WARNO Tactical Overhaul

Make every approach matter.

Play on Steam · Source package · YSM Community · Yuri’s WARNO Toolkit

WTO reshapes engagement ranges, movement, vision, and weapon behavior across WARNO’s roster, changing where fights begin and how you approach them.

Features

• Longer reach. Reworked ammunition and missile ranges change the space between opposing forces.
• Movement and reconnaissance. Revised road speeds and sight ranges reshape routes and positioning.
• Weapon timing and handling. Adjusted projectile speeds, missile flight, engagement cycles, artillery behavior, and selected weapon rules.
• Customizable balance. Tune the parts you want while keeping the remaining defaults.
• YSM integration. Apply WTO after YSM to bring its balance pass to the expanded sandbox, or build WTO alone against compatible WARNO mod data.
• WTO × ANY MOD. Bring the tactical overhaul to a mod you love with YWT. Compatibility varies by mod.

Work with the source

1. Create a WARNO mod with Mods/CreateNewMod.bat YourModName. Put Deploy-WTO.bat in the new folder beside GameData and CommonData, then run it. The installer sets up YMB, YSM, and WTO, and asks before applying changes.
2. Keep local overrides in YMB/ymb.config.yaml under mods.wto.variables or mods.wto.patches. For source development, edit shared tuning in config/ymb.mod.yaml and feature defaults or ammunition rules.json files in config/patch. Installer updates preserve local overrides but replace downloaded mod configs; keep authored changes in your own checkout.
3. From the WARNO mod folder, preview with YMB\YMB.bat build --mod ysm --mod wto. Inspect YMB/.ymb-build/output, apply with YMB\YMB.bat sync --mod ysm --mod wto, then compile using WARNO’s generation tools. Omit --mod ysm from both commands for WTO alone.

Keep YMB/.ymb-state for recovery. See YMB’s configuration guide for overrides and feature selection, and workflow guide for updates and recovery.
