gently caress, is there a faster way to get to level 5 so I can join the war already because playing the same 3 maps over and over again gets boring real fast.

Gerbil_Pen posted:XP Boost or Vet membership. As your team pushes forward though the line, you'll run into an enemy advance. Everyone will rush out of the capped objective because that's what people do. You stay in the corner and wait for the enemy. If you hide well enough, you can kill enough people to dominate the scoreboard for the rest of the game. If you are a new player with no smg, use grenades. Pick up enemy weapons and continue killing. When you get killed and respawn, do not assault the next objective, go back to the contested one. You will be rolling in EXP, I promise This works exceptionally well in the skirmish maps, 2 out of 3 caps are open ground, so you don't need to be inside the objective to clear it from attackers.

Does anyone here "play" the RTS side? I must know for I have questions. For example, is there any reason to deploy medium armor over TDs, when TDs require half the command points and are roughly the same WF to spawn? Also, it seems paras and planes are boned in the new morale system, so no point in deploying them either? Finally, I've spent something like 500,000 WF grabbing guards and light tanks so I can avoid the morale timer they decided to add on top of the queue.

I've stopped playing the RTS map after my tier3 assault team got reassigned to a different character after the latest patch. Multiple tickets went unanswered. The morale system sucks hairy cocks, and I can't figure out how it works. I moved my plane squad 3 times, they are at full morale. Move them into the battle, suddenly 0 morale. Like, not even a chance to fight and get killed. It simply vanishes at random. After multiple attempts I just gave up. If you want fast credits, have multiple infantry units. Don't buy upgrades, don't use perishable items other than maybe grenades. Switch units every 10 minutes in the battle, enjoy multiple payouts in the end.

I have since found out paras and plane ATs are bugged... after 1 or 2 combats, they will automatically go to 0 morale.

Trying this game out because I miss decent WWII games and while it is pretty fun I am shocked at how incredibly blind so much of the playerbase is. It may just be my reflexes from RO2, but running up to a objective to mindlessly stare at it, standing straight up in an open field, is not the greatest tactic in the world.

But that's in staged matches. Go play war battles against Germany, and feel the pain. The German faction has the most amount of people playing, and many are seasoned veterans. People are seriously communicating, sometimes over teamspeak. The war chat is very much alive... and full of actual nazis.

The German faction has the worst teamchat, no question. Always whining about Reto not adding Überpanzer 12 that only saw service in may of '44 in some SS regiment in garrison duty while whining about the PPSh/modded Thompson being able to beat the MG42 and the STG in CQC every once in a while.

You should have several soldiers for both extra income and being able to have a tool for every job you might encounter. Have at least 3 regular soldiers filling different roles of infantry, then start grinding/buying specialists.

Get on mumble, I can run you though some basics. Triple A posted:You should have several soldiers for both extra income and being able to have a tool for every job you might encounter. 1. Tank buster soldier: Equip him with mines/bazooka, grenades and basic weapon with minimum ammo. Dynamite Lover and Hoarder badges will let you equip more explosives. This will be your tanker/pilot/whatever. Get jeep with panzerfaust and drive it often to unlock a wrench and pistol. You're not shooting enemies, you're blowing them to bits. 2. SMG fountain of death soldier. Turn him into a paratrooper later. Excellent at building clearing and defending objectives. Use a Heavy Set badge to survive longer. 3. Rifleman for long engagements, that will be your recon/sniper later. Great for open spaces. You can switch them instantly when you die, make sure each soldier logs 10 min in the game, it will tripple your cash reward. On 3 way maps, I've walked away with 25,000 per match.

You grind skills for top guns then need poo poo-tier soldiers to continue playing without losing thousands of credits. Also, you need to grind the lovely soldiers to high rank for a good hourly wage. This is a special kind of game where the devs discourage playing... Just look at the war map queues.

Perhaps I am just spoiled by Red Orchestra but I am surprised that the kar98 is still a 3-hit kill despite being bolt action. Normally they kinda compensate for that with increased damage. I get that you can mod it for OHK but that doesn't help much trying to level it E. Bought some gold because I liked the game and ended up splurging on Airborne. Man Nitrox was right, this is a pain in the rear end. Once I got a level five it started matching everyone I have with high level people, and leveling the airborne guy is a pain with just a rifle.

Ok, so what's up with the missing Mumble part for this game, there just isn't any Heroes and Generals listed there anywhere. I really can't play this game without goons backing me up, these pubbies are infuriating to the max in how BAD they are at keeping locations.

I heard the patch might drop this week. I hope they activate more than one war at a time... The queues are silly. Better yet, they really need a "test war server" where they can more agressively test their resource system ... This would also give people a chance to avoid the horrid queues. But, I guess all battles would auto-resolve, so maybe it's a bad idea... I don't know. Weren't they planning on making resource replenishment rates based on territory control or something? e: who am I kidding we're likely just getting skins and guns.
