Game too hard to be enjoyable

[sgt_munny]

I have to agree, this game is often way too hard. But its not only too hard, its unfair also. Now im in the german Scorsching Sands mission and this one is just laughable unfair. 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.

Weird, that was an easy Mission for me. The hardest one is the this coast mission I am on now. I have roughly 30-40 guys and such, but the enemy is rushing me with like 200. I also have to use Arty to destroy the ships passing by, and their long range arty keeps attacking mine.

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.

I ve only just started playing the game where you repair the tank, am I missing something because you just have 1 tank against so many germans and the tracks keep coming off 9 attempts so far

Destroy tanks and 45mm guns first with a AP round. Keep away from enemy infantry, don't let them get close or they may get you with a AT grenade.

yea i downloaded the demo and i liked the game so i bought it.
Now i'm playing and i'm stuck at "the flying dutchman".
This misson is very hard,but not impossible.

Also i dont preffer so much stealth missons they are much harder then others.

But i just cant find any walktrough!probably there is no one for this game?

Some missions are very hard, but why don't you guys do as I do? Give yourself some more advantage, change the missions in game.pak and add some more units to turn it more easy.

robi120 strangely no one as yet made a walktrough for this game, I've checked sites like cheatcodecentral and there is nothing yet.
After you get some more experience with the game you'll find that the flying dutchman is not that hard.

Myself I think this game is priceless. After starting playing it I forgot completly Company of Heroes, love the real damage effects and the direct control is something amazing. Do you guys also think that in the last COH expansion when we get to control the Tiger they deliberatly copied that from MOW? The only thing this game lacks is a pause button so we can give orders when there are a lot of units to control. I think with the real damage and direct control this game is gonna be a changing point and all this kind of strategy games are going to be like MOW.

Bob - There actually is a pause button, try hitting the pause button on your keyboard I don't think it was put in the list of controls, but it works for me. You could also use the backspace key to change the speed of time, allowing you to control all of your troops= in a hectic situation.

I'm not sure what you mean by CoH copying the Tiger from MoW..I don't think MoW was the first to use a Tiger tank in a game .
But the addition of the "direct control" mode CoH put in deffinately seems (cheaply) copied from MoW. Not only that, it's basically useless in CoH, atleast in MoW it is frequently used/needed and can turn the tide of a battle when you take =control.

I too haven't given CoH another thought since discovering MoW, it's just not worth the time anymore. Almost like a step backwards in terms of gameplay, features and enjoyment.

But i don't think that real damage/direct control or this sort of realistic and intense gameplay will become the standard in RTS titles. Let's face it, the typical gamer isn't willing to use their brain to finish a game that requires thinking, planning and patience, there will always be a need for CoH style games.
We've already heard people claiming MoW is "too hard to be enjoyable" and games like CoH will be made for people like that. It's fine by me, just means less mindless idiots coming here to complain that they had to actually think.

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
