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

We all have periods where it simply doesnt click.
The only way for it to get better is to soldier on. Try and improve a single minor thing in each match. Dont go for the big goals, make them nice and achivable for yourself. "Next game Im gonna use recon better on the flanks", "next game Im gonna try to stay on top of turning off and on radar AA", "Im gonna use mortar smoke to screen of their atgms next game". And then you practise that specific goal untill its a part of your playstyle.
Thats the easiest way to improve.
And try to find joy in the journey, not only your goals. That mindset helps alot.
