World At War: War Machines 1940

Quickstart

1. Craft and use the Thunderwing Sky Titan placer to spawn the bomber: .
2. Interact with the aircraft to board it, then steer using the normal movement and look controls.
3. While riding, use the on-screen Tap: Vehicle Ability action to release its bomb. The bomb detonates on impact and can carve a large crater, so try it well away from anything you want to keep.
4. For a ground-based test, craft a Dune Buggy with , place it, and interact to drive.

Overview

This mod centers on rideable military vehicles, aircraft, and explosive weapons. Craft vehicle placers to spawn and board vehicles, then use the displayed vehicle action to activate their special ability. It also includes a targetable ballistic missile launch pad and the AUG firearm.

What It Adds

• Aircraft: Thunderwing Sky Titan bomber and Fighter Jet.
• Ground vehicles: Dune Buggy, Military Artillery Truck, Anti Air Defense Truck, Tank, and The Velvet Hack.
• Weapons and structures: AUG, Ballistic Missile Launch Pad, and their bomb and missile payloads.

How To Use

Vehicles

Craft a vehicle placer, use it to place the vehicle, then interact with the vehicle to ride. Look and steer as you would with a normal controllable vehicle. While aboard, follow the action-bar prompt and tap/use the vehicle action; it will display a cooldown when one applies.

Ballistic Missile Launch Pad

Place the launch pad on open ground. It forms a large structure around the placement point. Interact with the pad and enter the target’s X, Y, and Z coordinates to launch a missile. Its impact creates a very large blast and crater; keep it far from builds and terrain you want to preserve.

AUG

Equip the AUG and use it to fire a rapid burst toward your aim. It has a firing cooldown, so pause before trying another burst.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft these items at a crafting table using the linked recipe:

Abilities And Mechanics

• Vehicle abilities use the on-screen action prompt. Aim before activating attacks that fire forward.
• The Thunderwing Sky Titan carries a bomb that it can release while flying. Its impact can alter a wide area.
• Ballistic missiles are aimed by coordinates at the launch pad, rather than by the player’s view. Their impacts also reshape terrain on a large scale.
• The Velvet Hack’s pulse affects nearby vehicles temporarily.

Progression And Strategy

Start with the Dune Buggy or bomber to learn placing, boarding, steering, and using the vehicle action. Try weapons and explosive payloads in a clear test area: both the bomber’s bomb and the launch-pad missile can leave major craters and damage nearby surroundings.
