Does someone know a fix for why on insane graphic settings things still look blocky. My machine gun from tanks look like someone took a dashed highlighter.

HannibalBarca posted:Yeah, I'm having a tough time making infantry work considering that one vehicle can pin down an infantry squad and basically make it useless because the man-portable AT in this game is so short-ranged. I don't know how to do much besides park them in tree-lines or towns and hope for the best Park them behind a LOS-cutting obstacle and only move up when enemy approaches your position? Requires a bit of recon to see when they're coming, of course.

Agean90 posted:so how effective is shouting ROMMEL WAS A WAR CRIMINAL into chat? Are there people spouting Wehraboo stuff in the actual multiplayer? I couldn't help but notice 2nd Panzer (Das Reich) isn't included in the game, or at least not in the official list that's circulating. For those who haven't read Max Hasting's Das Reich or similar works, even by SS standards that unit were war criminal bastards. On a more cheerful not, I lost my second game against the medium A.I., but it had to work for it this time and the game went the distance. I am now determined to beat the drat thing at least once before I do anything else.

Third time was the charm, major victory with 10 minutes to go. I'm really liking this, the AI is much more capable that the bag of rocks that was the Wargame series. Roles are much more linearly defined and combined arms are absolutely necessary. High end tanks aren't so tough, Aircraft are less powerful. For those having trouble with the medium AI, a solid defence with well positioned AT guns, covered with MG guns/squads is a good basis on which to build, it also lets you concentrate on pushing forward while your flanks are secure. One of my 6 pounders in the game got 12 AFV kills.

I played for a few hours with goons and it was fun. All I did was take infantry-centric Scots Whatevers and fight over towns. I liked starting with a trio of light tanks and then mostly just infantry squads. Eventually I'd bring out some self-propelled heavy artillery and AA tanks and start shelling everything while soaking up all the damage with my infantry horde.

TV dog Wishbone of PBS posted:Will command vehicles buff infantry and command infantry buff vehicles? It's a flat command bonus, not an armored etc command bonus. I am kinda of stymied on this beta so far, cuz I think the factions are a little unbalanced. It's probably purposeful for play testing, but you have the generally weaker German paratroopers who's main claim to fame is THOUSANDS OF (lovely) MANS and the armored heavy, but only kicks off on phase B+ armor against the Scots with their unstoppable early ARVE and the Yanks with their "everything comes in a mechanized unit that has a machine gun that'll gently caress you up and even shoot planes!" Hell, the two allied cards have the most potential to rush, even, what with both having mobile recon in phase a. And the US gets jeep spam on top of their nonsense. I don't think their overpowered by a long shot, but it feels like a weird set up that's strictly in the allies favor, just not overwhelmingly so. ps wooper you are wrong and bad

At some point I will be back to make like 750 posts in this thread like ALB, but right now I'm playing too much Stellaris and Legion to get caught up. From the little I've played it feels extremely good though. Soon, friends. Soon.

For 3rd Armored, Stuart rushing seems to work pretty well. There is not much that can slow down 3 Stuart's, a command Stuart and some recon early on. Bring a lightning to deal with any uncovered AT. While they are galavanting around fill in key points behind them with infantry and AT guns.

Yeah, but that was more suited for the old Epic game. The scale for this one would work great for regular 40k.

For people who are struggling with getting good range on units, one thing that isn't super obvious is that hedgerows don't block shots, but do block line of sight. If you have recon squads hidden in hedgerows ahead of your AT guns and tanks you will be able to fire on enemies that can't see you back (though you do get revealed when you fire).

Finally won my first game against the Medium AI, after it had been kicking my rear end the first few games. I found rushing infantry/commanders to 3 key defensive spots on the 50% line on the left/centre/right then reinforcing them with machine guns and AT, then bringing up heavier equipment gave me the initial advantage I could use to hold out.
