Something you MUST utilize...

Direct control is the thing that has made this game series stand out ever since I played the SHoWW2 officer demo and used a timed grenade on the first truck that appears full with infantry.
The sniper AI needs some work as they have poor target selection(they should go after high value tagets first ie MG's flamethrowers other snipers before targeting cannon fodder) and they don't use their range advantage. I find they don't start shooting till 60m instead of 69.9m.

That was something that I was disappointed in too. I once made a squad with mostly snipers. I set them up with good cover and waited for the carnage. You could see them sighting in on guys but they hardly ever shot. On the other hand whenever there is a enemy sniper around it's stick your head up and you get one between the eye's. It's not a big deal I was just looking forward to it(the carnage). Without DC these games would be nearly impossible for me.

Yeah, snipers only work on guys who stand basically still. They only will fire if they complete the whole sight circle and most the time the target mysteriously knows hes being zeroed in so he ducks, breaks the circle, runs, ducks....so yeah....snipers just out on their lonesome are screwed. Also line of sight is screwed up to.....some of the flattest hills in the game can obscure the vision of even the tallest tanks that can clearly see over it....So yeah Kane1, your right if this game didnt have DC it would basically be impossible. I love DC =D First Person Realtime Strategy Game...totally wicked
