Main problem of this game is not op p2w players or weapons too unbalanced watsoever…
Two main problems i see in matches
nobody covers/ attacks from flanks
nobody builds rally
Majority of complaints and demands related to them do come from these two problems.
The root cause: lack of retention like enlightened enlisted pointed out.
This game is relatively new and playerbase hasnt ripened enough yet.
Most of the palyer are young/ teenage newbies. Come from bf/cod like more arcady games, saw the game somwhere its a free and rushed.
They dont zergrush when they have to, they rush when they should cover the flanks/point.
I have always enjoyed and farmed way more xps in close win/defeats in any campaigns than steamrolling quick vitories/defeats. Defeat is not problem if game was challenging. But losing because of braindead team is the real pain
I played a lot rising strom back then and playing with japanese didnt felt like unfair because players on both sides were good. Without smg spams and prototype jap weapons
Well I am new to this game too, indeed and I watched a lot of videos on YT the last couple of days and the first thing I have learned was get yourself an engineer and build rally points like hell and so did I. The second thing was, I changed the “mark the enemy” button from V to left click so every time I pull the trigger a marking is set.
Flanking… a good point! The maps are, Tunesia exceptet, are too small to flank in a useful way so we can try, but it don’t have the success it would have, it the map would be some bigger.
Yeah, but it’s actually a lot easier to flank in the pacific campaign due to increased grey zones.
happens if players are new, full marshall team 80% of the time has mountains of rallies built
Agree, when I play with a lot of marshalls I almost feel relieved at the beginning of the match convinced that there is not gonna be a problem with rally points.
Maybe the main reason for lack of strategic play is the game itself. Very fast paced, arcade like and various choice of vehicle. You can’t build Rally points while blasting away in a Tank and achieving a high kill ration. Can’t build Rally points while hiding away sniping and avoid getting killed. Pretty difficult building Rally Points while flying a plane
I think Pacific is teaching us that with the advent of larger Maps, more flanking is very much a possibility.
In the city streets of Berlin, Stalingrad ect it is very linear where the enemy is going to come from, so you can set yourself up accordingly. To break a defense on those maps it takes combined arms, smoke, and High Explsosives.
Tunisia does allow for some flank attacks but its a Desert with lots of open spaces, so doing that has a high attrition rate as you fight to the point. Pacific though, you are under threat from 200 degrees on the Compass.
Hell I killed 2 squads that got in behind our Main line of resistance. You have to be so fluid and moving to keep the point secure.
It makes me hope for larger maps and more TLC on the old Camapigns. It would be so much fun and breathe new life into it.
