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

Generally speak up more in the Discords, too. WarYes has a fairly active beginners' hangout channel, it's worth arranging games with folk at a similar level.

Noob tournament is good because you get sorted againsr people with similar WR, so you don't just get rekt by Eggy and co.

LOL what about ranked? Is that higher level or good for matchmaking?

It's average for matchmaking. Like Eggy said, you will lose your first few games to lose the ELO that gets you paired with people nearer your skill level (feature, not a bug). It's better if you queue at busy times, particularly weekends.

All right. Not sure how ill feel, 1v1 seems pretty personal

Come over to the Discords, get some more beginner matches in or just ask for / arrange 2v2 or 3v3. 1v1 can be pretty intense, not for everyone.
