02From the game, October 2026

Real ground. Real weather. Real hours.

Every theatre is built from real elevation, land cover and map data. The buildings stand on their real footprints with their real roofs, the ground wears a real aerial photograph, and the light follows the place's own clock and climate: mist at dawn, dust behind the trucks, snow on the roofs, the sky still lighting the ground after sunset. Up close it holds up too: the rifle in your hands reloads like the real one, and the wall you hide behind comes apart under a grenade.

  • A first-person view at noon: gloved hands holding an M4 carbine at the ready, its flip-up iron sights up, a low block wall and palm groves ahead on the sand at Khasab.
    In your handsThe rifle held, reloaded and drawn with hand-made first-person animation: the magazine really comes out and goes in.
  • The Korengal valley at dawn from an Apache cockpit: cloud above, mist filling the valleys below, the ridge lines dark green.
    Korengal, dawnMist in the valleys, seen from the Apache. It burns off as the sun climbs.
  • Khasab from the foothills in a hazy afternoon: palm groves, low concrete blocks and the Musandam mountains under a heavy sky.
    Khasab, afternoon hazeThe town, the palm groves and the Musandam mountains, at the real local hour.
  • A grenade going off at the foot of a low block wall: a fireball, sparks thrown high, the rifle in the foreground.
    A grenade at the wallA grenade lands at the foot of the wall an enemy was hiding behind.
  • The same spot seconds later: the wall gone, its broken blocks scattered across the sand, smoke drifting off.
    And afterThe wall comes apart and its blocks are thrown. Nobody takes cover there again, and every player sees it gone.
  • A dim orange desert at twilight with a fireteam standing near a truck and a town on the horizon.
    Al Anbar, 18:21After sunset the sky still lights the ground. The convoy waits for its escort.
  • The M4 at the ready in the last light at Khasab: a pink sky, the sand gone brown, a far fire's smoke rising behind the palms.
    Khasab, duskThe last light over Khasab, and a fire still burning across town.
  • A rifle scope view: mil-dot reticle on a man by a low wall at 235 metres, range and wind readouts beside the glass.
    Through the glassAn 8x scope on a man at 235 metres: the true field of view, range and crosswind.
  • Heavy snowfall around a two-storey building and pine trees under a white sky.
    Bardufoss, snowSnow lies on the trees, the roofs and your rifle.
  • An AH-64 Apache seen from behind and above, flying low over Khasab in the late afternoon, its rotor a soft disc, the town and palm groves ahead.
    The Apache, late sunThe bought AH-64 over Khasab: its own model, rotors and crew, the same one every player and the AI see.
  • A UH-60 Black Hawk in desert camouflage seen from behind, flying over the rooftops of Khasab toward the palm groves.
    The Black HawkThe UH-60 on its way in: the helicopter your squad rides, and the one you can fly.
  • The view from the Apache pilot's rear seat: the front canopy frames, the instrument panel with its two live displays and the town below.
    Its own cockpitFlying the Apache from its real rear seat, the gunner's canopy ahead.
  • A Black Hawk parked on the sand at Khasab, seen from the front quarter: both pilots in sage flight suits, vests and aircrew helmets with boom mics behind the windscreen.
    The crewTwo pilots up front in every Black Hawk, in flight suits and aircrew helmets.
  • A parked Apache seen from the side on the sand at Khasab, two crew seated under the tandem canopies.
    Crewed on the padBoth Apache seats crewed, waiting on the pad.
  • A Mi-24 Hind attack helicopter in two-tone camouflage parked on the sand at Khasab, rocket pods under its stub wings, the mountains behind.

03Combined arms, without compromise

Every crew fights the same operation.

Convergence is not a shooter with vehicles bolted on. Infantry gets a real infantry simulation. Pilots get a real cockpit. Commanders plan, task and react while every crew fights the same operation in real time.

Suppress the air defense and the helicopters get through. Lose the armor and the ground assault stalls. Miss the extraction and a successful rescue becomes a failed mission, and real infantry players lose their ride.

  1. 01
    OverwatchFind the threat

    Spots the downed crew and the air defense covering them.

  2. 02
    Top BrassBuild the plan

    Tasks every crew from one map, and owns the call.

  3. 03
    Fast MoverClear the corridor

    Suppresses the SAM site so the helicopters can get in.

  4. 04
    Night StalkerInsert the team

    Drops the squad and has to be back at the LZ on time. Late, and they're stranded with the casualties.

  5. 05
    VanguardFinish the fight

    Fights to the crew and carries them to the pickup.

04One order, seven languages

The commander says it once. Every seat hears it their way.

Intent goes in once and is translated for each pack in the mission. The pilot gets a 9-line, the gun line gets a fire mission and the squad gets a waypoint. Nobody has to learn anyone else's job.

Top Brass · Intent SEIZE  OBJ SALT  40R DQ 2140 0870  NLT H+30  ROE: WEAPONS TIGHT "Take the port road junction before their reinforcements get there. Positive ID before you shoot."

    Illustrative example. Grid, callsigns and times are placeholders; order formats follow each pack's translator.

    05Choose your station

    One platform.
    Seven ways in.

    Each pack is built to stand on its own, with its own roles, rank ladder and look. Bring it into a joint operation and your specialty becomes part of something much larger.

    06The battle is connected

    Not a lobby.
    A command post.

    Live positions. Human and AI assets. Orders over the radio. Requests for fire, extraction, reconnaissance and reinforcement, all inside the same mission state.

    Tactical net

    Every pack speaks the same operational language. Push-to-talk voice between every seat, and orders read out over the net.

    World state

    What one crew sees and does changes the fight for the rest: contacts, craters, casualties, the clock and the weather.

    Real ground

    Seven theatres built from real elevation, land cover, aerial photographs and map data: Khasab and Musandam, Mogadishu, Mosul, Korengal, the Fulda Gap, Al Anbar and Bardufoss. Buildings stand on their real footprints with their real roofs.

    Never a full lobby

    AI fills any open seat, and the enemy is an AI commander using the same order pipeline a human would.

    After action

    See what happened, why it mattered and where the mission turned. Rank is earned per pack.
