"Realism" in games is a very subjective term. In my experience, "realism" in a game very much depends on the creators' assumptions and prejudices.

I agree, people see the infantry charging and say: "this is totally not realistic", "infantry don't charge like idiots, they stay far away and shoot, just like the tanks should be doing"

But what they don't realise is that the freeway on which the NATO convoy is is in some kind of trench (lower than the rest of the terrain) so the warsaw pact units HAVE TO come close up to see them and shoot them...

Oh well, I guess this video is very strange and "dividing"
I mean, I know the game and when I saw it I was "Oh yes, great video!!!"
But from other people who don't know the game, there are two reactions:
1) the casual gamer who sees a potentially fun and action packed RTS
2) The herdcore RTS gamer who is dissapointed by the "lack of realism" they see.

Anyhow, it's always the same problem, people judge things (be it games or movies) by it's trailers and not by the game itself, well, until the game is out that is...

Well, different heights get often ignored in games. Even RUSE did it. The only other games I can remember to regard heights was CoH and Total War series.

Well we got one video for the casuals with fast paced awesome gameplay.
Deliver something "more realistic" for our hardcore startegy fans in the warsaw pact trailer and everything will be fine ;)

Totally agree, +1
a simple gameplay video would do the trick I guess :)

The issue the "realism" people will have lies mostly within the effects and models.
Ie modders will need to

I dont really get your point.

The game IS very realistic. Pheraps we all have different definitions of realism, meaning where the border of realism begins and where it ends. However, even if wargame isnt as realistic as you may want it to be, its still the most realistic RTS game so far in my humble opinion. The only other opponent in that category is Man of War and I think W:EE does way more things right than MoW.

And I dont really think that the trailer is displaying W:EE in such a wrong picture.

I just don't like the call of duty level crazyness. Rather have a slow start with the awakening of the soviet Bear and have open battle with flanking long range attack helicopter attacks and infantry advancing under anti aircraft cover.

Don't like how the presented it with a rock papers scissors game play. Rather have a large sophisticated battle than

AMBUSH BOOM TANKS BOOM HELICOPTERS BOOM ANTI AIR BOOM ARTILLERY BOOM.

I want it to show the awesomeness of the beta.

It was quite balanced in that respect. For example aaa with some regular inf support could murder tanks with ease.

I guess that people who played the beta know by now that the game isn't an action game.
I believe we've made a real wargame.

This video is made to attrack more players on the game.
The biggest the community of Wargame will be, the better it will be for the multiplayer mode.
We need to build up all together this community and to make it strong and full of players.

Believe me, this trailer is doing a tremendous job. A lot of potentiel players are interested by the game !

Hello everybody,
A very realistic game but imo need realistic graphics and phisics for missiles. In the other hand refueling and ammo management feature looks awesome
Sorry for my English ;)
