Operation Overlord
From 2024-06-06 at 09:00:00 (UTC) through 2024-07-04 at 09:00:00 (UTC)
Mode Objectives
Operation Overlord is a single-player battle scenario inspired by the real historical events of D-Day during World War II. As part of a team of AI-driven allies, you fight against computer-controlled enemies.
- To help you get started, your first objective is to break through the coastal defenses and minefields. Secure the beachhead by targeting and destroying coastal bunkers, suppressing enemy positions, and breaching fortified defenses to enable the landing of Allied forces.
- Work with your AI-driven allies to ensure mission success.
Difficulty Levels and Missions
- The mode has two difficulty levels: Regular and Rigorous, with missions yielding different rewards for each level. Both levels are available from the start, allowing you to select the degree of challenge that best suits your preference.
- Each difficulty has three missions: the first is available on June 6, while the other two remain locked until June 13, when all three become available.
- The second and third missions mirror the first one but with added challenges to enhance your gameplay experience.
Each difficulty level in Operation Overlord has several simple objectives: win a battle or win a battle with additional conditions. By completing missions on Rigorous difficulty, you also receive corresponding Regular difficulty rewards automatically.
Core Gameplay and Unique Features
Each operation is intuitive and straightforward: Rush forward, follow navigation markers, and destroy enemies and coastal bunkers on sight. Here are some highlights and unique play mechanics of the mode:
- Event Map: Battles will unfold on the special Omaha map. It is enriched with many details and interactive objects to replicate the atmosphere of the Normandy landings.
- Combat Vehicle: You will head into battle in the legendary VI M4A3E8 Sherman .
- Unique Features:
- Battleship Support: Surprise enemies by using your shell tracers to help the USS Frankford target enemy bunkers on the fog-covered beach.
- Smoke Signals: Available after disabling enemy anti-aircraft defenses, use these to mark targets like enemy fortifications and vehicles for allied battleships.
- Minefields: The coastline area is littered with mines, so move carefully! You have a unique support vehicle on your side, however: the Sherman Crab to help you and your allies to navigate the buried explosives.
