20 October: server-side fix in progress for a ground-vehicle ‘flying’ bug

WARDOGS Updates acknowledges that a subset of players are exploiting a bug that lets ground vehicles ‘fly’ around the map. BULKHEAD says it is working on a server-side hotfix and warns that abuse can bring a permanent ban. The notice does not identify the vehicles, publish reproduction steps, give a completion time or say the fix is already live.

Season 02 adds four vehicles

BULKHEAD names a fast, light Wolf-110 transport; a Wolf-110 (Assault) with a ring-mounted M2 Browning; a T-72 main battle tank; and the Flakpanzer Gepard anti-air vehicle. The T-72 is described as slower than the Leopard but cheaper and much more fuel-efficient. No prices, unlocks, seats, speeds, fuel capacities or armour values are published.

2 October: CIWS now destroys a Havoc in around 6 seconds

BULKHEAD says the Vanguard CIWS now destroys the Havoc in around 6 seconds instead of 12, after the studio concluded it had overcorrected the interaction in the previous patch. The change is server-side: no client download or downtime is required. Those two times are the complete published comparison, not a damage, health, range or ammunition table.

Update 0.1.2 fixes a Havoc damage bug and vehicle-seat exploits

BULKHEAD says a Havoc bug that increased damage taken from 20 mm and 30 mm cannon fire is fixed. Grenades, smoke and C4 can no longer be used from enclosed vehicle seats, and rewards from the vehicle fly-through exploit are capped. The notes do not publish damage values, the intended Havoc multiplier or which vehicles enabled the exploit.

Launch weekend: 51.1M drop-offs

BULKHEAD and Team17’s press release reports 51.1M drop-offs, with Pilot earning 8.70% and Driver 10.57% of role XP. It gives a 17:00 10 September–05:00 14 September clock range but no timezone, per-drop-off cash or XP value, passenger count, route or vehicle split, so the totals cannot rank a transport method.

Season 1 names more vehicles and changes handling

BULKHEAD now names the Z20 Lakota, Little Bird with miniguns, URAL variants, Kodiak variants, Dune Buggy, Humvee with minigun, Heavy Tank and Artillery Tank in its official changelog. Lakota pitch response was corrected, helicopter input damping now covers every input device, vehicle turret rotation is capped, and a tank-aiming DPI issue was fixed.

A vehicle is a purchase, not a pickup

Vehicles sit in the same buy menu as weapons and gear, bought from your current cash balance. Your journey starts with $10,000; that balance is not replenished at each respawn. That single design decision is what makes the logistics role real: a helicopter is somebody’s money, and losing it costs them, so a pilot who ferries a full squad to the zone is spending on the team’s behalf rather than picking up a free toy.

Transport is one of the paid actions

BULKHEAD names transporting friendlies to the zone alongside reviving and holding the objective as actions that reward cash. Its wider description lists transport and logistics as roles in their own right, next to combat ones. So driving is not a supporting hobby in this game’s reward structure — it is one of the named ways to earn.

What is actually visible in official footage

Across the published screenshots and trailers: light helicopters carrying troops on the skids, a helicopter cockpit with a working instrument panel, a door gunner on a minigun, wheeled armoured transports, a main battle tank, and towed or self-propelled artillery. The store copy adds the categories in words — tanks, helicopters, an artillery tank — and describes ferrying supplies to teammates by helicopter as a way to play.

• Light transport helicopter, troops seated on the skids
• Helicopter cockpit with instrumentation — a flyable aircraft, not a set piece
• Door-gunner position on a minigun
• Wheeled armoured transport
• Main battle tank
• Artillery, described in the store copy as an artillery tank

The flight model is claimed, not shown

The Season 1 note confirms input damping for every helicopter input device and a fix for sluggish Lakota pitch. It does not supply a complete keybind table or a specific HOTAS compatibility list. The helicopter guide keeps documented beta controls separate from these official changes.

The official roster now has named ground vehicles

The Season 1 announcement expanded the named official roster and published several track prices and unlock moves. Season 02 adds four more named vehicles, including the returning Flakpanzer Gepard; the database keeps older Mi-28, Huey and Flakpanzer evidence in its original grades. Seats, speed and armour values remain unpublished for the new vehicles.

Before you fly anyone anywhere

Editorial preparation. Agree the destination before people board — an aircraft full of players who each expected a different drop is worse than no aircraft. Think about where passengers regroup if you go down on the way, because in a mode scored by presence in the zone, a squad scattered short of it has cost more than the vehicle did.
