Played the demo, and since I played terminator i will compare it with that
The good
>infantry uses trees, cars, everything as cover now, so their survivability is higher
>morale, suppression and stamina finally were added
>supposedly, infantry can carry different caliber same type weapons, so 5.45 and 7.62 at same time is supposedly possible.
>missions have an i sign spread which you can click to read about the events in slightly more detail regarding the local region
>vehicles have a chance to explode now on fire if they have ammunition/supplies (even if used up)
>mortar fire becomes more accurate if unit that has vision over area is a spotter (don’t know how to check that)
>same composer Edlise
The bad
>no encyclopedia to read about units or their stats
>no tutorial which teaches you mechanics, especially bad for a complete newbie to the warfare series or to explain in detail the new mechanics
The ugly
>same warfare engine, so shitty path finding, non optimal use of windows by infantry in buildings, no tube grenade launchers for rifles
>infantry does not use building exterior as cover, so they won’t peak out the corner
>missions are full of bullshit moments, but this is the series standard now. The command unit rushing to enemy position and dying because its full of Ukrs thus giving you a game over is a classic Cats who play mission design philosophy.
Its pretty raw at the moment, let the Rusbros playtest it before Steamchads will get their taste of the patched version.

>ugh they totally won at hostomel
Took full control of the airfield and not just outskirts only after the ground forces arrived but by that point it was made useless for any sort of air corridor,
>ugh the advance in Kiev and Irpin got fucked up sure
Those endless tank columns just standing there, menacingly, no, just standing, and doing nothing, god
Something tells me that you can't make much content with just the Hostomel, are they going to make up alt-history, well more than they already prolly did with using only RU accounts to not get gulagd. Or will they show how the elite VDV units which partook in Hostomel's gesture of goodwill, were later used in quite pointless human-wave tactics during the countless assaults of the ruin that used to be Bakhmut

Watched about half, here are some key points
>no tutorials/ encyclopedia/achievements because deadlines + they were expecting mostly series vets on first days to buy the game. When/if steam version is released, they will be added, along with achievements and ironman mode.
>Bucha map was made, but after a month they couldn't get it to make fun
>got a lot of criticism for 6th mission which according to soldier vets is exactly how things went down, but was simply not fun for players.
>steam version build was submitted, they are waiting for moderation to green light it
>2000 copies sold in first day, but they are happy with the result considering very limited release and taking into account their experience with Syrian warfare. Team was thinking they'd get 1000 copies in first week since vkplay is unpopular and gets 5-15% from Ru region compared to steam Ru region according to other companies' experience

They have been doing it... for free. Before this game there was a Syrian Warfare from the same devs made in 2016-2017 (!!!), with you basically playing as Wagner ain Syria. The real irony is that the first entry in the series was a game titled quite literally "Warfare" (2008) and it was about the US intervening in a civil war in Saudi Arabia. The devs went full circle from Ameriboos to Russian nationalists.

It's crazy how consequential this engagement ended up being. This one battle arguably saved Ukraine.
Airport gets taken, transports which were en route I believe would have immediately landed and unloaded, followed by heavy armor, followed by a relatively unchecked march to the capital.
I believe they had a unit of natl guard somewhere between the airport and the city but it would not have been enough to turn back the increasingly numerous troop and machinery being unloaded at Hostomel.
The details are fuzzy but there are some great breakdowns on YouTube on how it unfolded and how critical the outcome of this initial engagement became.
>>
>>2354130
Basically the Russian plan was to size the airport with a heliborne assault, deploy and supply an armoured column via airbridge and use it to drive into and occupy Kyiv, bypassing the defenses along the northern front. Basically a repeat of the Nazi invasion of Crete.
Whether there was ever any hope of success is an open question. The troops available in the region possessed anti tank weapons and still active air defenses would have made the airbridge risky even with somewhere to land. Rather than a turning point it was just symbolic of the hubris of Russia's planners. They went it expecting basically no resistance and their plans didn't survive contact with a capable and resisting enemy.

ukrainians used hostomel airport as a trap, they only had light infantry there without much experience, pretty much local militia
russians dropped their most elite paratrooper unit without any support and proceeded to get shredded by artillery the moment they took positions
helicopters alone couldn't secure the landing zone
russians never expected ukrainians to sacrifice the airport and put a bunch of craters in it. It was worth it

It is. Today a report was released stating that with the current tempo of operations, it will take 83 years of non-stop offensive warfare to take over Ukraine. Quite a stretch from the 3-day special military operation
>>

>>2368423
Realistically Ukraine does have western support though and will not fall in one year or two or apparently even 83.
Realistically if Russia wasn't a county of rabid subhuman vatniggers there would be no war at all. There still isn't any point to it. They would never be allowed to join NATO or the EU, but now after they were invaded and genocided for no reason, they're on fast track to join both. Incredibly funny and ironic

>>2368509
Realistically, a Ukraine in NATO is a mortal threat to any Russian state. War was inevitable so long Ukraine was in course to join NATO. It is a matter basic geopolitics. The European Northern Plain means that no Russian state can feel safe without the countries bordering Poland are not neutral or aligned to Moscow. NATO was designed to contain Moscow, and the countries in NATO have a long history of foreign interventions. There's a reason every single grand geopolitical chess master insisted that expanding NATO while keeping Russia out meant permanent hostile Russia. It has nothing to do with culture, ideology, personality, but an iron law of geopolitics.
>>
>>2368601
Who cares what russia thinks? They are not strong enough to impose their will. Their only realistic option is to adjust their posture and align with the west. Since they obviously don't want to do that war and decline are their fate.
Of course their desire to invade ukraine makes sense, as does our desire to defend it. Might makes right in the end and we have orders of magnitude more
>>
>>2368601
>War was inevitable so long Ukraine was in course to join NATO.
Before the invasion, Ukraine would never ever be allowed in NATO. Precisely not to provoke Russia. But Russia didn't need that to chimp out, they just made it up and attacked anyway.
>NATO was designed to contain Moscow
You can't contain the biggest country in the world by neighboring with it only from the western side. NATO was created to keep Russia from chimping out over the rest of Europe again and to keep Germany under control so they don't chimp out within Europe again
>There's a reason every single grand geopolitical chess master insisted that expanding NATO while keeping Russia out meant permanent hostile Russia.
There is no such thing as a non-hostile Russia in any universe. The entire existence of Russia rests upon endless hostility towards everyone around it. Authoritarian and now totalitarian states like Russia have to live in a constant mentality of "besieged fortress" to keep its subhuman vatnigger population obedient and oblivious to oligarch shenanigans behind the scenes.
>It has nothing to do with culture, ideology, personality, but an iron law of geopolitics.
It has everything to do with Russian culture, ideology, personality, and a XIXth century geopolitics mentality.

To add to this, nobody wants Russian land. Nobody wants to invade Russia. Nobody wants that barren wasteland with some resources here and there. Nobody wants it worthless population, not even Russia wants it population (which is why they don't care how many die in Ukraine for no reason)

Invalid argument. There's a reason Russia expanded the way that it did. These are the following regions where Russia/Soviet Union stopped expanding:
The Tien Shien Mountains
Siberia
Caucasus Mountains
Ukraine+Belarus
Why these specific regions? Because these are chokepoints and areas where a Russian state can anchor itself. It has nothing to do with culture or anything. Even if the Russians were made of French, they would have behaved in the exact same way. Culture doesn't shape geography. Geography shapes culture.

Subject 2:
I'm not Russian friendo. The world revolves around imperial conquest. The entire structure rest on the domination of the American Empire. It is the great linchpin of the modern globalised system since Breton Woods.
The western world didn't evolve. What happend is that after WW2 only two superpowers were left: The US and the Soviet Union. People may mask it, but they were two dominions in the simplest sense. The decisions that used to be made in Paris and London, or Berlin, now they were being done in Washington and Moscow.
Germany and Japan were conquered, and subjugated, and forced to adapt under the Pax Americana. Without it, they would have not de-Nazified. In the same vein, the colonial powers of France and Britain didn't cease to be colonial out of their hearts. They cease to be colonial because the indigenous populations mounted resistance, and the US realised it was a lighting rod for Soviet support. France is still a colonial power, with one of NATO's most active foreign policies in Africa and other places. the UK has colonial remnants elsewhere as well, including Northern Ireland.

Completed the first mission which and got to see how a bit of infantry customization. As for vehicles, you only get those that you can capture from the enemy, and I lost both that I managed to get.
It was quite long for a first mission, lasting well over an hour. You are pretty much going to scour through most of the map following main and all secondary objectives. Dunno how I would rate it for someone who isn't a Warfare fan difficulty wise. Stats say I took out 500+ infantry and 35+ vehicles but it felt pretty fair to me. At least with managing to intercept tank crews before they could use the tanks. That secondary mission seems pretty much mandatory since you don't get much in terms of anti vehicle weapons. Being mobile via transports was encouraged.
Pathfinding seem to be about the same as it was in Terminator, that is, significantly better that Syrian Warfare
UI is serviceable but I'm think SW had better view of vehicle modules and armor degradation.
Soundtrack, explosion, gunfire, vehicles and unit lines seem excellent. Character voices are scuffed as always.
Management section was stingy, but now you can give units medals to increase stats and buy them weapons without a store. My Rosguard squad had only AKs and I was able to give them a sniper, RPG and smokes with there being other options such as MGs, armor, radios, drones and such. From there you can buy upgraded weapons if you have their predecessors.
Performance seemed much better than Front Edge.
Overall it was pretty fun. Don't know how many missions there are in total but I read they planned to rework at least one mission for the Steam release.

Some other small things I noticed:
There are hiluxes and jihadmobils. Such as the one Georgians will bum rush you with.
All English voice actors seem to be Russian.
Enemy units that are under fire from multiple MGs and squads, even if in strong buildings and taking little damage will get pinned, suppressed and flee. As will units that have been decimated.
You can now evacuate any unit you wish mid mission.
I noticed they don't allow you to enter apartment blocks or a vaguely kindergarten looking building during the mission.
Helicopters seem less retarded and fucky to use.
Sprint on units is very much a welcome addition.
Cutscenes show a lot of real life footage. Some of it I remember seeing on /pol/ years ago as the war was unfolding.

>I'm not Russian friendo.
they are completely right about you though
>The world revolves around imperial conquest.
no, it doesn't - it's not a zero sum game
russia has the mindset of a 17th century despotism
i sincerely thought that they were moving towards integrating their economy with europe, with projects like nordstream etc, but then they chimped out and wanted their ukrainian banan because map bigger
the idea that european countries will ever go to war against one another is simply absurd at this point because they are so absolutely integrated and it would be virtually impossible to disentagle them at this point but russia remains outside as a basic economy refusing to have trust for mutual gain because they project their own backstabbing malice

It basically was.
The initial battle for the airport was a disaster in which an entire regiment of VDV (then russia's best troops by far) was stranded and essentially wiped out in a poorly-planned deep strike.
The following day, they attacked the airport again, this time with a much larger air assault and a follow-on mechanized force crossing the Belarusian border. This assault ultimately failed to capture the airport intact as the defender's had time to sabotage the facilities and withdraw, denying russia use of the air bridge their offensive plan had hinged on. The battle then ground for around a month in the nearby urban areas before russia was forced to cut its losses and retreat back across the border.
There's really just no way to frame it other than a decisive russian defeat, which is why propaganda like this game exists to rewrite the history that they can't spin.

No? It's just a half-finished Syrian Warfare/Terminator with a fresh coat of paint. There's no reason the demo for this game deserved its own thread when there's an ongoing syrian warfare/terminator thread on the catalog. OP was just trying to shill.
The only thing interesting or remarkable about this game is the fact that it's a comically blatant propaganda piece trying to rewrite the history of a lost battle on a still-ongoing war. And at the current pace of development it probably won't even release in time to still be a relevant propaganda piece.

Thread with the Terminator OP was a thread about good looking strategy games.
The demo mission was good. You weren't overstretched nearly as much as in Terminator, some of the defense and offensive work was given to an AI ally meaning you can work as a mobile strike group and secondary objectives weren't CBT to complete without prior knowledge. And unlike Terminator it didn't have any bugs in the earlier mission that made the already badly balanced missions and mission designs even more of a pain in the ass. If this is the quality I can expect from the rest of the game it is already better that base game Terminator. As for if it will be better that Return to Palmyra we'll have to see as that one has some of the best missions in the "series".

>>

The great thing about this image is that it's absolutely true. The western allies never made it far enough up Italy to have a significant impact on its industrial centers or threaten a breakthrough into the Axis heartland.
The maximum success achieved in Italy was in the initial landing and subsequent Italian surrender, which rescued the soviets from Operation Citadel. After that it was just a costly grind to keep ~1m axis troops pinned in an irrelevant front.
If the best you can claim is that you're advancing like the allies at Monte Cassino but everywhere, across the whole front, for 4+ years, at monumental human and material cost, then it seems that there has indeed been a critical misunderstanding in how modern warfare works

Cool vibe with the game. But I have the same problem as Syrian Warfare, the game throws complete asspulls at you that you WILL lose to without knowing it is coming. So if you dont have a save ready enjoy replaying the mission.
Also it is very micro intensive. Hopefully they stick with it like they did with Syrian Warfare because I want to see some later war DLC with having to dodge fpv drones.

Missions 1, 4 and 6 are great, with the rest being alright. First in particular is great because you are working in limited numbers, have to move around a fair bit and that forces you to scavenge some BTRs or hiluxes., in addition to being the longest. Fourth is pushing you on all sides while trying to attack a bunch of convoys. Sixth is mission 4 lite but there were some problems for me.
In mission with the stadium enemy vehicles spawned right in front of me as I was pushing the left checkpoint. In mission 4 enemy will spawn right up your ass if you don't advance with your whole group. Mission 5 had a similar issue with ATGM BTRs, transports and RPGs spawning in and immediately mauling my best infantry which was trying to take the zone, then a helicopter that wasn't mentioned once doing three attacks on the checkpoint building before SAMs finally got him, spotters squad that got themselves killed because AI was retarded and finally the secondary mission recon squad deciding to bumrush the middle of a fight between the aforementioned building, 5 enemy squads and two vehicles. Sixth one was all gas no breaks until the half way point and then the enemies just stopped coming in. Don't know if it's because I dealt with them too quickly or due to a bug. Then I need to clear two checkpoints in 10 minutes which I do and then sit waiting for something to attack as the convoys pass by. There was some minor attacks towards the end until the last stand. Also the early missions felt stingy with customization points.
There were some neat details I noticed. Captured vehicles would have "V"s plastered on them on the next mission, same types of vehicles had different kinds of luggage and letter placements and so on. I wish that Mariupol game they are working on brings back Terminator's vehicle customization, both visual and functional. Infantry customization is pretty much perfect.
I would rank it above Syrian Warfare and below Return to Palmyra

There's a way to get more points, just capture the Western weapons like NLAWs and Javelins and sell them so you can get more. They aren't too significantly better and you want your ATGM teams to keep the Metis since it can get HE rockets

>>
>>2373437Its technically still the first mission
But I sent 2 squads over there right away, cleared the area. Then just leave a squad parked in front of the tanks until the objective goes away. Multiple tank crews will make a dash for the tanks and if you just clear the first crew and leave you will get fucked later.

It appears they do yes. There's no ai supply runs or anything like that. On that note it's not really a simulation per say but the AI really just functions as a set piece for missions that you have to solve.

I guess it was some enemies hanging out on the edge of the map spotting me, because I killed them and was able to crawl my snipers much closer.

>use mortars to clear all the enemies snipers can spot

Correct.

Absolutely none of this is true, we have helmet footage showing the exact opposite.

You'll never be able to talk about this game because there's one or two obsessed autists that spam every thread with their bullshit like it's on /k/. They get deleted regularly but still come back.

The VDV are basically the marines and are just one unit. Even the VDV squad was destroyed (for which there is ZERO evidence) then there would be still many other VDV detachments. And VDV activity has been recorded multiple times since then one of which off the top of my head was in Chasov Yar.
>also Kyiv has fallen and the airbridge strategy worked and Zelensky is dead
The point was never to kill the green kike nor capture kiev. The point was to pressure ukraine to sign a deal. Which almost happened until the west got involved.
Why do you faggots keep making claims like this with zero evidence and which don't make logical sense to begin with (russian were totally aiming to capture kiev with 5 soldiers and an arsenal consisting of a shoelace) when there is recorded evidence of something that makes much more sense. Do you faggots genuinely believe this shit? Are you just trolling? Have you even bothered to check to story yourself or have just relied on 4chan posts are you news?

You must realise at this point that most of them(on both sides) all low IQ morons that jut choose team(country or football club, doesn't matter) and stick to it like some club fanatics. The other one are 3rd world paid shills, chat bots trained on them and influence pawns. It has nothing with logic, truth or facts. Just constant shitflinging

How do you explain the bounty on zelensky in the first days of the war, and how do you explain diversion and sabotage groups attempting to infiltrate kyiv? Remember how ukie civilians BTFO'd the infiltrators with the power of knowing a ukrainian school song?

>>2374419
NTA but the bounty was most likely made up and when there were some infiltrators(probably) the ukies were mostly shooting at each other especially after the weapons give away
both sides are unreliable and lying but ukies were making shit up openly

The entire invasion was based on an intelligence failure. Had Russia taken Kyiv, the whole thing would've actually been over in two weeks™ and people would be gushing over Russia's brilliance and the epic bacon VDV to this day. It's easy in hindsight to dismiss the entire invasion plan as retarded, but it was actually sound given the (in hindsight faulty) information they were acting on.
>the whole thing will come off as a much closer affair than we have let to believe
I think this is proven by Ukraine's performance on the Kherson front. They just let Russia waltz across the Dnepr and into the city uncontested, which is probably what Russia expected to happen on all fronts. That such a collapse happened anywhere at all shows that their assumptions about the state of the Ukrainian military weren't entirely wrong.
The most interesting question we'll probably never get a definitive answer to is why they decided to invade in the first place. Was it an opportunistic thing (Biden weak, Europe weak, intel tells us Ukraine will fold ez, let's do it now), or did they think their hand was being forced as Ukraine was about to join NATO or enter into some other kind of defensive pact with the west?

It was just a timing thing. Russia was always going to come back to finish what they had started in Crimea. The first time they did it, a combination of a weak Europe and a US with poor international credibility that was distracted in the Middle East made it easy to present a fait accompli and walk away with some token sanctions that were never going to outweigh the windfall from their territorial gains.
Fast forward a decade and you have a weak Europe, a US whose international credibility had been eroded by 4 years under an isolationist leader and you had the last remaining US military commitment in the middle east ending in ignominious fashion. US public support for more war was nil but the window would close rapidly since ending the Afghanistan deployment would mean freeing up a lot of resources which could eventually be redeployed elsewhere.
A strong US means a confident Europe presenting a united front and the risk of collective action. A weak US means a meek and divided Europe and next to no risk of any action at all.
For Kremlin power calculus it was either go now or wait for the US to become embedded in another quagmire and let another decade tick by until the stars align again. Putin probably didn't think he'd live that long.

>I dont even have AK ammo for half my units.
>Anon gets cut off by the enemy from resupply with no support in sight
>Enemy constantly denies them resupply by burning any munitions they could capture
That's shockingly faithful to the way things actually went for the VDV.

>The projection here is adorable. You are definitely the type of person to write off any dissenting opinions as 'blind contrarianism' without a hint of irony
I have no emotional attachment to the situation. Not like you, who sound not only emotionally invested but also argue like a woman. Personally these retarded mongoloids can slaughter each other for whatever reason they want to believe. So whatever rock your rocks. /chug/ or /uhg/ is this way. Go there and fight good fight.
