Joining the things i dislike, nah not my style.
also, with the nerfs inc, i think rockets will be just fine. and then i might use em.


I already find tube artillery strong enough, can't agree with a buff for them. rather keep to the original plan of nerfing rockets. just like they are going to do.



Valid tactic, such thing i would like to do. much better then going rockets myself.

Quit talking about "nerfing" and "buffing". This is and should continue to be a realism RTS. If you don't want realism and can't spend the time to play within the confines of the realism there are plenty of other RTS out there that are more rush, turtle, whatever oriented.

This hopefully will be the Arma of RTS, in that the original game is realistic and mods will allow it to be even more realistic. Don't dumb it down to be like every other RTS, or "balance" the sides.

I agree with this. If you watch some high level replays you can see that quite a lot of the better players all play in a pretty similar way: they drive towards the middle of the map as quickly as possible and set up a spread out picket defence with quite a lot of arty behind it, and they wait. The defence on its own won't stop much, but it can snipe recons and slow down the attackers just long enough to hit them with corrected arty which kills off AA, stuns units and usually makes the whole push fall apart pretty quickly. I think arty almost feels more effective when defending rather than attacking. If you're defending you'll probably have supply trucks to tank arty barrages with, which is harder to do when attacking. It can also be harder to get recon on defenders because their own recon will probably be hidden in cover while yours often won't be (it's moving), so it spots you first and then you perhaps get sniped by an ATGM somewhere. This means that often defenders will have an easier time getting corrected barrages on attackers than visa versa. It isn't exactly unbalanced but I think that it's perhaps a shame that arty is more often used to break up attacks than to break up defences for attacks to push through. It can lead to very static games.

On the other hand if arty was less effective when defending those early rushes might be more effective, so it's tricky.

What a crock. this is a table-top wargame cum RTS computer game. Talk about “realism” is retarded. Factions should be balanced regardless of what the milsim crowd want.

Realism in WEE is not retarded, the units caracteristics should be closed as much as possible to the reality because it's the heart of this game, the only things that you could done for the balance is the price and quantity of units.

If you want realism, join the army and risk your very life for crap pay and some rich old people's political success.

I'd rather play toy soldiers over the internet thanks.

Lol...I remember when I was young I used to use stones as art shots at my Airfix German and US toy soldiers that was fun.

If you don't like realism why are you playing to WEE? There is many good other fantasy rts like starcraft or dawn of war.

A realistic RTS must find the good balance between realism and gameplay but never against the realism.

No balance?

Lets say you was lead game dev for this game.You want total realism. You make it realistic and have "push button recieve nukes"

GG you just bankrupted Eugen.

You make it so that it each battle takes weeks or months but theres only fighting for maybe an hour at a time.

GG you just bankrupted Eugen.

You make it even easier for Infantry to get rinsed by absolutely anything. Nobody takes infantry.

GG you just bankrupted Eugen.

You make artillery as powerful as it is IRL.

GG you just bankrupted Eugen.

I could go on.


I like a game to be couched in realism but its impossible but having fun should be the order of the day.

you want it to be realistic, well real war aint fun. so basically if you have fun in ww : ee, your not being realistic. realism is cool, but secondary. this game is adverted as a rts, not a war simulation. hence that a simulation cant be a game at the same time.

not even talking about jets not being ingame, while im pretty sure they exist, just like nuclear weapons
