Real-Time Multiplayer is Here: Command v1.10 Public Beta Now Live
The wait is over. We are thrilled to announce that the v1.10 Public Beta for Command: Modern Operations is officially live.
This major update introduces one of the most anticipated features in Command history: Real-Time Multiplayer (RTMP).
Whether you want to test your operational skills in intense Player vs Player (PvP) duels or team up with a friend in Cooperative (PvE) mode to control the same side against the AI, RTMP brings a whole new dimension to Command.
Alongside multiplayer integration, the v1.10 update brings a massive wave of engine upgrades, UI refinements, and advanced simulation mechanics.
Here is a quick look at the major highlights:
Real-Time Multiplayer (RTMP)
PvP & PvE Cooperative Modes: Go head-to-head against another commander or join forces on the same team to co-manage units, plan strikes, and tackle complex scenarios together against the AI.
Live Operational Warfare: Experience dynamic real-time decision-making with shared simulation states, map pings, and dedicated lobby support.
Enhanced Mapping & Visualization
Vector OSM Maps: A brand-new map layer using dynamic .pbf vector tiles (found under Top Menu --> View --> OSM Vector Map). Fully customizable via simple JSON styles, offering unprecedented visual flexibility without heavy tile caching.
Advanced Relief & Bathymetry: High-resolution coastal bathymetry data (up to 600m depth) powered by EMODNet, designed specifically to enhance submarine warfare planning.
APP-6 Icon Set: Added a full APP-6 fourth map icon option for NATO-standard tactical overview.
Tactical & Fleet Management
Dedicated Naval Formation Editor: Access a brand-new formation editor via Shift+F4. Seamlessly position escorts around High Value Units (HVUs) and apply standard formation templates on the fly.
Limited Sonobuoy Stocks: Realism turned up a notch. Sonobuoys can now be toggled as finite resources rather than infinite stores, requiring careful logistics, transport, and magazine management.
Expanded Doctrine Settings: New controls for AI sonobuoy usage, AAW rearward fire, joint-salvo WRA allocation, and guidance-drop rules to maximize missile efficiency.
Improved Simulation Mechanics
High-Energy Laser Modeling: Atmospheric absorption, altitude shifts, power-at-impact, and target durability/fragility are now fully modeled for realistic laser engagements.
Complete Component Damage Overhaul: A ground-up rework of platform damage logic. System component failures now scale far more realistically as platforms take structural damage.
Submarine Cargo Operations: Submarines can now perform full cargo operations near shores, opening up new stealth logistics and special operations possibilities.
