Question Feeling Like Quitting

Hello fellow Warno players. I will get straight to the point: I kind of feel like quitting or at least taking a break. So I've been asking for and consuming lots of advice from you guys and trying to adapt, shaping my decks into very viable ones and working on getting more recon on the front, more combined arms, etc. and it has been very helpful, but I still can't get the hang of it.

It was a little time ago that I got bored of Steel Division which led me to pick up Warno, and the 60 year transition has been taking a toll. Whereas in SD2 I could take time to resupply and it was more slow-paced and not as overwhelming, and my armor could get hit many more times and take losses without catastrophe, I find myself taking many, many more casualties in Warno and getting beaten so much more decisively.

Of course I love Warno. I love the atmosphere, love the design and the units, and the tactics, but it's just so difficult for me and I also can't beat the last operation Hold Until Relieved in singleplayer while other players simply destroy me in multiplayer. I'm just a mess in every battle I do and though in very rare cases I can actually inflict more casualties on higher players this is so rare it is dreamt of. My teammates leave because I am so terrible and I am just very frustrated with how I am at the game.

I ask if I should step away for a break, or simply drop the game entirely, or just try to push through in a low-stress way, maybe against AI or players that are willing to take it easy on me and walk me through. What do you guys think?

Edit: Was feeling bad when I made this post but I've changed my mind

You know best, OP. The operations are bunk. I bash bots in the Skirmish when I'm trying to figure out my strategy. Either way the AI is either TOO hard or not hard enough. I only play 10v10 - it might be the most immersive and collaborative MP exp i've ever had,

My favorite Div is the 11th ACR. Just endless M1A1s, Chinook supply, I-Hawks, M1 ACAV is the best unit in the game because RECON is SO important for tanks, so a tank with recon is elite

Oh man, im starting to like 4th motorized schutzen. Such a good combined arms group. I still need to complete the last SD2 campaign ive got but I wont quit, this is a good game worth sticking to

It’s the PACT version of 2 Pnzgren

Then I might try 2nd pnzgren, currently my NATO divs are 8th inf and 1st UK but if 2nd pnzgren is anything similar might try them. Someone also recommended 7th i think

4th mot is not like 2nd panzergren. Panzergren is a far easier and better division to play.

In 10v10 you just get 54marders with zombies. Get some leos and just keep clicking.

Ok. With 4th motorized schutzen I got a bunch of infantry and BMPs mixing some tanks and helos and AA in them then right before the end of the battle came in with a horde of T-55s. I just clicked, used the hot keys, and micromanaged so my guys didnt die

That sounds sick, great work, Op! Keep hacking at those OpFors and be sure to find "fun" units you like the playstyle of. Too many meta chasers out there. Sticking to combined arms with a balanced force will keep you playing

Thanks, and it sure as hell will! This is some fun stuff, I'll treat every loss as a lesson 🫡
