Men of War is okay. I have it. I like it.
It's very technical. You need line of sight for everything. Tanks need escort units and spotters. Units can be hidden in trees and buildings. Every faction can hide AT Guns and emplacements. Everything is valuable. A single soldier with an AT grenade can disable a heavy tank or outright destroy a lighter one. So it is important to have spotters.
When tanks are de-crewed, you can recrew them with pilots. Even enemy tanks can be recrewed and stolen. And when you run out of ammo, you have to call a resupply truck. You can drive a fast vehicle into the enemy's backfield, hook up with his artillery battery and tow it away, stealing it.
Artillery is extremely powerful. A Katyusha barrage can take out multiple tanks, if they are close together.
Urban warfare is fun too, like the video shows. There are a lot of things for infantry to do. Tanks can even drive straight through buildings, if the tanks are strong enough. Or if an enemy tank is on the other side of a building, you can fire a piercing shell and hit it.

Coh is more fun for online for sure because the action is faster paced and you don't have to micro every single men.

this game is horrible.
it is indeed true that you have to micro every unit in the game 10 times more than a sniper in eir, but this unit will die at once if you make one little mistake.
but most of the times this mistake is inevitable because every single unit can cloak. even when you have LOS of where the unit should be hes still cloaked.
and the microing itself is impossible coz of the crappy controls. you cant even move the camera with the keyboard... WTF?

It's like CoH but on hyper realism mode, which makes it ridiculously random and extremely punishing.

Akranadas' Greatest Hits, Volume 1: Vet has nothing to do with unit preformance. We are serious about enforcing this, and I am sure you all want to be able to have your balance thought considered by the development team with some biased, sensationalist coming into your thread and ruining it. |

though sad part is
heavy tanks are useless when you are facing off a infantry spammer. Bazooka, shreck, piat ANY HAND held at that shoots projectiles penetrates ANY armor from ANYWHERE. Its very sad that I can easily shoot a KT or Pershing from frontal armor and only lose like 7 points where enemy loses 100 points worth of a unit.
Talented infantry players are bitch to fight against tbh. Infantry micro is so good in it. Handgrenades that can be set to blow in air etc.
I remember when I blew some randoms T29 with a Dynamite. He was not happy

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

Yeah but if you have a spotter you can spot those guys. And not all AT weapons penetrate from the front.
