no thats not what I meant, it has to be all of us who pays more, just a couple of donations wont do, Okay, so somehow whole wargaming fandom has limitless money to buy games for higher prices but at the same time it would be only a couple of donations? Makes no sense. There needs to be a balance th...

PS I would gladly pay more for the games, as they are so niche, One neat thing that Bandcamp has is a pay what you want button so if one is loaded and wants to offer extra support to artist, one can pay more than the price. But on the other hand, on only knows if the game is special only after play...

and most of the time the AI opponent controls full formations, not individual units. Interesting. It suggests that there are times when AI opponents does control individual units. For example when a mechanized infantry unit has lost its transport. So it's only when formations fall apart? Or does th...

So, I was watching a ton of combat footage from Ukraine and I realised that formations in AB are wildly optimistic.
Like there are often armoured attacks where a platoon occupies same about one square instead of having massive spacing like in AB.

My problem, however, is how to simulate the chain of command in a realistic manner. You can't do it in Armored Brigade. When it comes to units, Tank company still needs a tank HQ. IMO buying whole company makes sense if you're playing a regiment, otherwise platoons are best way to go, since a compa...

Nice to see you doing maps again. Is there any way I could help with grunt work? Like I'm NEET nowadays, so I could try doing some maps. I was trying to start making maps by myself but could get through the get the SRTM data part.

Sort of interesting situation. Does the author avoid the gamplay artifacts from AB? Like for example just the situational awareness and communication - instantly knowing what all units see, no friendly fire, all units getting info about enemy, etc. in the game distorts the action a lot. There are so...

Woodland camo? Agreed, not the best. But scratch a shallow hole to lie in, rub dirt into the uniform, attach pieces of scrub/vegetation to it, surely you'd be invisible to anyone more than 50m away unless doing something stupid. But to be identified and destroyed at ranges of +1500 m every single t...

Well, this didn't work out. I sincerely hope that your next game uses scripting (or else ChatGPT!) with pre-made (handcrafted) scenarios, because the "dynamic AI" in AB is pretty bad. It does do a fine job of simulating Soviet ineptitude, but is otherwise pretty hopeless. Which is a shame...

Armored Brigade can have a 10 hour long battle on a 15x15km map.

Most important keys for beginner: space - pause/unpause tab - accelerated time f - fast move a - advance s - scout d - defend For mortars and arty units: t - target he y - target smoke u - target illumination After some time the game says unit is ready to fire. i - fire one salvo - can be pressed mu...

Like there's lots of tasks that are done during deployment during larger games that aren't necessary the most fun of the game and saving game during deployment and facing a different enemy deployment every time when pressing the start button would be a major labour saving. Yeah, there's deployment e...

I don't think war in Ukraine can be simulated since there are no mechanics for drones.

Having that feel on and off since 2016, I think. I have this idea of a series of settings that is basically a hell for warmongering soldiers and their leaders and such. Like where cities are just military bases with no civilians. And something like levels of power and stuff. Like I'm using it in my ...

I played it on Wine on Linux and now I play it on SteamPlay.

From my observation, with all the advances, something critical is always missing because of limited development time/programmer abilities. Very frustrating.
