Which Wargame installment would be the best if I was looking to play single player? AirLand Battle?

Michaellaneous posted:There is a good goonmade LP about it. It is linked on the OP. Check it out and see if you like it. Requires archives, but I have seen LPs of European Escalation and I think I'd like it. At this point should a person just stick with the latest installment or is there a reason to buy the first two?

Elukka posted:Forest combat was about using infantry as spotters for flame tanks. All HEAT warheads had mad AP; a Konkurs was basically a Hellfire and all RPGs were AP 20-22 by current numbers. I'm playing EE for the first time and it is wonderful. It's what I hoped World in Conflict was going to be. Runs great on a 6 year old PC, too.

I like World in Conflict too, but multiplayer tended to get a little hectic for me. The campaign was great, though.

Am I wrong to assume that EE is more of a sim while Red Dragon is more arcadey for the sake of gameplay?

Yeah, is this what several of you guys were talking about? I've had a few tough missions before this in the first Soviet campaign, but this is above and beyond. I understand that anti-tank missiles should destroy tanks in real life, but for the sake of game balance it just seems like a bad decision to have missiles that one shot most tanks consistently.

StashAugustine posted:Against humans you can use smoke, misdirection, and concealment as well as either shelling the ATGMs or bypassing the area completely. No idea if this works in the campaign though. Smoke in EE? But yes, most of the problems I am having arise from the fact I'm playing single player. I'll shut up if you guys want to keep the thread strictly Red Dragon. I'm just waiting for the next sale to pick it up.

I finally bought Red Dragon on sale as well. Is there no way to play the Air Land Battle maps in Red Dragon? Is there a way to do that, or is there some reason Eugen isn't porting the maps over?

Cream_Filling posted:I had trouble handling WG:EE because there was just too much stuff happening at once and there was no pause button even in single player. Have any of these things been fixed? Because I'm having trouble imagining how I'm supposed to manage air + sea units on top of just driving my tanks around. It might be an unpopular opinion, but I like European Escalation the most. The campaign was decent (to a point), and the atmosphere was perfect. My only complaint is that you need to unlock units with command stars. Pain in the rear end.

Can finally do poo poo like get rid/change the Tor's and T80's in the Chinese campaign in like... 5 minutes. Used to take loving forever to search and find the proper stuff! Do you have a link? I kind of wanted to play that campaign but when I heard about all of the ridiculous toys the Soviets had I said forget it.

Shanakin posted:Just be aware that the multiplayer focused balance patches for EE had a detrimental effect on the balance of the campaigns, although the last one is apparently still good. EE's campaigns remind me of classic RTS campaigns like age of empires etc where you start off with given units and a set piece battle and maybe have some interesting and unique objectives beyond just kill lots of stuff. I didn't play EE until this past August, but it was still a good experience. I regret purchasing ALB and RD, though. Online isn't my thing to begin with, and the community of these games is awful.

I just got an e-mail from Eugen, and I thought this comment at the end was a nice contrast to the NDA that Relic has for Company of Heroes 2.quote:Testers are at liberty to discuss the game publicly, take pictures or record/stream games, under the condition that such material must contain a mention stating that the content was tested/recorded on a non-final version.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:European Escalation campaigns were pretty fun. Last summer I managed to make it all the way to the Warlord campaign before I lost interest. The campaigns are still playable if you use an extremely methodical play style, which I kind of enjoyed.

Worst part of RD is the palette that they have to use for the maps. I much prefer the assets used in EE and AB. Hopefully the next Wargame goes back to Europe.

Elukka posted:I think it makes sense for them to at least take a break now. I like Red Dragon a lot, but there's not a whole bunch more they could do by expanding the same formula anymore. I hope whenever they're done with the Act of War thing they do a Wargame 2, a real ground up sequel rather than a standalone expansion, and go Cold War again. So many games are WW2 by default and I like the 80's period much better. 1945-1980 would be my ideal time period. I would say 1975, but 1980 would allow them to sneak in the first variants of NATO heavies like the M1, Leopard 2, and Challenger 1. Improve the AI, make a dynamic campaign encompassing all of Europe, and I would fork over big bucks. And do not let obnoxious fanboys within the development team or elsewhere inflate the stats of their favorite Wunderwaffen.

Alchenar posted:I'm not even kidding they should make it a MOBA. Use the maps and control zones and throw in a ton of AI units streaming in from the reinforce points and then give each player their own unit selection to add to the battle with. Dumbest thing I've ever heard.

gfanikf posted:Are people still playing the game online? I typically only do single player, but I've just gotten so addicted to Wargame ALB after finally playing it after an old steam sale, but I think it has Iike 70 people playing it online. I also figure that RD has a lot more improvement as ALB did over EE. Just wanted to know if the game is at the end of its life cycle? I'll probably just play single, but if goons are playing mp I might give that a try too. I still play skirmish quite often. With Custard on the Uralgraznomod team, is there any way I can make a skin request? His work is great, and I really like the Russian T-72 skin he made for the previous release. Specifically, I was wondering if he could transfer his Kfpz T-72 skin to the Kfpz T-72M and M1. Something like this.  Just add the black mudflaps. I'd do it myself, but I don't have photoshop.

MrYenko posted:When I first played EE, the very first tutorial map, all I could think about was that if Eugen ever released a full set of modding tools, Steel Panthers might finally be obsoleted. The bones are there to make an absolutely awe-inspiring company to maybe battalion sized war game, but Eugen hasn't released tools, and can't seem to actually grasp what they have. The lack of modding tools is a loving travesty.

Hazamuth posted:Had a few Cat C only matches with friends and it was the most fun I've had with the game in a while. The combination of new maps and no prototypes made for actually quite engaging matches. Then I realized that it was pretty much the ALB experience. Yup, that era is my favorite as well. Less sniping, less BS.

DeliciousPatriotism posted:So I'm curious If you are the kind of person who spent their childhood reading Jane's books and checked Soviet Military Power out from the library countless times, this game is worth $45. I primarily play single player skirmish, but I prefer the EE single player. The single player in the last two establishments have been disappointing in my opinion.

Following up on the sequel discussion, I would like to see a return to the 1960s/70s/early 80s, along with a dynamic campaign encompassing all of Europe. They don't even have to get super fancy, just expand the ALB campaign to include the entire continent. That, and force planes to target an enemy's last known location if they lose sight en route. I'd be really disappointed if the sequel was restricted to the Middle East. They can tack that onto an expansion.

I voted for Finland, but yeah I'd be fine with Yugoslavia. REDFOR needs to be padded out somehow. Could always include all of the smaller Warsaw Pact nations, but I imagine the voice acting is the most expensive part of these packs.
