Tank Squad Update 1.3.0 (Anniversary Patch)
Tank Squad Update 1.3.0 is now live, bringing one of the game’s biggest additions yet: Procedural Missions & Campaigns.
The new system dynamically generates objectives, starting positions and battle layouts across 12 missions, replacing fully scripted encounters with a more dynamic battlefield flow. According to the devs, this is intended as the foundation for future career-style and larger campaign systems.
Some highlights from Update 1.3.0:
• Procedural missions & procedural campaign mode
• AICommander-driven battles instead of purely scripted triggers
• Random weather options for sessions
• Ballistics fixes for armor collision and penetration handling
• Improved ricochet and penetration prediction logic
• Ground impact VFX for MGs and small arms
• New vegetation updates on several maps
• Maus secondary weapon switching support
• Numerous UI, vehicle and battle map fixes
The developers also confirmed that the Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks are still in development and not yet fully operational/playable, as interiors and systems are still being worked on.
This update also marks the first anniversary of Tank Squad’s release. Considering the rough launch and the studio becoming independent, it’s honestly impressive to see the amount of post-launch support, fixes and new systems that have been added over the past year.
One interesting thing about Tank Squad is the direction it’s moving in. The procedural systems, AICommander mechanics, force pool creator and combined-arms focus are starting to push it closer toward a dynamic sandbox style.
The game is currently 25% off during the World War II Games Sale.
