HLYA,
As you probably be guessed, I am playing WITW not so much WITE-2. (actually doing some SH3 and CW, at the moment) I bought it and will probably get WITE-2 DLC whenever released. I am very impressed with GG as a designer, and can console the bitter past knowing Matrix only pockets about 10% and the rest is 2by3.
I was waiting on playing WITE-2. Do you think that with the current patch level, v45, that the game engine is ready for prime time? Is it a balanced game if one plays the full campaign? Do realistic tactics yield realistic outcomes?
Thanks.
Mark,
I would start a thread and ask the community as a whole your last three questions. You will find answers all across the spectrum varying by the degree of expectation of the game and that players skill in game. Then further broken down if playing the AI or H2H. Ultimately the player skill level dictates the balance, no matter what others say, especially in a H2H game.
I have "always" loved playing WITE, both WITE1 and WITE2, no matter the patch level and have always striven to give feedback. In which the developers here really do listen and strive their utmost to accommodate. I thank them for that, "Thank you Devs"!
Having said that I can only comment on Grand Campaign games (Sudden Death & No Early end versions) versus players (h2H) up to patch .44 since I only the other day updated to .45. Plus I only ever play the GC games and rarely any other scenarios.
Here is my 2 cents for what it is worth (Key point is NO Motorization in these assessments)
* If playing H2H GC game versus "equal" skilled opponents I feel the game is pretty balanced if not playing with open TB's with current "
meta".
* If playing H2H GC game versus "equal" skilled opponents I feel the game is tilted towards the Germans if playing "with" open TB's with current "
meta". (with current patch this a good check box when a weaker Axis plays a higher skilled level Soviet and still may not be enough)
From what I have seen I still feel that many of the "old" tactics players are using do not fit well in WITE2. There is an ebb and flow to WITE2 and too many are still doing the rush rush rush attack attack attack of old that will get you in a very bad place in the game. Also all the moving pieces to form a synergy is not being applied in game as demonstrated in this forum post with Air. Ground war has a synergy too which many have not come to realize yet, but they will with time & is the beauty of this game)
Having said that
and to really confuse you and others. I personally feel I can win 99% of the time as Germany on closed TB's and 100% of the time with open TB's. I say this based on a "
non meta" game. I am reluctant to share but in the end I am sure I will to benefit the community.
As I have always done, I have been passing some of the little bit of knowledge I have in this game to others with one on one sessions and PM's. I can only say that it seems to me after them seeing certain items brought to light their fun factor increased substantially. I can not speak for them but that is what it seems to me. Because in the end it is all about the friendship you garner with your fellow gamers that is the ultimate prize.
I hope this helps and is just my 2 cents and 2 cents now days is not worth much.
) GA was not intercepted but City bombing was. Is city bombing that different from GA? I dont think so.
