Game too hard to be enjoyable

It's the very, very frustrating.

I just completed that mission and i was hard but managed this one pretty good. U need flak cannons on the coast to take out the ships(i think u have to shoot down 5 or 6 (transport ships and battle ships). Strange thing is u have to shoot blind. What i had to do is click the binoculars on the objective to spot the ship , and then aim on the pointer lol.

Yeah, I beat it. I was on the Infantry part of the mission. Though now I hear since I updated, all of my old saves are now useless. Brilliant ******* job guys.

You have to finish the tutorial mission for soviets, then other nations will be opened. The mission is quite easy, don't think there will be any problems, just use Direct control when you get the tank, it really helps!

Most tanks i have to hit at least 4 times before they start smoking or lose a track while my tanks are easely taken out with one or 2 shots. There is also 1 ******* britisch tank shooting ALL of my tanks with one shot heavely damaged or straight to pieces. I swear i shot this tank about 20 times and missed about half. Still 10 hits and its still alive and not even smoking. Very frustrating and a waist of what could have been a good game.

I think you are going about the game wrong. Most tanks have VERY heavy front armor more so for tank busters.. also heavy tanks move slow and turn slow.. 2 light tanks and destroy 3-4 heavy tanks by flanking them and firing on the run... shoot out one of the tracks... this prevents the tank from turning around and placing heavy armor facing you.. then take out the turret this lets you flank without being fired on... and if you are playing AI they jump out of the tank when turret destroyed... this leaves tank for you to repair and take over the heavy tank...

use direct control the best way to take out the turrets... most times i have all the enemy tanks under my control before the end of mission, unless they have tanks and I have infantry... anyway hope this helps you

Thanks for trying to help but I'm not excatly a noob at these games. I do flank and use DC and yes i can also repair a tank and even fuel it up! My point is, if a tank shows up in front and i shoot it once at the front nothing happens, but if the same thing happen to me and my tank totaly explodes, that makes my pants drop down you know, nothing one can do about that. And this did not happen just once or twice. Same size tank and shells.

But overall its a great game and it still keeps me playing dispite they make the AI cheat sometimes, or buged i dunno.

munny if i can point out
on scorching sands you get Caro M15 Italian LIGHT tanks now these things had such thin armor that its not far fetched for a British crusader MK IV or a
Matilda MK 2 to be able to waste these things there were some of the worst tanks of WWII. in other words you HAVE to get a LUCKY rear shot with a Caro on the back to take out a crusader.
a tip for this mission is just to get 88's and half tracks and have the 6? guys in the half track bum rush the tank trying to AT nade it.
sorry long post

I dunno that much about tanks but then that sux. Its the story of this game, always far outnumbred and have to do with lighter weapons then the enemy. But i finaly finished the german missions now, only the allied missions left

Any hints for the first alied mission? its crawling with enemies again and i must not be seen...
