A3 in 1989. - Eurofighter as the main airstrike. That's doesn't make sense since NATO intend to use it as a fighter primarily. Soviet Union - T-64 tank as the MBT of the Soviet instead of the T-72. - T-80U being the primary variant in this game despite only 1,000 of them being made by 1989. T80B or T80BV would be more appropriate.

Exactly, without lighting off some burners, your toast ….🤷🏻‍♂️

That ticking sort of sound is so annoying yet satisfying

This one had me thinking, “Well at least I can get some chow before heading back to HQ for debrief.” 😂🍜🥡🥢

It always made me laugh that the old lady was resisting and I had to either pepper spray her or use the taser. 🤣
