I know this is kind of silly, but even though TA's game mechanics are obviously great, I really liked its ambience and story. The sort of a melancholic vibe of a slow-moving neverending war.
BAR in contrast is a bit of a PvP clickfest, which I don't enjoy. I wonder if there's a game mode or another Spring mod that would give me a more authentic feel? Single-player or perhaps PvE.
Looking at this website, BAR seems to have oodles of lore, but it’s giving an LLM-written voice.
The engine website shows some other games which might be closer to the original TA: https://recoilengine.org/
