Why do the Americans not have Wolverines, or a Jackson? They could use some better antitank.

>>173736401
US doctrine at the time made tank destroyer units different divisions. Hopefully they add more divisions soon, or they can kiss all this new game zeitgeist goodbye.

>>173736401
Jacksons didn't arive in Europe till October '44.

Anyone have any translations for the German lines?

Pretty sure they can. Personally, I use mortars to support leg infantry, putting them a couple hundred meters behind them and move them up together. Other arty, I just spread them out waaaay behind and hammer problem areas.

How micro intensive is SD? I really like the look of it but I have the reactions of a mongoloid and my brain explodes if there's too much going on too fast. I'm more used to combat missions type speed.

>try to play a game of RD

thanks eugen

>>173768687
I'm really shit at micro too, and it's not too bad. it's easier than wargame in any case, as you don't usually have to fuck around with turning off infantry MGs or radars.

it gets easier with more players I think, since you're watching a smaller area than in a 1v1.

>>173768687
much more micro heavy than wargame imho

>>173769358
That's what I was hoping, the videos I've seen do look to be slower pace and less units which is a plus for me. I just bought the game anyway so guess I'll see for myself if my brain melts. At least you can actually (basically) pause the game against the ai this time round.

>>173773259
I use them, yeah. really good AoE suppression plus pretty good damage, like one of the better MLRS from RD.

luftlande getting a 210mm spotter in A is actually pretty good; if you're in a team game and aim it well, you can really fuck up the opening blob of the guy across from you and take the town or wherever you're going.

>>173773259

Yeah, the real reason /wgg/ died was because some intensely autistic shitposting drove everyone off. I'm including the idiotic purity testing some people tried to institute in a dying thread via aggressive shitposting.

>>173772548
Explain your ALB purism to me. I don't get it, but it might be because I haven't played it myself. Do you miss the tomcat circles? The atgm spam? Playing mixed blue forever?

What's up with people choosing not to advance onto the middle of the map and instead sit pretty far back and then call in massive amount of air and a few "heavy tanks" to defend the last bit of territory. I mean they still lose so it's a weird strategy.

>Real-world Tactics: Battles rage over three distinct phases, where different units unlock over time, mimicking the movements of real-world armies and adding variety to the ever-changing theatre of war. A dynamic front line illustrates the ebb and flow of the conflict. Pin down your opponent's infantry to gain the advantage and force a retreat, or push through with a perfectly executed plan.

So is actual WW2 tactics usable in steel division, or is it all 1 über tank going around making common tanks like Sherman 75 and Panzer 4 Irrelevant?

if they leave in the first 5 min, nothing was lost, rehost

if they leave midgame, take it as a loss for your team due to rout, leave - it only happens in half-lost games anyway

So what's the time and point limit that's most fair to both early game and late-game divisions? I find the default 2000 point limit too punishing for the armored divisions, the inf guys usually get too much of a lead before phase C.

>>173787367
no, it's pretty disgusting, and literally everyone with a brainstem is confused as to how anyone thought putting a phase C allied tank in a german deck's phase A was a good idea

>>173790778
>if they leave midgame, take it as a loss for your team due to rout
What this is not a roleplaying game
>if they leave in the first 5 min, nothing was lost, rehost

>it only happens in half-lost games anyway
Quits after first 10 minutes happen very rarely, its the people that quit before that time because their super-duper starter gimmick didn't work who are the cancer. If I have waited 10 minutes in the lobby, then played for antoher +5-10min and motherfucking 2-3 people leave they deserve to be punished.

>>173791279
In my first and only game it ended in a minor defeat, and only because of the fucking firefly

>>173791283
>Yes it was, my and other people time
generally when someone quits early, if you type "rehost?" before leaving, everyone will bail with you and you'll find yourself in an instantly filled lobby with the same people except for the quitter

Fun's over.

>>173791964
That was quick

>>173791392
yeah, playing against a competent 12. SS basically turns into "kill the firefly right away or you're fucked." that is, you can lose immediately to a single unit in phase A, from an armored deck that is supposed to be weak in phase A. not to mention the star unit that you see in every match with this german division is a british tank.

and madmat was combative toward people calling it completely fucking nonsensical in the closed beta forums, saying they "playtested it and you can sometimes scare it away after it eats half your opener so it's okay honhon"

they came up with a cool and sensible phase mechanic and then instantly shat all over it.

>>173792473
So Eugen fucked it already basically?

>>173791825
the playerbase is not large enough for actual match making

>>173792473
I remember seeing the phase mechanic suggested in the old /wgg/ as a way to make spec decks viable. Like, keep the massive weakness of moto, but let them play to their strengths longer by having an artificial recon phase at the start of the match.

Very surprising that their practical implementation ends with armored decks being strong earlygame and an infantry deck playing defense until lategame at which point it annihilates with unkillable jagdpanthers

Business Idea

Make the Firefly phase C

>>173793031
only if we get a tiger in phase A

>>173792642
Who knows what the balance will be like as we get closer to release. Speaking in absolutes about the balance is fucking stupid right now because most of the divisions aren't even in the game. For all we know there might be even more retarded shit coming. If they're smart they'll also not do any balancing until release.

>>173793031

phase B would be fine, by then the inf divisions should have a few AT gun killzones set up in preparation for tanks anyway.

>>173792473
desu we have only seen 6 divisions and haven't seen what other divisons have in offer, also firefly isn't that good in 1v1 because it's 200 points.

Like, I don't think I have any objections to some divisions basically being balanced as counters to other divisions, it would be a way to represent the fact some of the divisions fought each other several times in Normandy and because proper rivals, like the 3rd Canadian and the 12th SS. Wouldn't be surprised if they gave 12th SS a firefly in A to deal with some OP shit the Canucks can pull.

>>173792764
Armored decks arent strong earlygame tho, except for the 3rd maybe. Taking the fly takes 200 of your 500 points, which is a fuckton when your inf is costly as hell.

>>173794010

Were captured units not sent in the first waves during the war? It would make sense to have them be used for recon and such if they're less likely to be shot by the enemy and more likely to be shot by your own side.

I don't know what the doctrine policy was towards them. The phase system isn't about representing which units are the fastest to arrive on the battlefield, they represent which units were sent as advance parties and which were kept in reserve.

>>173794098
Jacksons didnt the reach the front until October 44.

Allycucks btfo.

>>173794098

m36 is still cash though

>>173793576
The firefly was captured and used by the recon battalion of the 12th SS, that's the justification given by Eugen. 15th gets AVRE and Crocodile in phase 2 as well, and they are cheaper.

>>173794145
The problem is how good the firefly is for the entire game, it can solo the entire line up of a 3rd Armored player in phase A and with the fact the 12th gets better income than the 3rd Armored until phase C where then they can get panthers which will shit on any tanks the 3rd Armored can get.

>>173794413
Fucking phase A I mean.

>>173793961
>I don't play 1v1 so no one does
lol. Firefly isn't good in 2v2 either because you don't want 1/5 of your points going to one vehicle at the start that can be countered by a 40 point AT gun

>>173794010
Yes it does captured enemy vehicles would be the first ones to go because they have much higher chance at being shot by friendly fire.

>>173794332
plus you'd want to give them the most dangerous roles when you can't maintain them anyway

>>173794719
>would the M18 completely destroy the game's balance?
no, because the game actively discourages flanking and ambushes

as is, you'll flank that tiger, miss your 16% chance to hit the first shot, and then it'll turn its front armor towards you and it'll be a giant waste of fucking time

MoW games that arent from teamspeak fucking shits when?

I really think they should add a "first shot" accuracy bonus on a target that doesn't see the shooter, it would make AT gun ambushes alot deadlier. IIRC most shermans were knocked out by AT gun ambushes instead of tank combat.

Also
>sherman don't get a indirect fire ability
this is bullshit, they were historically used as impromptu artillery guns

I wonder who this one salty retard is who keeps getting btfo in MOWAS and keeps coming here to complain.

what about the unit that it was engaging before? or are you talking about an ambush rather than a flank.

>>173723550
>https://pastebin.com/cgWbuPSS
This shit is a virus, fuck that anon from last thread and remove this garbage from the OP

>>173798946
it's still a flank if the target isn't attacking something else

>>173799190
pretty sure the whole point of flanking is to make the enemy concentrate their firepower on one side while attacking from the side as well for pressure. if you're just attacking someone who's not looking at you it's just an ambush or a fortunate attack and then it turns into a normal engagement if it developes.

>>173799614
a flank is literally just an attack from the side, whether it is currently engaged or not, and whether it can see your flanking unit or not

>enemy tank is facing toward your likely attack direction
>quickly move around the side out of its line of sight, then shoot it before it can reorient
this is, by definition, a flank

is this really a difficult concept

Anyone else thinks that the line of sight overlay alone makes sd way more playable than all the wargames? Like 90% of the gameplay in these games is about abusing los so your shooty thing can shoot at their thing, but their counter thing just barely can't shoot back, it's really nice to not just plan your moves around vague assumptions about los.

I want to desperately play Steel Division but my Paradox hate is just too strong. Why aren't Eugen self publishing like they did with the Wargame series? I suppose it's a moot point, regardless.

Bingo. I'm convinced there's going to be a deluge of the shit for Steel Division, and that the paid DLC for Red Dragon was a tester to see if the Eugen community would lose their minds.

I had no issue with the nation packs for Red Dragon btw. Although adding them to the menus before you've downloaded the DLC was pretty cheeky.

>>173806223
About DLC, when searching for SD on steamcharts a certain German Historical Content Pack also shows up.
Could it be a DLC in the works?

>>173806223
I'm fine with DLC only if they add some new fucking maps along with new divisions.

Lack of new maps strangulated ALB and RD's post-launch.

>>173806223
I'm okay with DLC. I know they'll probably get jewy with it, but it also obviously means more content, and there's a lot of ground they could cover with ww2.

>>173806932
Its the cosmetic pre order shit

>>173806932
No, that's just a content patch that un-cucks the German insignias and emblems. Game had to be de-Nazified to conform with German (((law))), but Eugen gave the rest of us the historically accurate stuff as that content pach, so you can opt in and out.

>>173806932

Maybe. But they've already got pre-order and "delux" (see full) editions of the game. Stratification of the audience from launch, pre-launch even, is just detestable to me, and the people who pardon Paradox because they make "niche" games just boggle my mind.

>>173807341

>>173807334

The delux crap just adds a randomized skin/name instance for certain units ingame.

IMO the last niche game Paracucks made was Victoria II, from there on its reddit tier casual games.
Probably the best thing to do is to look at the amount of DLC Cities Skylines has.
I dont care about DLC as long as they dont give an unfair advantage since I dont plan on buyin them

>>173799182
What happened? Downloaded it but never used it, though I used another anon's download for Mius Front that isn't listed there.

>>173807763
Victoria II was amazing but I tried to go back to it recently and my god it hasn't aged well. It feels so clunky.

DLC predictions everyone?

The obvious ones are payware divisions, I'm guessing the the US 1st Infantry (big red one) and the 2nd SS Panzer (das reich). Both famous, both at Normandy, both massive b8 for fanboys.

After that a cool expansion could be Steel Division: Bagration 44. But you'd struggle to get many more than 4 different Russian divisions, they were pretty uniform.

Either way I hope they don't ditch the game and make sequel like they did with ALB and RD, I don't want to lose access to loads of maps for no reason. Standalone expansions are the way to go.

Depends which nation you play. The Brits can be a bit of a slog if you don't like spending 80% of your time autistically shuffling and managing all your different colonial postings and whatnot, but the smaller Global Powers (Germany, France) are more managable and the local powers (USA, Japan, Italy, etc.) have very little of that as they don't have many colonial stations to faff about with.

Aside from that if you can handle DF you'll have zero problems with RtW.
