The fastest missiles, such as Hellfires, Spikes, Vikhr, or Nimrod, are very fast indeed, blisteringly so at 1,400 to 2,500 (presumably kilometers per hour but Wargame has some degree of distance compression): the slowest, the, SS-11, Malyutka and its Chinese equivalent, the HJ-73, only get 400. Some of them are slower than others in the same category, but generally it is the categories of MCLOS, SACLOS, and SALH that determine missile speed, and these go up from slowest to fastest accordingly. The M24 struggles to be cost effective and efficient even killing 5 point transports, and dies to enemy IFVs too: a downright terrible unit.Īnti-tank missiles in Wargame have their speed determined not by their historical speeds, but rather, for the most part, by their guidance. Compare this to the M14, another 10 point light tank, which gets a stabilizer, if a bad one, for the main gun, 4 more AP, 5 more in fact with the expanded range to 1,750 meters, 2 more rounds per minute, better speed, and even more ammunition, since 24 rounds on the M24 is mediocre - although it probably won't survive long enough to make use of them anyway. A 1,575 meter range gun with 6 rounds per minute, 4 AP, 2 HE, and 40% accuracy as well as a Browning HMG makes it far worse armed than the other famous WW2 tank in-game, the T-34, worse even than the Finnish Sturmi (Stug), and the chassis doesn't do anything to help out, with 2 front and 1 side armor, poor speed, and 200 kilometer range. This Norwegian tank is the M24 Chaffee of WW2 vintage, and the weakest tank in the game. They've come crawling back to Wargame with a South Africa DLC, but maybe there's still hope for Steel Division, since so many of its units are found in Wargame too! Case in point, the M24. Upgraded Norwegian M24s with 90mm guns are actually reasonably good in Wargame, but the basic Chaffee is miserable #4 M24įor a long time Eugen Systems was more focused on their WW2 games - Steel Division and Steel Division II. So here it is, the worst 10 units in Wargame: Red Dragon! But there are some which sink below even the general limitations of their categories to achieve genuine wretchedness or simply stand out for being so much worse than they could be that they deserve to be ranked in a listing of the worst units. It's a hard choice actually to choose the worst units since there are so many: some types are just inherently bad, like cheap ATGM carriers which don't match Wargame's meta, or cheap MANPADS which, due to the mechanics of infantry transports, are generally not so cheap as to merit their use. While it generally does a decent enough job at balancing most units (even if DLC units often aren't), there are plenty that slip through the cracks.

Wargame: Red Dragon has more than most with over 2,000 units.

Ryan Thomas enjoys playing 'Wargame: Red Dragon' as his main strategy game, particularly as France and Czechoslovakia.Īny RTS game has its best and its worst units: none can be perfectly balanced.
