A new guy's perspective

First off, love the mod. It is in a large sense, better than the actual original game.

One thing, however, and it is a big thing... it is extremely demoralizing, as a new player, with entry level companies, to play against the more advanced companies out there. I do realize that the veteran players enjoy using the companies that they spent time to develop. I can respect that, I am sure I would too. I also realize that to some extent the potential for loss on my part is rather low, in terms of risk vs. reward, since generally my units have little or no veterancy. However, it is discouraging to play, simply put it is not fun. Not to mention that it is significantly harder to develop veterancy with the heavy losses incurred in these battles.

The obvious conclusion for me is to outright avoid playing the more advanced companies, which is not explicitly easy since there is no way of knowing a given player's level of advancement prior to actually being in game. The shame is that I will wind up playing less games, making the uphill march even longer. But to continue being easy points, feeding already strong opponents more strength, and gaining little for the loss, simply feels foolish.

I would hope the developers could consider the steep curve for newcomers in an estabilshed system - where the actual number of players does not support readily made games for same levelled players easy - as something which needs attention.

Even though it was my 1st time, even though i lost, even though i lost 1 out of 4 tanks, i still managed to put up a good fight against cozmo(you might remember him from the ingame tutorial

)

Battle Records

Infantry Killed: 80 Infantry Lost: 41
Vehicles Killed: 2 Vehicles Lost: 1

Yes, veterency makes a difference. But strategy is way more powerfull,
people with veterancy units will be watching the veteran units more closeby than observing strikes of oppurtuity (no offence).
This is my opininion.

I'm not sure what Cozmo's Tier / Veterancy status is, and I mean no offense to him (he did the community a great service by making it), but having made the tutorial has nothing to do with the quality level of a division.

And really my point was not so much about the experience after 1 or 2 battles, but how it drains you losing game after game, gaining little CP / vet. After time it is demoralizing. That's all.

about the tutorial, it was not ment in a serious way (again, no offence)
its just that you try to understand WHY you lose, and you try to improve yourself. I just lost bigtime against Thtb (lost 2 tanks and some infantry)
i saved the replay and see how he plays and where i did wrong.

EDIT: i'd like to add that i got about 3 vet 1 units from my battle with cozmo.
