Hi folks!

I bought this game recently at steam and after a short but though learning process I feel now quite (too) comfortable playing on normal. Now Im wondering whats the difference between normal and hard?

Btw: Is there any difference - regarding difficulty - between the campaigns?

Cheers

I would say the Soviet campaign is easiest but the longest. On easy you may get a T34/85 but a T34/57 on hard. Less units, more enemies, more frequent waves, less ammunition and smarter AI the harder the setting.

Would you say easy is to easy?

Im stuck on the second soviet mission, but I would not want to miss that feeling you get completing something very hard, although I could settle for a little less intensity from normal :grin:

Kai.

Thanks a lot!

...and smarter AI the harder the setting.

In what respect is the AI smarter?

Response time, chance to run and throw back grenade, caution after first alert, remembering where enemy units were, reload more often, etc.

The difficulty level should work the same way in Red Tide, Assault Squad, and Vietnam.

The types of units change in higher difficulty. IDK what difficulty it appears but in Borgs Last Fight there is a Centurion the Brits get. The Airstrip there is an Elefant and on The Crossroads there is a Jagdtiger.....I will have to play this game on normal at somepoint...been on easy this whole time...

Try the German bonus where you defend the French town on hard. Its had some changes since 1.17.5.1.

On Vernon you also get only a Tiger I on hard difficulties while a Kingtiger on easy.

Im halfway through the factory mission on easy in slow motion. Ive never felt so dirty doing a mission before as I do now.

My inner child that played Homeworld 1, struggling in the nebula, taking two days of just surviving and against all odds is kicking my shins :grin:

If Evac is giving you fits wait till Sevastopol.....that mission is quite possibly the hardest Russian mission, then even harder yet is Borgs Last Fight in the German campaign....if not hard then its definitly annoying

Sevastopol? Hard? I aced that first time around on easy. The hardest one I have done on the Soviet Campaign is Penal Units. That had me stop playing for a month.

That one was easier for me cause I could take my time and I had less troops to control. Sevastopol on the other hand gave me some trouble.

Lol, now that is funny, you have a harder time with the mission I had almost no trouble with while you aced the mission I sorta struggled with. Its not that its hard but more annoying....it took me like 3 tries to beat sevastopol.
