Depending on the date someone posted a video, their campaign experience can be drastically different than what you experience playing now, all things being equal. I don't know when exactly, but some point after launch but before about a year or so ago some update noticeably altered how the AI behaves and/or how spotting and weapons behave in campaign. There was a dude I would follow to get some tips on Busan where I'd follow exactly what he was doing to the letter and yet could NEVER replicate his outcomes, same for 2nd Korean War. Same with a few other dudes I'd watch. Then I noticed they all had the same thing in common; all their videos were at least 5 years old.

You need to learn when to use right click, fast move, and attack move -- your infantry couldn't shoot their RPGs at the vehicles because you told them to keep running, whereas on attack move, they would've stopped to aim and shoot. You should also try to use shift orders (for example, select heli, right-click FOB, shift+right-click location = heli rearms at FOB, automatically returns to battlefield) and hotkeys (for example, Q to attack move, U for unload).
@JonathanWJ22 күн бұрын
Some more tips: - Multiple units will deploy faster if you call them in as stacks, instead of individually, as you did at 8:20. You can then split the stack after deployment. - You seem to have a poor understanding of unit capabilities (besides what they should be doing based on their class) and what counters what. One of the most impactful things I learned when I was a noob was to press "i" to see a unit's card mid-battle. Eventually, you will start to memorize stats. Game sense comes with experience.
@RageQuitWithTravis22 күн бұрын
Jonathan, thanks for the advice. I've used shift orders for movement before (for instance, to keep units in the woodline), however I hadn't though of using shift orders for supply. And I definitely need to use the hotkeys. Good point about the stacks as well. I'll look into the benefits and drawbacks of right click vice the other types of movement. Thanks again.
@JonathanWJ21 күн бұрын
@@RageQuitWithTravis Attack move (Q) should be the default type of movement when there is enemy nearby. This is the same as clicking 'Attack' and then clicking on the ground -- unit will move to that position unless it gains LOS with an enemy, at which point it will stop and engage. Use right-click only when you need to, e.g. 1. infantry entering a town block 2. when you want to precisely position a unit in a bush/treeline (holding RMB shows the silhouette) 3. retreating infantry from a fight 4. certain situations when you want to cross a gap without stopping, or your unit has a stabilizer and you want to fire on the move 5. moving with weapons turned off Use reverse (G) to retreat tanks/vehicles from a fight (keep front armor towards enemy) and fast move (F) when you want to move vehicles along roads (good for long distances, but can be vulnerable to ambush/side-shots).

Oooh I remember this one ! I feel you and laughed hard at the descent into madness, been there bro', took me entire afternoons hahaha ! And it only get worst after Kravtsovka. They're gonna bring units from the 80's for some reason... The key to me is to rush the AI with as much armoured units as you can. Embrace the Chinese General in you, your units are expendable. No point using the North Koreans at the start, keep them to invade the harbour map just after. It's a great game but the AI is unfortunately blatantly cheating : it always has extra points to spend at the start of the game, giving it a superior number of units ramming you straight up. Bought Warno recently, and it feels much better. At least the AI starts with the same number of points as you, and combine arms a little bit too. Hope you managed to finish the campaign since last month, otherwise good luck for the next try !

The problem is the Campaign AI and the skirmish AI are the same beast, they just bum rush one approach with the best tank units they can afford. They dont really combine arms until the tank pool gets low. If the campaign AI was scripted, then you'd be able to decode the enemy strategy and treat the match like a puzzle, rather than relying on cheese. But you couple the nature of the AI with the fact that China is one of the worst factions in the game, and your stuck with this.

Actually this campain is eazy with only one hard battle when you must force retreat sov division which have t80 and which you have nothing to destroy. Exept this battle all you need to do is spawn as much armored units as u can and force march->A-click to enemy point. In 99% cases enemy have nothing to put against you and all you need to do is find and destroy enemy CV. Аfter the victory, all you need is to finish off the retreating with helicopter division, which is given to you in the middle of the company, because if you win a battle in a province in which there is an enemy division that cannot retreat, it is destroyed in its entirety

Basically you go through each ship, offline the anti-ship missiles, then bring them all into range, trying to bait out ASMs from people for a while. Then when you are in range of the sovs you press H twice to turn them on and right click on the sov.

Hi good video, some advice and my Landjut deck code and some explanations about units i use in that deck. 1) Buy more ground units when you see enemy not more planes. All new players do a panic buy of planes and get overwhelmed on ground. 2) Always upvet your AA and try to switch of and on radar on them in case enemy have sead planes. 3)At start of match split map in half in your mind, so you know that everything in your side of map is your territory and enemy got nothing to do there. Also think which part of enemy map you want for yourself and how you gonna get it and then attack it. 4)Some base defense would be nice since people like to fly helicopters around the map and then into your base to kill artillery or command units. 5)Try some 10 vs 10 tacticals, but beware of slow income rate there. 6) At start watch out for enemy arty or plane bombing runs to obliterate your opener. Starting with 1 asf plane would be recommended. 7) Try to push for contact. This is my Landjut deck code for team games use it or get some ideas for your own deck. @IG8BwJkkaH84ZCvPi2ZHwRnmxAGphm4JpxUc3PtcBYcRIBjAYoTDo7pKmkftGyR+WuFHydMR8oeqHogtJiKEam3oyCIIiKA= 1. Only 1 card of command units, because in teamgames you dont need so many cvs. 2fobs just in case 1 is not enough. 2. Dont use jager infantry, they are not cost effective, better use reservist spam or dragoners. 3. Ottomatics, cant have to many of them. 4. Tube arty or mlrs, mlrs is more like area effect and tube arty is to take out enemy strongpoints. Use your own preference. 5. I like some sneaky stuff thats why Tiger recon helo, fuchs and recon inf in helicopter and some cheap recon for frontlines. 6. No bombers for landjut, only danish cluster planes to take out enemy tanks. 7. 1 cheap plane card to deal with enemy helicopters and only 1 card of asf since i have 3 cards of aa in my support tab.

Something that this game gets wrong in my opinion on default settings is UI readability. I see that you switched to NATO symbols and while that is a step in the right direction I would also recommend making the unit labels smaller and also completely disabling unit merging. It's much more important to know exactly what you are going up against regardless of zoom instead of seeing a line of symbols. This is due to the simple fact that seeing a line of 4 infantry labels without the context of the unit name doesn't tell you if they are shock squads coming to murder you or just some pathetic reservists marching to their death. Look at 17:20 as an example of why playing with label merging is just bad... Some much info and yet none of it is usable...

That's a great point. I agree that the UI readability is not great. My understanding is that WARNO does a better job with UI, although I have not played it, so I can't be sure.

I'll definitely go in and change the size of the unit labels and disable unit merging, as those are good points. There have been many times where I'm overwhelmed with the label merging.

hello, i got a recommendation of this video from unpredictable YT algorythms. what I see from your channel, you mainly play wargame campaign, which is a very different beast from wargame MP. I played MP for several hundred hours in past few years (approaching 1000 hours soon). it is very interesting to see how you try your first MP games. sorry that you got a helicopter rush as one of your first game, but i hope it wont happen to often with you :) I want to give couple advices how to improve your MP experience. some of my comments will be somewhat similar to other people's comments. 1) explore the armory and create decks. my advice is to stick to coalitions of 2-3 countries. coalitions are better than single nation decks (except USSR, USA, Israel and SA) because you get better variety and weapons of 1 nation can cover missing units in the other or have a straight forward improvement. i would advise to try first Eurocorp (W. Germany + France) for Bluefor and Warsaw Pact (E. Germany + Poland + Czhecoslovakia) coalitions for trial decks. to be honest, deck building is a very complex topic to discuss, it is not even feasible for one video. just try and create :) 2) learn which maps are good for you and just avoid bad maps at all when you are choosing the lobby (not applicable to ranked, obviously). for example, IMHO, gun boat diplomacy sucks because the map is split by half by a river and in order to push, players have to cross few choke points (bridges), which is a kill zone. so games on this map are very frustrating and can lead to stalemates, if players on both sides are equally skilled. 3) find someone to play with, preferably to make a team of 3-4 people. it's way funnier, you can also exchange experiences and decks with your pals. also better coordination on battlefield, for example coordinated air strikes. 4) and please dont play with default decks given by the game, they are horrible and wont give you any advantage, especiallly battle groups hope to see more MP related videos (or deck building), good luck!

I also read the unspec deckbuilding guide and realized that I should start with coalitions like you were saying. Therefore, I built an Eastern Block deck and a Landjut deck. However, I'd be interested in trying out Eurocorp and Warsaw Pact like you recommend. I appreciate the other suggestions and I'm looking forward to making another multiplayer video very soon.
