HOLD THE LINE - The Far Escape - Turns 1 & 2 - Graviteam Tactics Mius Front

[@kevinvelado9907]

YES! This game is peak strategy and tactics. So glad you're back with this game!

Game is really good but the AI really need some work

Me Too!

@@InquisitorTyrus Sadly this is too true. For every over-complicated, hyper-realistic game too. See EU4 Meiou and Taxes for example. The game is perfect, but the AI can't handle it at all.

@@ggtt2547 clearly, game today aim only for photorealistic graphics when the actual true revolution of video game would be an new gen AI.

More graviteam from tonci, we have been blessed!

[@arkadiy9321]

Responded on the forum, but let me drop one here, for the sake of KZbin algorithm:) For the artillery (around minute 29), you are right. Certain batteries can be used in both on- and off- map roles. If you click on the spotter, the UI will highlight the batteries linked to that spotter, and for the off-map use, the batteries have to be in the reserve. @37:00: these units will become available when their HQ arrives @1:07:28: the lack of AT shell is a “tell”, similar to how your infantry won’t have AT grenades, and it means the enemy has no armor

[@arkadiy9321]

In this case though, there is no armor, but there are still a few AT rounds, which is a nice “misdirection” :) Perhaps, there would be more in case enemy armor were to be present.

[@richardwicker672]

Many, many thanks for bringing this sim back. I've just started getting into it again after several years break and trying to get my head around the updates... One request.. Please, please include at least one episode where you don't skip the deployment phase. I for one would love you watch that, rather than always skipping straight to the battle. Really going to enjoy this, along with your SH3 campaign. 😃

[@liongames7011]

graniteam tactics is the reason i started watching your videos

[@joelthorne2304]

its amazing to see these historical battles recreated with such accurate maps. I enjoy watching this series while I assemble scale models.

[@davelytle3467]

Lol. I am doing the same.

[@AceDupuy]

I have family from Kremenchuk (shown as Kremenchug). It's strange to watch you fight in an area so close to where they lived.

[@supbro2328]

Just to want to let you know ik your probably not getting as many views as you want but keep up the good work I enjoy your videos they are very peaceful and don’t feel down that you may not be getting the views the likes etc but know you do have a small loyal fan base that enjoy your videos thanks for the content keep it up (just wanted to say this)

[@2brokenpc]

I never watched any game of this type before. Decided to give it a try and I can say that I don't regret

[@IIKraftI]

ahh that ro2 menu music😍😍😍

[@Foxrich99]

So hyped for the new campaign. The RO2 music hit me like a brick in the start, so many memories. Checked out a few older campaigns during the SDIII breaks and absolutely love this rts series now

[@SB-pz7hp]

I am so happy that you are back with this amazing game. Your play style and story telling - everything makes this awesome.

[@cynicusnihilisticusparadox2]

Love to see video's on this game, only recently got into it myself and sad to see it not get more coverage... I get it's niche, bit would still love to see more of it. Especially newer stuff as the game has really changed over the years(just gotten better and better) from what I can see

[@whyme943]

Really excited to see more graviteam from you! Your play throughs of this game are easily the best on KZbin.

[@thestoicsteve]

Thanks for restarting playing this game and sharing your experience with it here. It is good that the game is being updated and hopefully the new DLC will get us back into playing it again. Looking forward to your future videos.

[@EricMehl-r2f]

@29:40 - the answer to your question is yes, the spotter has no guns under his direct call/control because you have them attached. when/if you remove them from the company they 're attached to they will "link" and establish as off map HQ assets again... edit: the weird/broken arty sound @57:00 is caused by Ruki sound mod after the newest updates to GTMF, in my experience re-installing/ re-enabling "should" fix it.

[@jebnagel]

So glad your back with Graviteam! The game is a masterpiece and you are it's foremost champion.

[@maxreeferr]

Excited to see more Graviteam! Your Peleshi series was one of my favourites

[@paulchenpanther1256]

oh sehr schön. Prima das du dein Wort gehalten hast und wieder Graviteam bringst, vielen Dank dafür. ich freue mich riesig darüber. Eine sehr schöne Einführung , sehr detalliert und liebevoll gemacht, und auch nicht zu lange. Prima

[@Tonci87]

Ganz lieben Dank!

[@mrorome5064]

If I'm not wrong the Panzergranate Rot is the HEAT round on the Stug, but I guess the game just counts them as AP. Rot designation can be a bit messy though, so I'm not 100% sure.

[@Tonci87]

No, the heat round is another shell

[@windsormiau217]

[@jadeia.]

First time seeing this game, very interesting and love the depth and strategy.

[@lukasstrickling9257]

Hi, wenn du die zugehörigen Arty-Platoons in die Reserve verschiebst, dann gehen die verfügbaren Geschütze für den Spotter hoch (also von 0 (4) auf 2 (4) bzw. 4 (4)). So kann man bspw auch nur einen Teil offmap, einen Teil onmap machen. Cheers, hab von dir viel über das Spiel gelernt!

[@lukasstrickling9257]

Oh und: du brauchst ein Update zum Ruki-Soundmod, dieser Bug mit den total metallischen Arty-Einschlägen geht dann weg.

[@Ramash440]

I haven't played GT in a while either, not ever since I got a new SSD and had to do a fresh OS install. Just felt too lazy to reinstall most of my games but now you got me in the mood for it again. Which means time to relearn the whole game, my knowledge retention is pretty low when it comes to it...

[@Tonci87]

Go ahead, I´m sure you´ll have fun :)

[@datonegamer218]

I'm trying to get into the game with Tank Warfare Tunisia. So this will help to learn the game. I love the historical background in this video.

[@battleshipfreez2344]

1:07:00 Well, in GTMF, 7.5cm K Rot Gr Pz is arguably very effective against anything less than 70mm thick, including T-34 and Sherman. I guess GTMF has some simulation for high T/D ratio penetration effects? Anyway, it's more effective than 7.5cm Gr38 HL/B HEAT shells in game. In GTMF, it can reliably do damage when hitting T-34 and Sherman's frontal hull, as 10.5cm PzGr can reliably do damge to KV-1.

I really wish these guys would make a grand strategy version of this game. Same gameplay and everything but the game starts in 1939 and you can battle your way to like 1948, more managment for research and reinforcements and such. I would love that.

[@Ossimsauce86]

Woah!! More Mius front?!?! Very nice!

[@NeoIvan17]

Good to see you back on this game. Will you do a Soviet playthrough of this mission in the future?

[@Tonci87]

I don‘t think so. Seeing how many tanks the soviet have, I would steamroll the Germans in this one

[@thisherehandleIdospout]

Hmmm, game seems like it takes some of the best elements of the Combat Mission and Close Combat games and combines them, and adds more (mostly?) good stuff of its own, as well. Might need to check it out, after such glowing praise from Toncs 😃

[@marionmorrison2854]

I wish Tank Warfare would get some new scenarios or a new western front game. It's unlikely given all the resources and assets they have invested into the eastern front. But a guy can hope.

I heard about this game and watched reviews on it, but wasn't brave enough to buy it because of complicated mechanics. Maybe this playtrough will eventually make me buy it. Also it will be interesting to find out about this, lesser known part of history of my country and WW2.

As someone who lives in a country where most of the terrain is mountainous, it seems unrealistic to me how you can fight a battle on such a vast expanse of flat land.

one thing they really need to tweak in this game is how close the enemy puts its units to the player deployment area , ironicaly in op star the ai focused so heavily on the capture points that it barely moved anywhere while here it tends to be the polar opposite

I think it's because historically the Soviets want to push the Germans back. Especially in this case.

@Tonci87 (MarkShot from Steam; just asked you about SFK42). It is great to see this recent play through as I have also put down MIUS as long as you. I am aware of game changes, but have not played with them. You have a very nice style doing these ... I don't know what I would call it, "docudrama let's play". You said you put it down, because you did not to play on maps people are currently dying sadly, I guess since you started NATO has invaded Russia in this region. Why can we just not play wargames? There is nothing in this war for us ordinary pawns. We don't matter. (I play war games for the intellectual challenge like chess; not to watch tank crews running around on fire.) I pray your land will find peace and not war.

Comment for the algorithm

[@martwint6]

Nur mal so am Rande, die 3,7cm Pak war 1941 noch ganz passabel. Der Großteil der sowj. Panzer (90%) waren keine T-34 bzw. KV Panzer, sondern T-26 und BT Panzer. Oder was glaubst du, wer die ganzen Panzer abgeschossen hat?

[@Tonci87]

Das ist richtig, ändert aber nichts daran, dass die Kanone so gut wie nutzlos ist sobald KV oder T-34 Panzer mit auf dem Feld sind.

[@martwint6]

@@Tonci87 Das ist richtig, aber das klingt immer so, als wenn T-34 und KVs die einzigen Panzer gewesen wären. Die Sowjets haben 1941 über 20.000 Panzer verloren und der Großteil geht nunmal an das "Heeresanklopfgerät".
