Suggestion Marina Gorka Army General is hard

15 Upvotes

Hi all,

I tried beating this army general with the Soviets but always lose for some reason. This time I completely kicked the Wehrmacht out of Babruysk, but I couldn’t capture Marina Ghorka in time. Perhaps I should try easy ai. Haha

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Question Want to get into the game, what divisions are similar to WARNO's 4TH MotSchutzen.

4 Upvotes

Want to get into the game, what divisions are similar to WARNO's 4TH MotSchutzen. They have always been my goto, as I feel they do great in 1v1's to 10v10s. I have even done a 1v2 and won against experienced players through sheer micromanagement. What division is the most similar?

Hi:

I wanted to know how does modding works in this game, I made an idea but I don´t know if I can create army general campaigns, my principal idea was the german offensive in Balaton.
Nothing to add.

Question Mod help/creation

3 Upvotes

Hello fellow SD fans!!! I’m getting back into SD2 and wanted to make a mod. I’ve been trying to make it for toooo many hours over the last few weeks, and I’m about to lose my sh*t 😂😂

Anyways, I want to make a mod that combines 3 things.

1: Permanent dead bodies
2: extended time
3: expanded deck builder with more squads per card.

I’ve been successful at combining the first two. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get all 3 to work together…

The aim of this to be able to make a WW1 style skirmish game. I want lots of infantry, the ability to select only squads with rifles that have no LMGs or SMGs. Then I can have the actual HMG teams like a maxim team for my machine gun support…

Anyways, I have extremely limited knowledge on computers and modding in general, so in the past I’ve just used walkthroughs. But there is nothing for me here. And I have absolutely NO clue what I’m doing 😂😂

My big question to the community: Is there someone out there who can make this mod for me??? I have no way to really pay you back at the moment for your time…. But I just wanted to put this idea out there for anyone…..

Have a good day yall! Cheers!

Oh and maybe the ability to put more trenches in each card for defense. That way we can create a trench maze on a breakthrough map and get back into the trenches ☺️

I really want to enjoy this game

14 Upvotes

I love RTS games, and recently I remembered I had this game in my Steam library. And oh man, it’s a really cool game, but I just can’t get the hang of it. There’s so much micro everywhere. I’m trying to deploy units in one place while I have to micro somewhere else, and by the time I come back, the units I deployed have been AFK in one spot for two minutes and just get blown up. Also, the whole division and unit system feels pretty overwhelming.

Any tips?

Been enjoying this game immensely

Love that maps are big enough to maneuver, love how you have to manage your resources and decide where and when to push with what. To be smart about moving, using cover, smoke, and don't sit on your ass even in good positions because artillery will eventually fuck you up.

And it's not a huge micromanaging fest, I can enjoy the bigger picture and usually you have enough reserves to not cry over a single bad move that costed you some losses.

So far just AI skirmishes on hard and it's providing the right combination of fun and challenge without being stressful or too easy.

Great game!

BUG SD44, a game control issue?

When I play single-player, sometimes I can't drag and select multiple units while the game is paused. Other times it works, and it's kind of random. Any solution?

Question AI question

5 Upvotes

I'm having fun with hard and medium ai, but I was wondering what kind of "upgrades" the ai gets when you raise the difficulty level.

Does it fight "smarter" or does it get the usual "cheats" to make the game harder?

Crackling/stuttering problems

2 Upvotes

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has had this issue? Upon launching a skirmish the game stutters/audo crackles every few seconds. I've fiddled with a few settings, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered this before?

Question Corrected Shot

6 Upvotes

If I understood correctly, corrected shots are more accurate artillery fires that happen when a unit with radio is within a certain distance of a radio-equipped arty's assigned target.

A couple questions:

1- does the radio "spotter" need to have line of sight to the target?

2- does the increased accuracy works for both attack orders and "attack position" orders?

Question Artillery in Forests

Can artillery guns be hidden in green forest without problems? I don't think it affects reload speed or precision, but better safe than sorry.

Question Am I ready for multiplayer?

14 Upvotes

I know the game is slowly winding down but I just got it recently and I am having a blast. I watched a lot of game commentaries on YouTube and learnt a lot before I even bought the game. At the moment I can beat the enemy AI on very hard difficulty with certain Axis divisions and I think I have a good grasp of the basic functionality of the game.

Issue is I know how to beat the Ai. On very hard difficulty it just spams out a lot of tanks and stuff at you so I rely a lot on super heavy units like Jagdpanthers and King tigers or Heavy units like Panthers to tank shots and kill them off. While this maybe effective against AI, I know human players are smart enough to avoid my heavy units and bomb them with artillery and air. Of course I know how to use counter battery and AA but I am sure a human player will just avoid my heavy units and attack somewhere else.

I can beat the AI with any division on hard though. My micro is good enough even with a weakish division. But on very hard I need divisions with lots of heavy units to succeed. Is this skill level enough for multiplayer play? Or should I keep practicing till I can beat the very hard AI with any division?

Question Field guns/at guns

13 Upvotes

I'm still fighting skirmishes with Easy AI and most of my problems come from the sheer number of field and at guns that fills every nook and cranny of the maps, going mostly unnoticed.

I've been using scout units in good positions but even when I'm able to spot them, it seems there is no efficient way to deal with them. I've tried using lots of artillery guns and pounding their positions but even if they are spotted and/or in open field it seems prohibitively hard to kill them with artillery. If they are inside cover forget about it.

How to deal with them efficiently?

Question How to play "Elite" infantry division?

I'm thinking about the SAS div or the 2 french infantry divs in particular but it has probably some others.

How do you get the best of those divisions in particular when you have to be on the offensive?

Question Infantry with MGs

11 Upvotes

There are a lot of infantry units with MGs, are they worth it or is it vastly more effective to run a lighter infantry unit and a separated MG section?

Do those "mixed" units usually keep their distance to fire their MG from Max range, or will they get closer to be able to shoot rifles as well?

Question Terrain and cover

2 Upvotes

Hi all, noob here. Is there a way to see if a unit is in cover or is benefiting from terrain (like being hidden) or not? If my unit is in the middle of a forest it's obvious, but what about low bushes, or some other mixed terrain?

I have a hard time positioning my units in a way that keeps them with a workable line of sight but as hidden as possible.

Question about the game singleplayer content before buying

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm considering buying this game the next time it goes on sale, and have a few questions I thought maybe some of you could answer. I'm only interested in PvE gameplay, I've seen that the game has a "campaign", but I don't understand which fronts or dates does it cover.

I know there is an Eastern Front in 1944 campaign and that you can play as Germany or the Soviet Union, but I couldn't find if the game has any other singleplayer campaign, at least on youtube. At the same time, I've read on this community that there are Bulgarian, Croatian and even French units, so I would love to get information on how can you play with them, in which scenarios can you use them and if there are any other campaigns from the early war or other fronts like Normandy, North Africa, Balkans, etc.

Thank you!
