Errr I’m not complaining! Saving for a PC at the mo - for the sole purpose of buying those sweet RTS games that just don’t get released on console.

[@Plague_Doc22]

Most RTS arent very demanding. Usually more CPU bound games. Even a mid level GPU will do.

[@nicklong27]

Don't be afraid to go back to older titles like Command and Conquer: Generals, the original Warhammer 40K Dawn of war and Star Wars: Empire at war. They are fantastic games

[@alexoelkers2292]

yeah PC games tend to have a little more depth... I'm playing a insanely deep sandbox game right now called Kenshi right now which is like a squad based RTS role playing game sandbox, you build a base, you defend it, kind of do whatever you want.

[@TheGavranatar]

bought a gaming pc when i was 31. should have done it ten years earlier

Looking at Warhammer Total War II as the benchmark to guide my purchase... Then it’s just - Company of Heroes 1&2 Men at War : Assault Squad 1&2 Steel Division Dawn of War Warhammer Total War 1&2 Shogun Total War II Medieval Total War II Empire Total War Total War Three Kingdoms

[@darken2417]

I wonder why there are only alternate versions of WWII.... Its a mystery.... >_>

[@yourarseismine1016]

Alternative history is a fancy way of devs saying "we have crammed every gender and race in this era and fucked it up as much as possible because we're cunts :)"

[@Diree]

Because let's be honest, we've had "realistic" WWII scenarios for decades now and doing alternate history can be fun, it gives you more freedom, etc. It's just important to label it as such. Without alternate history there would be no Wolfenstein.

[@yourarseismine1016]

@@Diree The 'Alternate history' label is loosely used nowadays, you can't cram women into a ww2 scenario and a few prototype weapons just to achieve that 'alternative' label, Wolfenstein does it correctly, it has backstory and a lore to it, games like this don't.

[@isukiri9987]

Yeah its straight up disrespectful to the women who worked back home, almost like saying that their role wasn’t important enough

[@Edax_Royeaux]

Women did end up on the frontlines of WW2, but either because the frontline collapsed and they were intended to be support units but ended up with a rifle in their hands (this happened in Poland) or as snipers or tankers in Russia's case (but they too were really desperate). But from what it looks in this game, this is a commando unit behind enemy lines so that would be bonkers.

The presence of women in a WW2, military combat zone, if they are not nurses, killed this game for me. I won't bother playing it. I cherish realism over everything else.

[@dernachtschreck830]

Thats why over 30% of Russian Snipers were women. What part of your masculinity is hurt?

[@jorgeloredo100]

Before some one comes with the obligatory comment, no, women did not fought for the Russians, that was propaganda from URSS.

[@jersen5085]

@@dernachtschreck830 0% of British soldiers was woman, and Russian women snipers was much less than 30%, and learn history why its happens, almost all male demographic from 16 to 60 was involved in war because of enormous casualties, they don't have any choice but to start taking woman in army, that's why this game is insult to real man and woman who take part in ww2

[@mistahstyle]

I don't, however I do put immersion up, for example many hardcore shooters are not very realistic but they get you to focus because you are having fun (like red orchestra / rising storm, insurgency and on some level r6s), but than I tried project reality and it was boring as fuck! I did not encounter a single person for a long long long time, also I could not spawn on squad members / leaders so It was very uncomfortable, however I do not disreespect Project Reality since it's a game that it's devs put a VERY high investment in, but when I played it I came to realize that I do not like the concept of the most realistic shooter you can find.... But yeah women in these WWII wars kinda ruins the not just the realism but the immersion, because you what both of realizm and immersion have in common is that when you make the war game you at least need to get the details right, and suddenly you see a women in the war... It's not that bad (on the surface level most people don't care, I do slightly care but it won't be a deal breaker to the game), it only becomes a deal breaker when all immersion is ruined like in battlefield V(agina) where they tried to make WWII look like fortnite, just based on the trailer for this game I knew I won't be buying it...

[@1111Tactical]

For me, turn based combat just doesn't work in the small scale. At a large RTS or Civilization type scale, it makes sense, you're like a general or commanding officer who gives commands on the scale of a campaign or battle, they execute them, report back to you with what happened and what the enemy did, then you give another set of commands. In a tiny squad or party, it just doesn't make sense.

[@LitlBlackDragonNinja]

Giving snipers, thus turning your soldiers in good snipers. Uhm, am I the only one who thinks that there is something wrong with this? Weren't snipers really good shooters but also cold blooded as they'd kill people they'd see through the optics. There was army investigation and research on why only a few percent of the soldiers who fought in WW2 ever fired their guns at the general direction of the enemy and why a small percentage of that group shot to kill. And it was due to that people tend to not want to kill but those who did, were doing it because they wanted to protect their friends and allies. So, not everyone can become a sniper and that is why only a few who do not feel guilty of killing others become snipers. However, after the war, the armies around the world tried to make soldiers more efficient in the killing business by essentially easing them into the act. For example, the targets at the shooting ranges, that were red and white circles, where replaced with human shaped ones that were painted in a way so that they'd look like enemy soldiers.Look up the video: Shoot to Kill by Lindybeige.
