This game could be great for me but..

Change the move-mode to hold,its that arrow in unit desc.This way your units will no matter what stay in that position(they will move ONLY if a tank tryes to run them over and this happens rarley).

And with the tanks,thers AI changes HE-AP shell.Go to direct controrl if you want to control them.

how do you see inside of buildings when your units are in them? how do you go to the upper floors?

Some buildings you can put your guys at the windows, like towers, and certain trees. When they go into a two story building if you zoom in on your guy the building goes transparent. There are certain buildings with stairs that you can get to the second floor but very few.

Buildings are weird in this game, some go transparent others dont. Its kinda annoying moving around in cities and what not, also fighting inside buildings is a joke. I have fought in cities a time or two and the one attacking into the building loses every time, so yeah. Also, the random AI is my problem also. The random strolling is mostly taken care of by setting all units to the "Hold Position" stance or w/e its called but another and big problem I have noticed in this game is how you order a squad or so to attack a guy behind a sandbag and they sit there acting as if they dont have a clear line of sight to your intended target meanwhile the very guy who you want to kill is killing your men. Also, sometimes your guys will run in front of other troops and stand there after u tell them to attack the soldier from the other side of the house, prior to moving aroud it. Also, Top AA Tank Machinegunners, these guys are blind as well, they do pretty much the same thing. See a guy run up to the tank and sit there while the tank gets a 'nade up the tail pipe. So dont worry Ace your troubles w/ stupid AI are just beginning =P You'll prolly also find out if u havent already that when you select the squad leader in a squad (guy w/ yellow triangle under him) you move him u move the entire squad. Also, sometime you will try to move a squad and half of them wont move. So yeah, when u want to move single men, hit "K" and break up the squad first.....its easier that way.

Yep,AI is pretty bad in this game...
Thats why i use direct control often.

There are also some scripted sequences where your guys, even though they are set to "do not move" mode, will charge to some location. For example, in the first German mission, this happens a couple of times. Just band select everyone and hit S (for stop) on the keyboard.

Sadly, this is one of the most annoying bugs in the game. Tanks often ignore other tanks strolling around them and engage some unimportant infantry. The only fix is to manually give each tank an enemy tank as target. Pause the game, give orders, then resume it. This is how I play it. Direct fire control only works if you have just one tank to worry about.

Another feature that I find missing is the ability to set the main gun to "hold fire", while allowing the MGs to fire.
