159th_Falcon Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 And you can always click on the units weapon to deactivate it. This is especially usefull when you have radar SAM sites operating. If you turn off the radar, the enemy's SEAD shouldn't be able to pick them off. Now that IS some VERY useful information. So even though there is no hold fire command as such, i could always disable all weapons on a given unit. Thank's alot.

Mr_Burns Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I just completed the Middle Campaign, Nato vs. Pact. I am getting to grips with it but still not keen on the time limit. I figured there is no way you can get the points needed to win so I go after the re-supply corridors. On one of the sectors I had the US armoured and held all 3 corridors, had to start the game with only 3 command vehicles to secure them and wait whilst I earned enough points to start deploying units. As they had only one sector I figured they couldnt re-arm and as I didnt have many points I could only defend my command vehicles, then I controlled a few more areas and started getting more and more command points and launched an attack on their hilltop stronghold. Smoked the T80's to get my TOWs up on the plateux, when the smoke cleared the tows annihilated them. Took out their Command vehicle and steered clear of their anti tank infantry in the buildings, as the game didnt end I figured they must have another Command Vehicle somewhere, I had 4 recon helicopters searching the map for it, got it with 10 seconds left, luckily the US recon helo has a minigun!

nap0leonic Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 oh btw is the campaign battle time limit still there?
nap0leonic Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 are they ever going to remove it? I want to buy it but I read some saying that the time limit kinda take away some fun in the game.
AlphaOneSix Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 While I found the time limit frustrating at times, I eventually came to realize that the game is better for having it. I don't think it takes away any fun...but that's my opinion.
blackadam Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 how to kill SAM IR seeker or SACLOS (eg Strela 10, Roland) ? SEAD Fighter (Su-24, Raven) is not working with this target !

Hellfire257 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Artillery. Remember though, you don't need to kill them in order to render them ineffective. Smoke can block LOS and you can stun them will artillery so you can bring a bomber in safely. Wargame isn't like rock paper scissors in that there's a single counter for everything - you need to use combined arms tactics.
Mustang Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Slowly getting better at this game, been doing some awesome co-op's against AI with some squad mates :)
SNAFU Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I recently got this game and it is nice for a fast skirmish if you only have 30mins left to kill. Now that I read the an excellent guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-uURrYRBWlOFHMbZRSjCE0A6p9FGj2EhKD9SjvUmeug/edit#) I found and think I understood the basic game mechanics, I can at least hold my ground against a medium/ average AI. So I started MP 10vs10 pick up games and after 10 battles, in which I feel I fight against 3 or 4 other players on my own, I lost 7 out of 10 and ended 3 in a draw. Ok, I am not good, but I thought my short comings would be balanced somehow enough for at least one victory in 10 games? What are your experience in pick up games?

Pyroflash Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Gotta be REALLY conservative when playing pub matches. You can't count on your team backing you up if something falls through. I'd say generally a good idea to SAM up and pay attention to incoming SEAD. Control of the airspace is a sure way to ensure that you have enough time to react to unexpected surprises. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
SNAFU Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Ok, so far I mainly play a West german only deck, in which I heavily rely on MANPADS and cheap Radar AAA to back up my Roland-SAMs, but do not use planes at all. I spread recon infantry over the map, try to support other players with logistics and defensive infantry, while establishing a tank perimeter around a sector I intend to defend. Usually I end up alone fighting on 3 sides. I also made a PACT deck, mainly consisting of BUKH, Shilkas, Speznaz and ATGM Infantry - somehow same playstyle, I would consider as pretty conservative and somehow my typical RTS playstyle, but I think I still miss a lot. Last game I had a team member deploying 9 FOBs (!). What is that about? Just playing artillery? Is a worthwhile approach? So I see, one point I really lack is a way to react fastly on new situations, with SEAD, Napalm or air cover, but is airpower in WALB really that essential? So far I try to avoid expensive units, are they simply essential? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Unsere Facebook-Seite
Focha Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Is it worthy?

Feuerfalke Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Though less "realistic" and smaller in scale, IMHO "World in Conflict" was better in many ways. At least it was easier to start cooperative teamplay. This really is an issue in most Wargame-battles.

Couple of years ago there was a strategy game, by name "world at war", it was fun, but limited. Regards. Yes, Wargame: ALB has a ton of potential if you can deal with the initial frustration of being restricted to force decks that you design before the battle starts. Ok, so far I mainly play a West german only deck, in which I heavily rely on MANPADS and cheap Radar AAA to back up my Roland-SAMs, but do not use planes at all. I spread recon infantry over the map, try to support other players with logistics and defensive infantry, while establishing a tank perimeter around a sector I intend to defend.

So I see, one point I really lack is a way to react fastly on new situations, with SEAD, Napalm or air cover, but is airpower in WALB really that essential? So far I try to avoid expensive units, are they simply essential? Airpower is essential if you wish to react quickly to enemy air assets or incursions. Since they are highly mobile, they are essential assets for a reactive force, but I would not say that they are essential for EVERY strategy. Some of my tank focused decks, for example, have very limited fixed wing support. Only using them for when I am really pinned down, or have no other effective way to respond to an incursion. If you are worried about the price of aircraft, there are extremely cheap aircraft that can be used for limited action. I like the Yak-38 and A-6 for when I need airpower, but don't really need to spend a lot of money for a super effective unit. On the other hand, expensive air units are worth it if you have important missions to achieve where risk is greater than normal, or when accuracy is paramount. The F-117A, for example, is really effective at taking out otherwise untouchable defenses, and the A-10A is an extremely effective tank killer when used conservatively.

Dudikoff Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Though less "realistic" and smaller in scale, IMHO "World in Conflict" was better in many ways. To me on other hand there's almost no comparison between them except that both cover a similar theme. World in Conflict was a much simpler RTS game where the key gameplay element was a proficient use of unrealistic air and artillery strikes. Rince and repeat till the end. I know I will never feel the urge to play WiC again after the Wargame series and I occasionally go back and replay a campaign in WALB (just wish they'd make DLCs and gradually cover the whole strategic map area they have made available).
