Really depends on what are you looking for. If you focus on SP, and you're not fan of a sandbox campaign like in TW, you may try regiments. If that's not a problem and you want MP too, go for Warno. BA is still likely a long way before they release it, but another beta test should be aviable on september. Again BA has another flavour, depending if you like a more fast paced game with a somewhat degree of freedom in unit customization

What Groucho said, depends on your own preference.

WARNO is strategic, where as the other two are more tactical focused due to the scale.

You control more units overall in WARNO, notably more, and losses are permanent, you are not meant to cycle your units like you do in the other two.

Combat is somewhat similar between Regiments and WARNO, your units are somewhat 'box standard as-is', the weapons they have is what they get, and they lob them at one another with X accuracy that isn't in the 90% territory. BA combat is more tactical, combination of being able to get the first shots in as you are very unlikely to miss, and the weapon loadouts you pick for you individual units, and possibly armor kits depending on the unit.

Regiment is the closest to WARNO in comparison to BA, as BA is a different kind of RTS, if you have ever played World in Conflict, it is like that.

The core issue with BA is what Groucho mentioned, BA release date is still up in the air, and so far the devs have pushed the released date 6+ months forwards three times if I recall correctly. It was initially meant to release in first quarter of 2023, then it got pushed to early 2024, now it is late 2024. In other words, 'waiting' for BA instead of getting another game to play while you wait is like not going to work because you expect the lottery win come in any second now. Not throwing shade at the devs, what they write is very much because of the worry they have towards community backlash if they don't deliver the perfect game the community expects it to be.

To put it overly simplistic, Regiments could be something like light version of WARNO. BA is not released and currently with very limited number of people who can play test it. Nothing much else can be said about BA. Regiments does have a free demo which you can try.

I have both WARNO and Regiments and I like both of them. However I am only into Single Player so can't speak about MP in WARNO. Both have a good AI, but AI has a very simple approach. SPAM, it can send a few units into flanking attack. But mostly it's a head on attack. Gets predictable. Although when comes to WARNO and MP, what I read around, players mainly spam arty.

Regiments delivers better (and only has) Single Player experience with more game mods than WARNO. Overall it's easier to play, it's not so "grand" scale battlefield as in WARNO. Still if you don't pay attention, AI will roll over you.

For me, WARNO has better looks and controllable airplanes, while Regiments has better gameplay. BA I will have to wait and see how it goes.
I wonder why most players are missing Armoured brigade. Its such a beutiful game. Much deeper than Regiments....

Not exactly a mystery, as there are two rather significant reasons why people would prefer other titles over a game such as Armored Brigade.

First, graphics. People will gravitate to games that look pretty, and from just the screenshots it is easy to tell that Armored Brigade is not that, especially when compared to the games mentioned in the thread.

Second, accessibility. There is a reason why CS and CoD games are more popular than, say, Arma. People like simplicity and ease of access over actual realism. If there are hundreds of possible things you need to manage and keep in mind at all times, you won't be getting a large audience. There is a reason why games like WARNO are niche in the RTS genre. It is complex in its own way, not impossibly so, but still complex enough to not reach mass appeal.
Consider that you are wargamer, than you should not be disappealed by complexity and armoured brigade is not a difficult game to handle. Its controll system is same like close combat.

What keep me from Regiments is exactly how simplified the gamedesign is, only graphics keeps it on the sales.

In Armoured brigade each battle is remarkable, well designed.

I guess that Broken Arrow will follow The World in Conflict, but with deeper mechanics.

Graviteam tactics is the pinacle of the wargaming. Its in thought the battle engine full of historic scenario.
Combat mission is perfect "like movie" experience, if you handle huge micro.
Armoured brigade should not be omitted, even if it doesn't looks pretty. Its mechanics is worth trxing.

Agreed, one of the best out there in terms of gameplay. And WARNO is primarily a tactical game like the other 2 (this isn't meant for you but whoever suggested WARNO is strategy). AG is operational/strategy but the main game (battles) is tactical level.

AB is so simple to get into as well. It has more planning from the deployment phase and less reactive responses (but not none).

Comparing Armored Brigade with a game like Regiments, sounds out of place. It's more fitting to compare AB with, for example Close Combat series. Because both are 2D games with more similar gameplay.
Not liking e.g. Regiments because of game design, is okay, different preference. But saying it's not good like this other game which is a totally different design is apple and oranges. Both are fruits but still not the same.
In defense of Regiments, it's not made to be some big competitor to Wargame series or a "WARNO killer". It's just an alternative, a light version so to speak. Regiment is thrown here into comparison because gameplay design is far more similar to one in WARNO than to Armored Brigade.
AB has 3D terrain, why to compare it withClose combat and not Regiments?

AB has deep mechanics about relaying orders, morale... what does the Regiments have?

Its small project, so its just bird perspective. It hase nothing to do with the gamedesign.

If anybody looks for SP experience, than i belive AB is more interesting, than anything on the sale. Warno wins by its graphics.
