Tank squad result

Is this a good result being tank commander?
Overall Kills: 153
Commander kills: 1
Officer kills: 37
Vehicles destroyed: 9
Garrisons destroyed: 4
Outposts destroyed: 8
Deaths: 11 - but some of those where outside of being in the tank trying to get in it lol

Unfortunately didn’t get the last objective so we lost, our infantry didn’t push enough at the end when I said in command chat that my tank squad had practically cleared the point. Anyone also got any other tips being tank commander?

Please enlighten me on what is good about this game

This is not ragebait. I am genuinely looking for a reason to get into it.

I bought the game on offer on the PS Store because I am big into war games particularly WW1 and 2. I have played for 5 minutes and can safely say I would be happy to accept that I have wasted £10 and forget about it all together. Can those who are into the game help with my current issues as I simply don't get how this is supposed to be enjoyable whatsoever.

  1. I spawn into a game in a full squad. There is absolutely no communication whatsoever, from ANYONE. No commander giving instructions, no squad call outs, not even in game situational NPC dialogue you load in and it is total silence bar a few gunshots. What is my objective, where are the enemies, what am I supposed to be doing? What does being in a squad matter if I have no interaction with them.

  2. The visuals are utter dogshit. The frame rate, the movement mechanics, it feels like I am playing a PS2 game. I get this isn't as important when the gameplay is redeeming but in my current situation where I don't really get the gameplay or what is supposed to be good about it, this is not ignorable

  3. There is a whole ass map for me to spawn in, with 6 or 7 garrison spawns. The enemies appear to be limited to a tiny fraction of the north border of the map, highlighted in red on the map in the spawn menu. This makes all but 1 or 2 spawns entirely pointless and puts you into a 5 minute running simulator to get to a busy area. No vehicles marked anywhere from what I can see. When you try to get into it, you are given a 10 second timer to return back to your side of the map. Is this just 2 teams in stationary positions, no flanking? Does map territory change during matches if one team is pushing forward for example, is this even possible?

  4. THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE - The HUD is fucking AWFUL. The text sizes are an absolute disgrace. I have perfect vision and even I am struggling to read any of the size 6 font in Hints, menus or on the map. This is the one that is putting me off the most, is there a way to change the writing size in options? I can't make heads nor tails of anything being displayed for me. Perhaps if this was fixed it would help a lot of my other issues.

Like I said, not trying to ragebait, remember that I have only just bought the game, but like I said the first 5 minutes have been so unpleasantly tedious that I need to see some reason to continue persevering with this game, if you can help me with these issues I'd be grateful!

Is it bad if a commander rarely uses air strikes?

So, I recently played a round as commander, and it went very good. My squad was actually competent and we managed to hold up 6-7 garrisons throughout the whole match.

But, I do play almost never commander and I learned from others and from my experience, that it is only sometimes worth it doing those air strikes.

In the round, I completely ignored strafing runs, and called in 2 or 3 bombing runs of which only one worked.

In the match, I used all my munitions basiclly just and only for supply drops, recon runs and feeding my artillery unit.

So, is this a valid commander strat, or should I look up a bit more on how to effectively use air strikes?

Very disappointed with this community

I’m pretty new to this game but enough play to know the mechanics. I don’t play roles that I’m not comfortable with , I always pay attention where I positioned myself if i play gunner or automatic rifle to be sure that I don’t shoot my teammates, I stop shooting if some run in front of me . I know there’s two kind of annoying people in this game , the dumbasses that don’t care if they shoot teammates and on the opposite the pathetic ones who think they’re in real army and can’t have fun and treat like sh*t the ones who try their best . I just have been kicked off for abuse ?? From the east America server just at the moment I was near destroying an enemy tank with my tank , i didn’t kill any teammate and I’ve been careful where I was shooting my rounds . I don’t know where and when i abused of my playing , it’s just pathetic as I see enemy tanks doing a lot worst than me at « abusing » rounds . This is just pathetic

Can someone please help me?🤦🏻

Hell(let loose)o, I know, that was awful... Anyway, I recently bought the game, I tried the training levels and I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing. Can one of you lovely people give me a run down of how to play and what different symbols mean please? For example, on the United States practise mission there was a tall contraption with a symbol flying above it but I don't know how to interact with it at all.

OR, is there something in the game that will explain everything to me because there were no instructions or objectives on the practise missions. Any help would be massively appreciated as I really wanna get into the game, it looks so good and fun.

Torpedo Juice was first mixed in World War II and made from pineapple juice and the 180-proof grain alcohol fuel used in US Navy torpedo motors. The US Navy then added poisonous additives to the fuel alcohol to discourage people. Recipe was two parts ethyl alcohol and three parts pineapple juice.

Why no Field Engineer loadout for German and Russian forces?

It's such a great loadout in the US, British and Canadian forces. Good combat loadout with machine gun and grenades plus the ability to build nodes, repair stations, fortifications and repair vehicles on the fly. Get mobile on the battlefield in a supply truck and it's a very powerful loadout.

German and Russian forces are missing a trick imo.
