What happens when you have stg 44 what happens if you dont Yea i think ill take the stg. (no the M1 Garand doesnt do better)

Nice scenario. Its quite incredible just how bad visibility is in this one. Ive had several instances where squads literally walked into each other before seeing anything resulting in heavy casualties to whoever spotted the opponent a second later. I didnt get the farm objective because there is a single guy just casually sitting in the middle of my men and they had no idea. I was certain the zone was clear but it ended up not being the case. I never even kew there was a second at gun until i read the forum posts after the battle and went back to look for it on the end screen. Turns out i had hit it perfectly with area fire because i expected a mg there. I disagree with this asessment. The Stgs are a significant step up in firepower and vital to a successful mission unless you play very gamey and simply shoot every single piece of decent cover with stugs before moving anywhere close. The americans only apear to have similar firepower because the visibility in this scenario means they almost always get the first shots in against moving oponents in the open at close range.

all trees id show you a screenshot but its from a HvH game that is still running and gives away too much information but as soon as its finished ill post it.

Agred but with trees it isnt the case no matter how you look at them.

To elaborate the issue is that individual trees sometimes matter for example for attack ground targets and for actually shooting through. this leads to the situations i made clips of where aparently there is clear line of fire but my shot gets intercepted by something but the return shot doesnt. especially noticable in the first one where a 90mm ap shot gets absorbed but the return 105mm heat shot works just fine.

As far as i can tell Its a simple save roll if your vehicle is near trees hence magic.

Its quite simple: trees are not to be trusted in this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAhr14xdKGc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6ygw270QIk Trees are simply magic.

Tbh i think that asessment is entirely wrong. If you want to specify englishj speaking market i would agree. The problem is that in europe the age group 50+ doesnt really speak that much english so if a game isnt translated it wont be picked up.

Being now finally able to look at the map, mission and troops im just confused. Am i supposed to follow the mission laid out in the briefing hoping the designers put victory points in locations that match my plan or simply try to guess what the designer thinks i should do?

Well i did see your post when i was about to make one myself so it worked out quite nicely.

Hopefully quite badly

IRL that target fixation works both ways though. if your opponent has a trench 10m next to the building your men might not even notice the fire is coming from the trench and not the house. Also this focus on certain places can be done with target arcs ingame.

Ive tried that in my first playthrough and it didnt work. their tanks simply drove through them.

Problem is that if you apply maximum force each time you will run out of ammo half way through the misssion. On top of that to apply that force you have to first find your opponent and that is the point where the majority of the losses will occur.
