Hi, i want to start today with a german run and have question what Units do you prefer to start?

I want to Build a normal army without elit Units

Is there any GoH Halo mod in development? I saw that CTA has one but I dont own it nor do I want to really get it either. I really want a halo mod in GoH especailly since we already have a TF2 mod as well.

Hi, I like RTS but not complicated ones because I suck. I struggle on Company of Heroes 2 and I'm ok on AoE IV/AoM

I'm really drawn to the possibility of playing a unit in third person.
Can the AI be the commander ? And leave me to just select units and play as them ? If not does playing a unit cost you precious micro/macro time on the RTS gameplay ?

Also it says "partial controller support ?". Is it good ?

EDIT : Thank y'all so much for the honest replies, I followed a suggestion that drove me to Easy Red 2 and I love it ! Might still end up buying this one on sale one day ! Cheers !

I'm extremely new and I am looking for an early age heavy art that can shoot accurately in an arch. I have only played soviet skirmish on custom easy settings and havent found it yet by experimenting, but I did steal a German 15cm sIG and its exactly what I'm looking for.

hey guys im new and im confused about the difference of the vehicle and troop movement

troop double right click = aggressive movement and if neccesary they move.
tanks not they stand more like still (my sdkfz didnt even turn to shoot back that retard even if i double clicket the enemy soldier i needed to turn it manually)

and troops can be split on an close area with holding the right mb and drag .

tank groups dont do this right?

and why i can not hold theright mb and drag that the hull turns in this direction at the end (only the tower)

hey guys, i wanna ask you who can build normal foxholes? everybody with an shove ?
how do i know in the dynamic campaign mode if the sqad or parts of it have this opirtunity?

Defending is fairly easy compared to going on the offensive for me. Most of the time I capture around half the points and then end up stuck in some Guerilla stalemate where all my tanks get blasted by AT units and i can’t push because the following point is way to heavily defended to only Push it with infantry. Are there any tricks or strategies to break through faster and most important of all better and „cleaner“?

For some time now, while playing this game in Conquest mode, I have noticed a certain behavior on the part of the AI ​​opponent when it comes to selecting targets for bombing.

Especially since I'm playing on mod: Hortens frontline

I am looking for a solution and possible alternatives for placing fortifications and anti-aircraft units. Since I play on a hard economy mode, I cannot afford to place anti-aircraft systems on the entire front line.

Returning to the thesis. Does the AI ​​only target the highest-cost unit? Or the highest-cost units within the bomb's range?

I'm trying to understand how this works, but so far I've noticed that the AI ​​tries to chase my tanks even when they're moving, with the goal of destroying them. Sometimes it locks on to the unit with the highest experience if the unit isn't within the range of anti-aircraft systems.

Have you also noticed similar behavior or is there a specific set of behaviors for AI air raids?

Especially little things like the universal carriers. I don't get the point of the Universal Carrier sections being one unit when they don't move as one unit. they all just glob onto the same single point.

Is this something that's even possible with GEM? I know it's an old engine, but if infantry can move in spaced formation without much issue, why can't a group of vehicles do the same? Adding on to that, whats the point of grouping infantry/vehicles together if they can't move in some sort of unit? They all just glob individually again.

It usually works but I also usually lose a lot of men in the process. It seems like this game really heavily prefers manual control of vehicles over infantry strategy, primarily because it seems like infantry strategy requires a lot of micro, which is hard to pull off when a mortar can delete half a squad in one hit, plus ai controlled tanks don’t seem to understand that anti tank emplacements should be priority #1 so if I don’t micro them with direct control they get killed by a distant emplacement.

I managed to beat the first German mission with fog of war off but that also lets me call in a fuckton of backup tanks and infantry so preserving my forces wasn’t very important since I could just truck in 2 more infantry squads.
