markshot Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Myself I only play WEGO, and could only see RTS for tiny scenarios. I believe the designers are designing for WEGO, and you will be torn to piece if you try something sizeable as RTS. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdeath Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I only use real time when I test stuff sometimes. Otherwise it's WEGO (tiny or huge) as I like to rewind and look at all the action going on  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Yes, I find that so many battles evolve into connected, but separate stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckdyke Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 WEGO sometimes RTS by mistake and then I have a WTF moment think it is a bug. WEGO You can literally put you in the shoes of every individual trooper and make decisions and gather every tiny but important intel. I play on Iron, sub machinegun and binoculars it is possibly a recon unit (as an example). Possibly but not sure for hundred percent.  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Do you limit your situational awareness to only the 1 and 2 keys? (myself, I play on warrior) If I spot an enemy unit unlikely to move like HMG, ATG, ... Since I have no map to mark it, I will just take screenshot of the spotting. Maybe later hit it with some HE whether I have a contact or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have vertical and horizontal communication. You must make sure your unit is in communication with its HQ eventually the contact will be transmitted through it hierarchy. It is what makes playing Soviet in F&R the challenge. Example a tank rider unit. We don't want a valuable IS2 destroyed. We send a tank rider squad ahead, scout and his squad leaders' team. They spot armor now, they need to make their way back to their AFV. Upon mounting or standing next to the AFV (unbuttoned) their contact will be shared with their AFV. The AFV (with radio) will share the contact with his HQ. Your method will occur losses (my opinion) The unit with the contact is likely to score a hit before a unit without it. Spoiler (Seelow scenario) The squad has binoculars here is what they see. As they have been spotted by infantry the German armor is unaware. But is their infantry nearby? Edited May 12, 2021 by chuckdyke 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It functions as an AAR. I do it with photo processing software. That way I know the next day where I left the battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's HQ in the game can call in air support and artillery. The C2 is the queen if you use Chess as an analogy. It enables units to strike anywhere on the battlefield. Using your PC as the C2 is well in my opinion kidding yourself. Kind regards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
