I'm quite new to the game (52 hours played), yesterday I plucked up the courage to be squad leader for the first time, and we won :) I didn't do anything special, just placed down outposts regularly, communicated with my squad, placed down enemy infantry markers, I did mark up a nice bombing run that cleared about 15players out of a trenchline that was relentlessly holding us back. Our squad initiated an insane re-capture of Rudno, we contested it for a good 15minutes just by ourselves, then we managed to take out an enemy garrison, then 2 other squads started to push in and we capped it, it felt so satisfying, especially when the other squad leaders & the commander said "Excellent work Charlie squad" in chat, it gave me goosebumps lol. I am loving the game at the moment, the only thing I dislike about it is the texture pop in/rendering, annoying bushes/trees etc in the distance either appear or disappear when I aim down sights.

My grandpa fought in Hürtgenwald/forest and before that in Russia. Don't know where, he rarely talked about ww2. (only when he was drunk). Almost 80 years later I play a game about his baddest experience. When you think about it and be honest.... This is sick. When I was a kid, he didn't want me to play with my toysoldiers. "Krieg ist kein Spiel" he told me once.

@ganonn3 жыл бұрын
The key issue with concealment in the new maps is that render distance limitations can leave you completely revealed despite being hidden behind solid objects. The legacy maps have objects that are not removed at long render distances which effectively break LOS. If you're on the hill at the windmills looking toward German spawn, you will see infantry behind solid cover, completely unable to damage them directly (HE splash can be effective if the player is aware of the clipping zones of the objects nearby) but they will be fully visible as none of the objects will render. The same is possible from the Russian side of Stalingrad; when in the rubble east of the railyard, nearly all objects are see-through on the German side of the map.

I'm fairly new to the game with about 100 hours and I'm so happy to be learning this info early on instead of later. The amount of times I've won a small battle on maps due to the difference in terrain height is insane. Always remember, having height is the advantage!

Great video, the smallest terrain height makes such a big difference, it can even protect your tank! Also I'd just like to add that while hiding in a bush may seem obvious, in my experience a lot of players just don't notice while they are charging in and distracted by all the action around them. I've taken out so many people while just standing in a bush.

While I completely agree with terrain elevation being the best cover I still disagree with using them on Kursk making the map playable. It's just way too much open ground and people rightfully complain about it. There are way too few viable paths(including the elevation paths) that can easily be covered. Yes, it's a tank map, but so is Foy. But at least Foy is halfway enjoyable as Infantry (unless West Bend is a relevant sector, which absurdly favors Germans). What I love about being officer is that if something doesn't work you can give it a different approach. The approaches on Kursk are so extremly limited, that I end up circling through them, failing over and over again. And yes I'm using elevation as coverage, but it's not enough.
