Cool bit idk if u’ve experienced yet; if u play on Iron u have a tactical chance of friendly fire, especially at night. It’s rare and u really have to get ur men out of contact with each other (a lot easier with WWII battles) but it’s a possibility. I had a recent battle where a pixel truppen with a Thompson panic sprayed a hedgerow with allies because he got caught in crossfire during a flanking maneuver without previous knowledge of his allied squads firing position.

I find lower difficulties more difficult. First time playing a CMBS campaign, and the Ukranains kept dropping mortars directly on my infantry because of the fast call in time. On higher difficulties I could keep ahead of their bombardment and took a lot less casualties

Yep. All the advantages of the lower difficulties also apply to the AI, so they're usually actually much harder.

Another informative video, UH. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Really useful for newer players, especially. It's Iron all the way for me. I get it when UH says what's the point in not seeing your own troops when you know where they all are anyway, but I like it for the realism, from a pixeltruppens POV. Especially when putting a video together. On Iron you can only see what they can see

I used to think the description for Iron meant if you lost C2 for a unit you flat-out couldn't control it or see it until you re-established a link lol it was the only reason I never played on Iron.

It was in the first game so, they have removed it :-( it was a very cool future. Especially when only tac ai took over and they tried to follow there waypoints. Many many cool thing got removed. Like setting buildings and areas on fiere. And formulating orders and waiting until they get passed down and executed by your troops. No instant moving.

I think Iron would be better when you keep your own units spotted, but you get the picture of the highest elemt in your comand chain, if noone is selcted, so you never have the full Enemy picture clearly.

I've been playing for 15 yrs now, and always disagreed with describing the different levels as "skill" or "difficulty" discounting Basic Training which uses completely different spotting being geared to new players. What I feel the difference between Veteran through to Iron is a convenience level liking it to using the remote control to change the channel vs getting up to do it for those old enough to remember those times. In Veteran there is pretty much nothing you can't find out about the enemy that you couldn't find out anyways by zooming in and looking at the enemy models except in Veteran it gives you that info conveniently in the UI. Just saves me having to move camera to get closer look which In Iron I play sometimes will give me more info than Veteran since I may notice if they are carrying panzerfaust where in Veteran I wouldn't have looked closer and missed that. True, unless you see a radio man you may not be able to determine if a HQ or not, but really never felt that makes much difference as an enemy is an enemy and don't try to target them anymore than another. You have to remember more of what icon was what like MG's other than Veteran instead of the convenience of it just showing MG icon. You already know it"s there so I prefer to see the matching Icon. True, the time is a a little more quicker pace for aid and fire missions, but it is the same for opponent so it"s balanced. As stated the AI is the same no matter the setting so I prefer Veteran and Iron because that actually helps discerning LOS. Veteran is a little easier with time restraints, but again haven't found that much of an issue when I play on Iron. Where the modes make a HUGE difference is playing real time vs WEGO where you can rewind and look at enemy. Your skill comes in how well you make tactical and strategic decisions, not in the games "skill" settings. Lastly I prefer Veteran being more of high camera angle and top down player, and Iron because I like to see as many of my Icons in my mods :)

I will add that with the increase of the level you're units level of stress increases the capacity of reaction decreases the probability of spotting an enemy even when they have an general idea where the enemy my be is very low. All of the above I tested on Iron difficulty.

Iron I"m almost 100 percent certain was designed for coop play which was originally supposed to be included way back in 2007. Which would make sense, but as a single player "difficulty" level, it doesn't make much sense.

No, not at all. Extremely well documented on their forum for decades (their chioce of spotting, why, etc...). Coop play, while a good idea was never, ever even on the serious planning stage at Battlefront. Not trying to "debate" as there really is none; check their forum on their site or just ask.
