As a player of WwA from its beta days. I will say this; stay away from it. It is basically p2w coh clone. It WAS good though back then but nowadays the devs heavily monetize the heck out of the game. Upgrading units at lower level doesn't eat much resources but the amount of resources needed ti upgrade units will skyrocket insanely. Yes, you are forced to only focus on one nation only. This is still somewhat understandable to an extent. The devs keep releasing legendary units that is almost difficult to get and only available on special limited time banners. It costs contracts which you can buy from "special" deals which either costs Gold tokens (another special currenty) at an overpriced price OR get them from events that is outright cashgrab or for whales only. That's not all, they also gives general separate levels too. When a general reach lv 10, they give massive buffs to your armies. The problem with that is in order to get general cards upgrades, you have to spend on general special banners again and yes, it costs contracts again. To upgrade them to lv 10 costs shit ton of cards. We are not done yet though, they also recently released "mastery" bs which is special upgrades you can only get from special banners as far as I know (I already quit at this point). This mastery gives you an edge against non mastery units. From what I hear from veterans, mastery massively changes how the gane plays. Suddenly a basic rifleman can outrange a defensive bunkers, soviet flame tank suddenly become faster than speed of light. Tldr; at the time of this writing, the game is a garbage p2w CoH2 clone with gacha that only cares for whales. If you intend to play and don't be a whale, then stick around low lv league and avoid upgrading your troops since matchmaking depends on your average unit lvl and trophy. And then pray the matchmaking didn't get broken and decided to match you with an opponent with overlevelled units. It happens from time to time. If you plan on being a whale who want to spend without care of real life, you just find a perfect game to throw your money away. I loved the game but the devs ruined it themselves

some people do make intentional disaster saves for him to do such as in "This USSR Disaster needs me to DEFEND MOSCOW!" (because the German AI never does Sealion), the last disaster save was 2 weeks ago, but I think he's doing less of them because he's trying new things like A to Z, challenges like the Stalingrad mod and normal mod playthroughs.

[@kyallokytty]

28:40 in supply deadzones its a good thing to instead of encircling from one side, do a pincer maneuver, doubly so if you're using tanks. tanks without fuel move at 1km/h(infantry moves at 4km/h) so attacking from 2 points mean you're moving without fuel for a lot less distance when I only have very few(1-4) tank divisions I like to do one pincer then once I can't push anymore I pull the tanks back and attack from the other side it's the one advantage of doing offensive infantry divisions with lots of artillery+support companies, your speed isnt affected by lack of fuel

[@efjddu]

uh this was actually my disaster and no it wasent fabricated i got encircled in south africa like they encircle 80 divisons and then us super heavy tanks landed in sicily and i had to pull my army as the garrisons were crushed by their tanks and by the time i arrived they killed my navy slaughtered my airforce and reached that point of land

Best spotting ship against AI is definitely the cruiser submarine hull with spotter planes and radar, I've tested it numerous times, it is worth getting a licence from japan/germany/france/USA (and some other, I forgot) to spot AI navies and basically be invisible. Cruisers get picked up easily and sunk, even when they are fast and set to do not engage. Cruiser subs are also super cheap to make comparatively.

Artillery gets pretty costly if you use it all over the line like that

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

@@Bitt3rSteel Not really. If you have that much artillery you're going to be absolutely demolishing enemy divisions that have no armor (so any infantry division you face). If you are doing that much damage to enemy divisions they never have the chance to do much damage in return. The issue is more that you didn't have control of Italy from the outset so you couldn't prioritize artillery production to that degree. That much soft attack will leave enemy infantry divisions with extremely low strength. I know this because it's one of the main ways to out attrition the Soviet Union by destroying their equipment faster than they can build it as a smaller nation. Just sit on mountain/river line, let the AI attack, and have reserve divisions that you can throw in after you bait the attack. It's easy money.

@@xeon39688 Eh, I prefer 21 width divisions, then 31, then 41 (if possible).

So I'll usually build something like a 7inf/2art/1AA if I don't have tungsten or a 7inf/2art/1AT with aa support if I have the tungsten necessary for that production. Once you get later into the game where you can support higher width divisions both industrially and from a supply standpoint, I'll upgrade it to 31 width or 41 width.
