Developers: Hard difficulty

[accipiter]

Is there any chance we might see a slight adjustment to the hard difficulty level for skirmish missions? The difficulty jump between normal and hard is quite significant. It is even harder when playing multiplayer since there is no save feature and the games can drag on for over 5 hours.

I looked at the stream achievements recently and noticed that less than 2% of players have the hard level completion achievements. I understand most people probably play online against each other, but this still seems pretty low.

Comments, thoughts, suggestions?

Skirmish on Hard - singleplayer only.

In the beginning Hard on skirmish was very hard and frustrating.
The Hard setting is harder than the previous Men of War game.

With Assault Squad, over time I learnt I could capture the whole map by
first defending my start base with the hedgehogs, mines and barbed wire, etc
It took a few tries to get optimal defence setup.
I used the slow motion game speed = backspace for easier organization of my men.

Slowly I was able to capture and repair damaged enemy tanks, etc.
These were important in gaining advantage and
slowly was able to advance onto and capture the other flag points.
Game speed was able to be made normal speed with the new strength because the men could handle the enemy attacks.

Many hours + days of enjoyment just for 1 mission

Thanks for the response, but multiplayer is a different beast all together since you cannot slow the game down or save and reload if things go badly.

Thank you for the input though,
