Warts 'n' all Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 It is such a long time since I played this battle. I checked my records and only managed a high casualty Minor Victory as the Germans. Having just fired it up and taken a peek. I would keep your AFVs in the wood with overwatch on the Resupply point and the open ground towards the centre of the map. Hopefully you can take out some enemy before they spot you. Also remember to give your FO a target arc. You don't want any enemy fire on that building. Good Luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yes my FO and HQ died in that bldg more than once lol the shelling starts from the opening move which imo is a bit unfair seeing as we don't get the same option. I tried hiding my armor in the forest but they seem to get knocked out pretty quickly, i must be doing something wrong, maybe i'll come back to that battle a little later after i have a bit more experience, cheers for the help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 It is certainly easier playing as the Russians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JyriErik Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Fired it up and I would agree that "hiding" in the woods is a good start. IIRC, the method I used was jumping from woods to woods, to close in to the objectives, making sure the rush was covered with smoke or the terrain since Russian fire was deadly. Do LOTS of reconnaisance before exposing your armour so you can get fire superiority. Worst thing was the airstrikes that seemd to know the exact location of my troops in the woods while they were hiding. Jyri 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 On the other side of the coin. When I played this as the Russians, the Stuka wasted it's time bombing and strafing my trucks, leaving my tanks free to have a field day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Russian AI was spot on killed most of my armor in my first attempt, thought i could hide my armor at the edge of the woods and try and pick off the Russian armor but they were so accurate they zoned in with just a couple of shots even though i managed to pick off a few i was almost totally wiped out before my reinforcements arrived. After that i was CTD quite a bit not sure if any of the mods are having an impact, i'll try without mods at some point and see how it behaves. Thanks for the reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Mods should NOT have any effect on how the AI behaves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, looks like it was the latest nvidia geforce driver released on the 19th for the 10 series. I visited the Nvidia forums seems like a lot of ppl not happy with that release, rolled the driver back and np now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
