As a hardcore C&C fan, I've been wanting to convert Ostfront or a wargaming game into Tiberian Sun... I have so many notes written down on how I could structure the squads, and tech. I just don't have the experience yet, but hey if I was determined to have years worth of ideas jotted down, I'll eventually learn to make a conversion mod.
Real shame they won’t bring in maps from western front. I think the maps in SD2 are very same-y especially compared to the Normandy maps of the first game.
There are lots of things Warno really needs.. I agree this is one of them. Since the game literally revolves around the cold war going hot, that's like the epitome of a breakthrough right there. A massive build up on both sides already prepared. It's amazing that Eugen didn't think to include it back in EA.
@@theShermanator In this case the converted gunners are supposed to be gun crews from AA guns converted into infantry units because, at the point the SD series is set (June-Sept 1944), the Luftwaffe effectively no longer existed on the western/Italian fronts and the Allies no longer needed anywhere near as much AA as they had prepared. The lack of AA is also reflected in a disabled unit in SD44 for the 3rd Canadian. The Skink, a Canadian made Sherman converted to AA use with a custom turret with quad mounted autocannons, was made in very limited numbers (~4?) and only one saw limited battlefield testing where the guys liked it for infantry support but the brass quickly killed the project because the intended target effectively no longer existed. The devs intended to include it but disabled it at the last second due to the extremely limited actual use but left it in the files to serve essentially as a tutorial for modding the game as you only need to add a single line of code to reenable it.
this is one of my favorite games of all time. Ive got over 1300 hours on it, haha. setting up defenses is my favorite aspect especially with "AG supreme" mods that add landmines and ammo bunkers. i wish the devs would release map tools. the only thing lacking is the lack of maps.
@@theShermanator Yeah the mod's great but because the game has updated recently the mod no longer works until the author updates it, quite unfortunate.
Well, yes and no, the mode didnt have you build defenses and stuff really, I dont count the 3 bunkers on the points as real defenses, however yeah join/leave in progress made WiC an amazing strategy game
It’s a great game mode. I wish I were better at this game. Just so you know Conv. Gunners were members of 2nd and 3rd line AA devisions that were reorganized (converted) and pushed up to the frontline in Italy so that some of the proper infantry formations could be moved to Normandy.
Id love to see a SD3 set in Italy, would be very interesting terrain wise! Or maybe the Pacific, though that might be a bit tough in terms of bigger tanks being limited
@@lucas82 no worries, as long as you enjoy the game :) And it's probably best to stay away from the multiplayer unless you want your mother be brought up immediately
Army General is cool but I wish there was something smaller, more in-between skirmish and AG, early-mid-late would be cool too but idk if they have enough early stuff sadly
They better bring old maps from the previous games for steel division 3. If not it'll be just like the wargame series with weird battles in china with germans fighting east germans.
I wish the infantry overhaul would be a bit more better its good now but I feel like infantry needs a bit more wish it had paradrop options and such. But also different era ones modern would be great or Vietnam. Idk about WW1 tho.
Its massive and has a lot of depth to it for sure, you can always buy it on sale and test it for 2 hours, refund if you dont like it then or keep it and keep learning it!
Think thats what I did, one on the left and one on the middle right, couldnt really cover the town on the hill with an AT gun tho I think, too much cover
Future ideas for any game maker/mod maker: Make a game for the Vietnam War or the Korean War in the style of MoW2 or Gates of Hell. Playable campaign: 1. North Vietnam 2. North Korea 3. People's Republic of China 4. United States 5. South Vietnam 6. South Korea
Had some fun with this game but i hate everything looks gray. Also, had my tiger 2 get front pen'd by a churchill, and finished off by a mortar. Instant uninstall, HP bars on tanks is the dumbest thing ever
I still want a Warhammer 40k game that is similar to SD2, would be amazing and very fitting imo
Warhammer, Star Wars, Vietnam, even MODERN, this has a lot of potential tbh, as an engine/base
why don't we ask for something nicer? Broken Arrow style 40k game would be Epic.

I would honestly love to see more WF maps, I kinda hope they just say, here is a DLC and here is a bunch of maps, or we might see it in SD3 lol
Warno really needs this mode

Converted gunner, from support units, clerks and cooks.
That makes a ton of sense, hence their skill and weapons (or lack thereof)
Thanks!

Wow, I gotta check out that mod, Cheers!
@@theShermanator Yeah the mod's great but because the game has updated recently the mod no longer works until the author updates it, quite unfortunate.
World in Conflict had this mode and you could join and leave games in progress. Something no other strategy game has done since then.

Ah cheers for that info; also about the game, I am very bad, but I just have fun with AI! :D
Every true man has this exact same question on theyr mind :
"Is the map big enough for the Titans in potential 40k mod?"
Haha
We need SD3 already, and they need to make sure they can produce all types of maps for it, SD2 was too limited to just eastern front maps.
Id love to see a SD3 set in Italy, would be very interesting terrain wise! Or maybe the Pacific, though that might be a bit tough in terms of bigger tanks being limited
Breakthrough is fun! Still want a "campaign" or "faction play mode with sandbox objectives" mode for this game.
I think that could be cool
Army General mode is campaign?
I love SD2. I play a 10v10 game every day. A favorite past time.
ive spent so many hours in breakthrough, setting up intricate defenses only for the AI to turn it all into glass
@@tooeasyy5287 haha fair, thats what its for
I may be too stupid for Steel Division because I just keep getting absolutely murdered in SD2. Hardest RTS I have ever played tbh.
@@lucas82 no worries, as long as you enjoy the game :) And it's probably best to stay away from the multiplayer unless you want your mother be brought up immediately
Yeah, it has an insane learning curve. But for me it's one of the most fun RTS around. Before it was Company of Heroes.
Now they need to add a early-mid-late style dynamic war mode like in Gates of Hell
There is General Campaigns
Army General is cool but I wish there was something smaller, more in-between skirmish and AG, early-mid-late would be cool too but idk if they have enough early stuff sadly
check out warno and wargame red dragon, they are simillar but they are 1960-2000 technology
Oh I am ofc familiar with those, but I think SD2 and Wargame as well as WARNO feel quite different from each other
They better bring old maps from the previous games for steel division 3. If not it'll be just like the wargame series with weird battles in china with germans fighting east germans.

Man I would LOVE airborne dropping/gliding into battle!
I love playing Rts games but not sure about this game i feep like its massive to manage and doesnt have much depth should i buy this game ?

Awesome mode , good stuff dude
imagine this in WARNO
id love that!
Wish we had African maps
yes!
I think it would be awesome if they added some Western Front Army Generals to SD2.
that would require maps sadly
@@theShermanator I know, its just wishful thinking
i am 1v1 player, but this mod is really good for fun
Use the AT bunkers to cover roads where AI goes.
Think thats what I did, one on the left and one on the middle right, couldnt really cover the town on the hill with an AT gun tho I think, too much cover
the only thing i dislike is the comeback fase. i think the attacker should stay the attacker
fair
If you want other to play with to join you, i know a few communities that play this game
Oh I would get destroyed lmao, I never got very good at SD2, I was OK at SD44 I guess (maybe not as good lol)
dont join SD2 FOB HQ...the guy ATLA is a predator
@@theShermanator we have no problem going against the AI and even doing the co-op campaigns
Not sure why “break through” mode is not showing in my game mode. Any suggestions or help….
@@absurdlyawesome5101 it should be an option if you are hosting a game
@@theShermanatorI am just Solo vs AI? I am not hosting. Maybe that’s the reason?

I severely doubt it lmao
this mode has been in the game since day one
Never said it wasn't?
