Combat Philosophy

Tactics decide the battle

Modern combined-arms warfare rewards planning, positioning, and control of the terrain. In Waging War, concealment, line of sight, and movement paths matter far more than clicks per minute.

Outmaneuver the enemy through:

  • Staying hidden until the right moment
  • Using terrain to mask movement
  • Positioning units for maximum fire advantage
  • Integrating recon, infantry, armor, and artillery

Real-World Terrain

Every Battlefield Is a Real Place

Waging War uses real-world map data to reconstruct authentic terrain anywhere on Earth. Each environment shapes visibility, movement, and engagement in unique ways.

Urban Terrain

Modeled building footprints and heights form dense sight lines, fortified angles, and tight ambush points.

Forests & Countryside

Vegetation provides concealment, natural choke points, and slower movement routes that reward careful planning.

Mountains, Rivers & Coastlines

Elevated ridges, natural barriers, and water crossings force dynamic maneuvering and tactical adaptation.

Concealment & Exposure

Movement, terrain, and unit type govern when you are seen and when you strike unseen.

Line of Sight

Battles unfold based on realistic sight lines shaped by elevation, forests, and buildings.

Movement & Maneuver

Trade speed for stealth. Choose open thrusts or concealed routes through cover.

Recon & Detection

Scout teams see farther and stay hidden longer, enabling ambushes and early warning.

Fire Positioning

Units fight best facing forward. Flanking and attacking from cover dramatically shifts engagement outcomes.

Combined Arms Warfare

Coordinate infantry, armor, IFVs, recon, artillery, and more to create layered tactical pressure.
