Each vehicle in your caravan is unique, boasting its strengths and weaknesses. Some machines are fast and agile, designed to dodge obstacles and pursue enemies. Others are heavy and robust, ready to ram and smash anything that stands in their way.

Using the active pause can help you prepare the plan for the whole combat, but if you are more willing to make decisions in split seconds, you still have the option to do so.

You can't move the caravan during the fight to let you focus on the perfect positioning of other vehicles.

A visceral sense of impact, sending enemy vehicles flying in dramatic explosions of twisted metal and flaming debris. But it's not just about brute force. The game's tactical depth means you'll need to choose your moments to strike, using the environment to your advantage and striking when your enemy least expects it.
