I built a WARDOGS reference site: artillery ranging corrections, a travel-time ruler, and my own 10-minute player counts
I've been playing since the playtest and kept ending up with a notepad full of numbers, so I put them somewhere usable.
Up front, so nobody clicks in expecting English: the site is in Ukrainian. Most of what's on it is numbers, maps and in-game renders, which read fine either way, but that's the honest state of it. (UPD: The site is completely translated)
A few things from it that might be worth knowing on their own:
The maps are exactly 16.384 km per side. Not an estimate - the tile bounds in Apollyon's open calculator data run 0-163.84 at 100 m per unit. All three maps are the real in-game renders with an A1-H8 sector grid over them.
The ruler gives travel time, not just distance. Drag a line and it tells you how long that is on foot, running, in a Bobcat, a Humvee, or a helicopter. Rotation timing was the thing I kept getting wrong.
The artillery calculator does ranging corrections. Firing tables are the same open MIT data everyone uses (credit to Apollyon). What I added: it works on all three maps, and you can type in how far your ranging shot landed over/short and left/right and get the corrected elevation and azimuth back. I left out height correction and time of flight on purpose - the mil scale can't be verified from that data, and I'd rather leave a gap than invent a ballistic model.
Player counts every 10 minutes , sampled since the playtest, plus an hour-by-hour chart of when people are actually online. Playtest peak was 105,774.
388 items with in-game renders - weapons, ammo, attachments, vehicles, buildables - and a cargo planner for vehicle bed slots and crate costs.
What's missing, honestly: 316 of those 388 items still have no prices or stats, and the maps have no POI markers yet. Both are waiting for EA on the 10th so I can check in game instead of guessing.
No ads, no trackers, nothing to sign up for: wardogshub.uk
If something in there is wrong I'd rather hear it - the vehicle prices especially, those came off beta 1 screenshots.
