My pixel Brits get mowed down like butter.

Again it has NOTHING to do with tactics.

In short:

Point 1:

When the game was released, it was released with a bug that I have proven in another thread which caused your units to get cut down in seconds. Because I was playing with Brits, I thought it may have just been an issue with them.

Point 2:

When things went bad (yes poor tactics) I noticed entire sections either going red or brown. I also noticed that the Brits seemed to go red or brown in a lot more circumstances compared to U.S. troops. Just to see if it was an engine tweak overall, I loaded up the U.S. and had a play and everything normal there under similar circumstances.

c3k has started a thread on the matter of Pioneers who he feels are unarmored, which follow on from my impressions, and he is running up some tests.

It's not about bad tactics, its not about wanting the game to be easier, its not about super hero british soldiers.

I am not calling the game unrealistic. How someone can gather that from my post where I called it one of the most realistic modern war sims on the market just goes to show the lack of reading comprehension that goes on. What I DONT want however is unrealistic things slipping in the game that help ruin the suspension of disbelief. (Such as the rooftop bug where your entire squad is gone in seconds). If I wanted guys to be wiped out in seconds by super human soldiers I'd go play FPS games.
