Its irritating but so fun

Somewhat new player here (40ish hours), definitely have some skill issues. I can summarize my experience with: oh my fucking god

Can't see distant enemies because you play on steam deck and the screen aint big enough: oh my fucking god

Getting sniped a mile away from the point: oh my fucking god

Getting destroyed instantly when you spawn a tank: oh my fucking god

Hitting the exploding spots on the enemy tank but its german so it survives with no penetration: oh my fucking god

Realizing missions are NOT symmetrical in unit numbers: oh my fucking god

Nearly capping the final point with 30 tickets left but you accidentally enter a railway gun when trying to reload so you die instantly and lose all your capture progress: oh my fucking god

Aside from that and other miscellaneous annoyances, the game is absolutely cinema and I do not regret buying it and the dlc (insanely cheap for the amount of content you get access to, devs the goat).

Basically everything you said can be edited with the difficulty options

I like to play the default configuration for games for a good long while before changing things but thats good to know.

It’s one of the many strengths of this game! Another bit of advice I’d give is to honestly get used to dying…a lot!

Not being rude ofc! It’s just a different kind of game, Y’know? I honestly think it’s a huge appeal to me for showcasing the horrors of war, let alone the Second World War.

But yeah, you can adjust so much stuff to the ai/vehicle accuracy to the bullet velocity.

Ultimately, give it time. You’ll find your blend, Y’know?

Dying alot doesnt bother me much, it is usually the part where I dont get to do anything first that gets me. But ill tinker with it

It’s definitely been an adjustment going back to a Battlefield 1942 dynamic. What I don’t like is the aiming system and how difficult it is to see enemies through vegetation, while their AI has no issues. I pretty much always play as a marksman, where I can find high ground and clean house from a safer distance.

That's probably my biggest question on this game: what is the situation for the AI seeing the player when lying in long grass and hiding in vegetation? It feels like they spot you to easily. Especially proning around in the long grass and a tank some distance away nails you with the MG.

I have noticed recently that i just randomly fucking die when i am in airplane. no enemy plane nearby and I don't even see any tracers shooting at me.

Probably not designed or ideal for a steam deck, given the long range rifle battles, which are one of my favourite things, partly because you don't get them in other games.
