WW3
Attention Commanders,
A new Officer is preparing to take the battlefield on the 19th October.
Introducing Valeria “Falco” Rossi, an Italian airborne warfare specialist built for commanders who prefer to strike where the enemy least expects it.
Airborne forces already offer some of the greatest tactical flexibility on the battlefield, allowing commanders to bypass traditional frontlines and rapidly deploy forces into critical positions. Their mobility, however, comes at a cost: once the fighting begins, airborne formations can lack the direct combat power of heavier ground forces.
Falco changes that equation.
Designed as a veteran-focused specialist, Falco strengthens airborne formations and enables commanders to build around a highly mobile “tip of the spear” strategy. Under her command, airborne units become considerably more dangerous after deployment, creating new opportunities for aggressive assaults, rapid reinforcement and deep strikes behind enemy lines.
Airborne Warfare
Falco is built around one principle: mobility should not mean sacrificing combat power.
Her bonuses increase the Ground Attack and Hit Points of supported units travelling within her stack, giving airborne formations the additional strength they need when committing to contested positions.
As Falco progresses, her bonuses continue to increase the Attack and HP of the supported units, while her Air Assault capabilities expand to include additional units.
This allows commanders to combine mobility with assets that would normally form part of a conventional ground army, creating specialized forces capable of appearing far from established frontlines and immediately threatening enemy positions.
Falco's arrival is also accompanied by an Airborne Infantry rebalance, further expanding the role of airborne warfare on the battlefield.
Tactical Role
Falco is designed for experienced commanders looking to commit heavily to airborne operations, while also providing a valuable boost to Special Forces.
Her greatest strength is the ability to turn air-mobile formations into more credible frontline combat forces. Instead of using airborne deployment primarily for capturing undefended territory or reinforcing distant positions, Falco enables these units to spearhead offensive operations of their own. Her support for Special Forces further strengthens their combat potential, opening up additional opportunities for coordinated and specialized offensive strategies.
However, that flexibility comes with important trade-offs.
Airborne forces remain vulnerable while travelling and require time to disembark before entering combat. Airborne transports are also relatively slow compared with dedicated combat aircraft, giving attentive opponents opportunities to identify and respond to incoming attacks.
Successful Falco commanders will therefore need to carefully choose their targets, protect their approach and coordinate deployments before committing their forces.

Falco's bonuses apply only to supported units within her active stack. Units separated from Falco lose the benefits of her buffs.

Combat Power Scaling
Falco becomes increasingly powerful as she levels up, steadily improving both the offensive strength and survivability of supported airborne formations.
As Falco progresses from Level 1 to Level 15, her bonuses increase from +15% Ground Attack and +15% HP up to +65% Ground Attack and +55% HP.
At Levels 5, 10, and 15, Falco expands her support to additional airborne units, with the final group becoming supported at Level 15.This makes each level increasingly valuable, while these key milestones expand the range of formations that can benefit from Falco’s bonuses.
Falco rewards commanders willing to build their strategy around mobility, timing and concentrated force. At higher levels, she can bring an increasingly diverse collection of ground assets into airborne operations, allowing veteran commanders to assemble highly specialized strike forces capable of bypassing conventional defenses and opening entirely new fronts.
Falco is currently undergoing a focused evaluation with veteran and competitive players. As we gather feedback and gameplay data, some aspects including supported units and buffs may be further refined to ensure the best possible balance.
With Falco leading the assault, the frontline is wherever you choose to land.
