Game is frustrating, somewhat annoying.

[SpencerK]

Warning - childish rant..


I am baffled at how hard this game is - it goes past making it challenging, to the point of just plain annoying. What was the point of making this game so hard? To push not so good players away? To appeal to only the RTS elite?

The second mission whereby you have to defend against the attack while they load the train is probably the most annoying, frustrating, level I have ever played. I have tried to do this 10 times, yes 10 times.. Nope, always get to about 98, 99 - bang over run with 1000000s of mobs - there is just no chance I can do this. Why on earth does it take so long to fill the train?! .. Its just annoying...

I feel like snapping the CD to be honest.. lol..

And after that rant, I now feel .... Ashamed..

I'm going to find a level cheat, just for that particular scenario me thinks..

I like it hard. But I don't like the relatively SMALL scale battles. I want bigger! Much bigger, so that my kill death ratio isn't so hot.

This is one of the most fun levels in the game. It took me about 15 tries before I beat it for the first time.

This game is hard but you just gotta change your tactics and save often. That Evacuation map you should place your guys not in the factory but keep them in the parking lot behind them, where those Zis 5 trucks are sitting, barricade that area. Also, in the center there is ammo and such, load up on Molotovs and grenades to take care of the tanks, its those that really makes the mission a bee-yotch. As for your BT7's...I got nothing, I put them anywhere they die....The T34, keep it in the center, behind cover, right where the Machinegunner is and use it only as a last resort. Just like Alexey says right at first....do not use it like its invincible sitting it out as an island....it dies, often. You just gotta think completly defensive on quite a few of the missions, they are hard as hell but managable. I got my ass kicked atleast 3 times before I figured it out and held them back and they didnt even advance past the factories or office buildings. The T34, you play with that in Direct Control mode and pop it out, take a shot, retreat, reload, and kinda use your tank like a bop the mole game, hoping the German Tanks dont bop ya...Also, aim for turrets, if you take out a turret, it disables the tank and allows u to capture it. Draw the enemy tanks in closer then hit the turret so you cn capture them. It makes life ALOT easier. When I finally won the battle I had like 4 or 5 captured Panzers lol. Also, Direct Control mode is in fact your base friend in this game, use it to drive your tanks and sometimes throw grendes and such...

[Korsakov829]

My strategy is defending by offending. I place ALL troops where the enemy spawns. I put my tanks inside the office building and AT guns beside it. Everything else I moved up. Same strategy for Sevastopol.

Lol Give yourself alot of tanks...hahah thats great =D

[Korsakov829]

The only thing I would do with that mission is increase the ammo of the infantry. Seriously, I barely had enough to clear the first trench.

I have spent 10 times (restarts) on tackling just one objective so don't feel bad. And if you want insanely difficult, try playing on the Hard level.
