I've beaten all story missions and i own every dlc, this game is just a big sandbox with the dlcs, but the vanilla part is just as good, if you're wanting the best ww2 RTS game out there, call to arms ostfront is for you
i'm still stuck on the very last finnish mission and most of the soviet missions. the finnish mission because it is SO fucking hard (on heroic anyway) and the soviet ones because it's the weakest campaign imo. strongest campaign was definitely the german one, the last stand missions toward the end as the war becomes hopeless were really really fun and engaging. US campaign also deserves and honourable mention i really enjoyed that one too
I really just want a game that merges Arma 3 with Gates of Hell. Take Arma 3's UI and gameplay and pair it with GoH's AI and sheer amount of content and... Boom. Oh, and Arma's maps are preferable. Of course.
@@stevenshoemaker8326 oh yeah no i never did i kind of pushed that mission out of my brain bceause i almost lost my mind trying to do it on hardcore, i even tried to cheese it by putting tank traps from 1 side of the map to the other at the end. nothing worked
Comparing it to toy soldiers is pretty accurate. That's exactly the feeling I get when playing GoH. Like playing with little green soldier figures and tanks out in the dirt
One cool neet detail that I didn't see you mention is that infantry will share supplies. example: If you add a medic to an infantry unit, they will share bandages and pretty much double bandage supply Infantry units will share ammo, if one rifleman runs out of ammo then another will share it to them. This makes it crucial for MG Ammo Bearers to stay alive as the MG Operator cannot hold a lot of ammo on his own
You should really give the "multiplayer" game modes with bots a try. You can play different periods of the war (early mid late), with different doctrines which all have specific units. It really changes up the experience.
Looks interesting and you've covered most of the questions I had, but what about morale? Do the pixeltruppen cower, refuse to obey orders and run away?
my advice is to avoid the PVP like the plague but the campaign is easily the most fun i've ever had on a strategy game before. the skirmishes were also really fun too. great game also if you're wondering if the DLC is worth it or not, play the base game german campaign. if you liked it, then yes 100% the DLC is worth it. i own all of the DLC and i have almost 900 hours
I would say PVP with friends is fun, if you're referring to public PVP then yeah, the few times I've played in public in these types of games its just been me being curb stomped.
right now I am in a weird self mind-mutilating loop of geting mad at the game, uninstalling the game and in a lest then 48 hours playing again.... 10/10
This Game is a Awesome RTS, My favorite(I have over 70). A very Steep Learning curve. If You like RTS Games like "Company of Hero's", think Twice before Buying GoH, maybe think again. Nice Vid.
men of war occupies a weird spot between company of heroes and more serious games like theatre of war and MAYYYYYYBE combat mission (an actual sim) if you stretch it , however the weakest part of every MOW game is the infantry , they havent changed that much since the very first title (soldiers heroes of ww2) , under player control they are more or less helpless and require intense macro in most but not all situations while the ai makes full use of the free movement toggle , at least they gave you the ability to spread them out in GOH to make a nice firiing line which is a nice general purpose formation instead of just the regular diamond-esque formaiton which makes them too dense and easily mown down by 1 mg

Also, as someone who played the CoH series quite a bit, both have a couple similarities with GoH (and MoW in general) like focus on positioning, similar unit types, destructive environment but I think that's about it. CoH has no inventory system and things like AT grenades are just abilities that certain troops have. Unit health is way more arcadey, and in CoH you have to tech up your base like in traditional RTS games. Also you have 3 different resources (manpower, munitions and fuel), as opposed to GoH that essentially only has manpower. Lastly, CoH is very PvP focused and it's way easier to get into than GoH, with tons of guides, replays and matchmaking.

14:43 That's the first i ever seen someone bounce off a shot from the ground to hit a tank in the turret. This game never stops to surprise me.

Cool video. Best WW2 strategy game!
It is. In the autistic universe where combat mission and graviteam tactics never existed.
@@calumlittle9828 combat mission and graviteam tactics are way too much of hardcore simulators lol
Not everybody enjoy that kind of game, include me
@@dungnguyenkhac7340
But they are objectively the better strategy games.
@@calumlittle9828 brother just mod the game. also those games are old af

Those slow motion scenes were awesome.

thanks for always providing a balanced and thoughtful view! ⚖️
Great video, a shame you don’t have more subs
my advice is to avoid the PVP like the plague but the campaign is easily the most fun i've ever had on a strategy game before. the skirmishes were also really fun too. great game

For me this is simply the best rts game
I’ve spent 1000+ hrs on this game
God I hate this game. 9/10 would suffer more
I wish they did a proper pause menu. Good game tho. Fair review. It's at its best zoomed-in at ground level, imo. And played slowly (with pause!)
right now I am in a weird self mind-mutilating loop of geting mad at the game, uninstalling the game and in a lest then 48 hours playing again.... 10/10
15:15 Yeah, mods are fun. Right now Im making my own. 20GB of new vehicles as of now.
Hows the name of your mod?
hmm im interested
Can't recommend Valor enough, the units and factions are amazingly well done.

This game is heaps underrated, good shout.
great vid! this game is a killer for sure
Lovely video man!
You should make the little edits louder. I dont know if they can hear them in the space station.
for me its better than men of war
Enjoyed your vid, thanks.

blessed video
Firs--- **dies**
Make a video of you playing conquest enhanced v2, its very easy!
Awesome video!
Good video!
Did these srsly use green instead of red crosses, though?
I asked the same thing, turns out the red cross is copyright protected, lol

@@TheJohn_Highway makes sense tbh
men of war assault squad 2 is just a older cheaper (i think) version of this i have 285 hours in that game. i also love gates of hell
Hawka and Mr cookie mentioned 🐮🐮🐮
Its a shame that you need dlc for the skirmishes
what specs do you have?

Same with all the options
Its fun to play WoT minus the shit that surrounds WoT on this game.
Pvp is just tank spam
