Rommel Style

@@pointlesspublishing5351 don’t know more than the basics about Rommel, what do you mean?

Sounds like the commander I had the other day!

And that why I love this fucking game I can't play battlefield or Call of Duty anymore

Moments like these are the reason videogames are made.

Thank you! They've tweeted out my beginners guide in the past and posted it on steam and stuff, so that's good, but yeah, I'd love to see the game itself have links to this.

@@monoespacial didnt battlefield 4 had a promotion system, where you get faster regeneration and such? They also had a bounty hunter system for high lvl players, but i think it wouldnt make sense in this game since killing isnt really the main factor of this game. But promoting a squad would be a cool idea imo.

Herd the sheep. Anytime I am SL and start talking and ordering they come out of the woodwork with mics. Hell even as an MG I'll start asking for pings for suppression and everyone kinda starts clicking. You just gotta be the one to start the snowball.

Defense is not boring at all when done right. You have to do recons. Send on of your guys out to check a certain area. Stand on a elevated area with your binoculars. Keep an eye out for airheads,... And help the commander make the judgement whether or not some attacking squads shoud fall back. I like defending better than attacking.

Good defense can be better than attacking in my opinion. I took part in an event and my squad was assigned to defense. I was the Machine Gunner and just obliterated the enemies. After the event the enemy team gave me compliments for the accurate MG defense

Besides all of that, it's not like the game will be over in 10 minutes and you'll miss the war. These games take so damn long sometimes, that you really have all the time in the world.

I scrolled all the comments to find yours :) i knew it had to be somewhere here.

That was a solid game, though I don't think the other team was very good. It's always cool to meet people in game that have found the videos useful!

A lot has changed in terms of how to command since U10, so I hope more people give it a try.

It's easier than running on the front lines in many ways, your only real disadvantage is you can't place OPs which is annoying. If you just spawn in vehicles when people ask and try to keep up some garrisons you're doing a big service for your team. And remember to cast Last Stand on cooldown so you can spawn in everything for free for 30 secs! Including converting resources >:)

@@ximbabwe0228 Roger that, thank you so much!

@@axpa2771 sure thing

@Thomas Kincaid ok thank you lol

Glad to hear it!

Hi, any updates on your tactics?

True

I see commanders that just go prone in a bush and build maybe 1 or 2 garrisons per game. Don't be that guy!

Big thanks to Karl Jobst. He always uses it in his videos.

@@monoespacial loving your content as well my guy. I have HLL on PS5 and been playing since the beta. Your vid’s helped out so much with getting the understanding of the game. I wish squads talked more though

I'd play squad leader and focus on building garrisons before playing commander. At level 24 you shouldn't yet have a proper idea of where you should put them.

Too late I’m 4-0 as commander.

It would be a good guide, if he did not give a couple of just wrong advises.

Sure but in certain situations it depends on how you think about the play being made. For instance, when playing the road to Bastogne map, if an integral point on the defence is lost, it's a completely viable strategy to tell your squad leaders to redeploy their squads at a garrison or hq point closer to your new defence objective.

Think of it as, my reserves in said garrison are now moving out and those soldiers are casualties of an overrun objective. There are certain times where your suspension of disbelief will have to come into play considering the limit of 100 players to a match. You gotta think of a garrison as an actual garrison not just a "spawn point"

I have been having some success with strafing runs. usually getting 3-4 kills with it. but the cost is too high for the damage it can deal. if it was 100 it would work nicely with a recon plane for a 200 ammunition quick strike to help out your team if you dont have 400 to use on a recon + bombing run. But now you spend half of a bombing run while a bombing run can do so much more damage. Either make the strafing run 100 ammunition or make it so it can destroy a garrison. Because right now its a bit lackluster.

I disagree with everything you've said. "While killing infantry buys you 20 seconds, killing only garrison while enemies have supports might buy you actually 0 seconds". No, because if they build a garrison it will take 40s for the spawn wave... like... that doesn't even make an ounce of sense. You can twist any scenario to find a case where X isn't useful. I think you're forgetting about experience playing the game. Attacks often fail unless you destroy the enemy garrisons, whether with a bombing run or some other way. You say "best way would be to try to do as much harm". If you think destroying a garrison isn't "much harm" then you and are are playing a different game. And why is taking the supply truck at the start "very bad"? You don't explain this at all. More often than not it's VERY hard to get people to build garrisons, which is why YOU as Commander needs to do this. I fail to see how giving the truck to an SL is good but taking it yourself is "very bad".

​@@monoespacial actually is very simple, is the same mistake I see every single game. Every single game becomes a rush, and when the team failing has to retreat it has no extra defenses built at all. I saw games when after loosing mid the game ended in 5-minutes after, each other strong point falling instantly. Is like everyone goes for all of nothing. About the 40 seconds, you are wrong. If they lose OP but no infantry, guess what, they don't need to redeploy yet. So the 40 seconds are out of question, they need to die first to need those seconds. Assuming your troops were not rushing while bombing run was under way, your troops might actually need more than 40 seconds to get in, find the new garrison, etc. Again, I said killing ONLY garrison is bad, so you are twisting words for your liking. If is VERY hard to have SL build garrisons we get to the point where I told from start that you don't have a team. In that case what you do individually doesn't have a huge impact since they are not following orders anyway, so at that point I can very easy say they will not do what they need after a bombing run either. So you need to decide, you trust and work as a team, or you play solo. You need to decide if you tell how many supports you need in the start so nodes can be build right away in HQ (you can have 6 nodes in a couple of seconds at start, you'll need only 3 more on an advanced position (or in another 30 seconds in third HQ base if people redeploy by switching roles). Like that you'll have at least 3 supports already in transport trucks (those not redeploying) and will be at the furthest point available when game begins. Why is it a waste ? because you from truck you will deploy every single time 150 supplies, not 50 as you need for garrison, and if you go as I see many do, you'll let 100 resources in some odd and totally useless places. Meanwhile on offence maps for example, when you defend, engineers can use the trucks to build fast very strong defenses on the last 2 strong points. Most of the time, as enginner, I have to beg for new supply trucks because somebody decided is best if they take a walk with it while ignoring everything else. So again, if you presume you as commander play alone because nobody listens, well, the feeling is mutual, most games commanders are blind and play solo.

It is

That is just common sense though! The problem with common sense is that its not very common haha

Ya a commander with a Squad maybe a idea?

Yeah, give it a try and get your feet wet.

I know… the game neet to have a mic input detectionsystem, like if you do not have a mic you cant be a leader.

You spin it every time you click. So... Just clicking on it fast I guess.

tictak is the best commander

​@@monoespacial glassman is best burning man

@@LuGer212 Luger best Luger?

Red zone garrisons

What do you mean "Orders never come up"? The markers on the map are put by officers (Commander + SLs)

I've seen people talk about how they're thinking about implementing a Logistics Squad so resources and building can be more common

I bet there's lots of PS Plus players that are trying the game out who really aren't the audience for this game. Give it a month or 2 for only the players that actually care about the game to still be playing it. Things will be better then.

@@monoespacial that’s what I’m thinking as well

Most are.at.least Listening Just Order them around Works more often AS you might Imagine.

12 kills is still expensive vs using the artillery for the exact same result.

I disagree. I'd hate being forced to play under someone else's orders

@@monoespacial isn't that what you do all the time though? Isn't that what the role is there for? To give orders and direct the battle?

No, what I do as commander is set up good spawn points for the team. I do talk to the squads and let them know for example if we need to push to a particular area. Like "The enemy keeps attacking from the south, I need a squad to push south and clear them out. Able squad, can you do that?" But it's not like you're orchestrating some grand strategy that involves every single squad to do as you demand.

@@monoespacial gotcha thanks for clearing that up

Estremeo en twitch. Fíjate cuando estoy online y métete al chat

@@monoespacial capo no se ni lo que es twich soy un viejo

lol!
