A Noob in trouble

[That Miraidon]

I like this game and I've been trying to get better but I don't know what to do! Can someone give me some tips for getting better at this game?

Keep playing is really the only way to get better.

I've got 200+ online hours clocked, and I only consider myself "competent" with the game.

Ok, I guess It's time to do some research

1000+ hrs and i still learn things.... if units get changed in updates that can drastically affect how you use them

Use recon, use expensive units effectively, never put a unit in a fight it can't win, don't quadstack T-34-85's and be a spammer, and lastly don't waste units.

Wargame has so many varibles and units to put into decks it's hard explain to new players.

Try to play with people the same level as yourself, and use the AI to test different strategies with different units until you find something that works. It takes time but eventually you will get better, don't give up.

Drastically?

Not really.

Game is quite the same, people just make a big deal out of each patch.

yeh drastically might not be the best word but sometimes they basically nerf units so much that i dont use them anymore

ok i will try to do the basics a bit:

someone once said about CoH - 'this game is about counters, if someone fields a unit then field the counter to it' e.g. in CoH jeeps could spot and chase snipers and AT guns were good vs tanks and that sort of thing. the same basically applies in this game. if the enemy fields spetsnaz or Li Jian 90 in a forest then sending inf in will basically be a slaughter so either send in vehicles or tanks or bomb/arty/napalm the ♥♥♥♥ out of em. if the enemy fields a T72BU then dont send in 8 medium type tanks head on, you will get outranged and outgunned. the best thing i use vs heavy tanks is atgm planes or helis.

as someone said above, recon is vital. RECON IS VITAL. you cant hit what u cant see. recon inf are good at hiding and spotting. just note that your unit in cover stops flashing if you are spotted. most people play offensively by sending small recon units forward and then picking off units as they get spotted . so if you are spotted then you will need to reposition or pull back. sniper recon is extremely hard to spot.

if you are using artillery then ALWAYS MOVE AFTER U FIRE. you should expect counter arty fire so using roads to quick move is good. best arty pieces for nato are british AS90 and the AMOS mortar for sweden (amos has 2 cannons i believe). you can queue a command with the shift key. the AS90 fires three shots so fast move queued commands are great. MARS for nato is goood counter arty. i like the ONDAVA for PACT and obviously the smerch is great for counter arty

navy warfare is basically spamming the most amount of anti ship missiles u can. PACT Jianghu ship has good CIWS and the nato chamsuri has decent CIWS. the kongo and the sovremenny have outstanding aa missiles so they will shred any plane that gets close. the F18 ASM planes are decent to outrange them and the SU27K is good for it too

always take aa

you have to micro your radar aa or it wil probly die

move expensive aa if u kill something because most people try to arty it

go as far and fast as u can at the start but dont overrextend

protect your flank. an enemy inf squad in your base can lose you the game super easy

if you get better then dont noobstomp, you will learn nothing

Tips won't help you much. There are dozens of small tips, tricks abd details which you should keep in mind playing wargame. Lisitng them here is quite worthless. You'd better watch yourself how top players play and make your own suggestions from it. Here is the link to one of those top players channel https://www.youtube.com/user/Cr4sHeRX
