Daily challenge:Kill 5 US forces trucks/half tracks in a match ??

[BiggieCheese]

I don't like to complain but how do u expect people to accomplish these things? What US forces player or AI is making 5 trucks/half-tracks a match or am i supposed to just pray i get matched up against an all US team that spams half-tracks? Please don't make challenges that are totally reliant on your opponent building a certain unit type or at least drop down the number we have to destroy. Anyone have tips on how to complete these?

the best way to complete challenges, and the what feels realistic and intended way is to ask a random online, or a friend to challenge trade, or to say another way, you ask another person who owns the game to enter a match with you, build 5 half tracks as US, and let you kill them. while you build up stuff for them to complete a challenge off you, since i don't have that challenge you mention ( i have kill 8 allied vehicles with the africakorps smaller field gun in 1 match. and build 50 tank traps as UK in 1 match) they aren't the same so you can probably set it up where you both can complete one challenge a map and finish it. or if you can't just do 2 matches. and then boom you both completed your challenges in a controlled environment, because a lot of the challenges aren't realistically possible against ai players.

i personally wonder if they are doing this on purpose to try to get people to create online games more often to rig these challenges, and then use the increased number of lobbies open due to this, to pump how big their online community is for marketing reasons.

I barely seen Ai building Halftrucks even on Very Hard and Expert difficulty. This challenges doesn't make sense unless you are doing COOP with a friend.

SP and COOP against an AI is just impossible. Same thing w/ light armored vehicle destroying vehicles is just impossible against AI. Some Light Armored vehicle is not recognize by the challenge like Marder and Stuart Tank even though those vehicle benefit on light armored upgrade tech.

Devs definitely not properly tested this challenges!

my favorite way to play matches for challenges that don't involve vehicles is to take a standard western germany ai, and just base rush them on a 1v1 map with mg's

1 mg and your starting engineers can normally camp an exit and take on any flankers if you build them some sand bags, from there its build more mg's while rushing to a medical truck. with about 5-6 mg's you can cover their entire base and slowly cap the entire map with a engineer and build supply points on whatever you need more of to do your challenge. so if you need to say build 50 tank traps in a match, as you slowly point drain the enemy. (which you can control how fast that happens by capping the star points as you want, even only capping one, leaving one uncapped, and letting them keep the 3rd. for a very long match.) you have all the time in the world to do so, and enemy will at least in my experience only produce infantry. (and one flak gun that i've seen) and die/get suppresed being unable to do anything, even the flak gun couldn't set up without getting knocked out due to 2 mg focus. medical truck stops them from ever wearing you down and leaving a opening open for to long. if you do have to fall a mg back to base, your 2nd mg can move back to the first ones spot, move the 1st mg back up to the 2nd's spot when it heals. and etc for 3-5. if you have a challenge to kill things or infantry with x just move the mgs away and cover the exits with that thing once you have the line secured. this should work for everything that isnt vehicles. but all the vehicle challenges are screwed anyways, best bet is to ask players to challenge feed for those. no idea how to rig those with ai yet.

I got "Kill 5 weapon teams with snipers in a single match" today... I'm just not going to bother with this anymore

Skirmish, Annihilation mode,

3 spots on your team (being Extreme AI, a Very Hard AI and yourself) and 4 AI as opposition (all just Standard) on the other team. Pick which factions necessary to get the reward (If you need US trucks, then make them all US).

If they all make 1 truck each, you have 4 to kill straight away.

It can be tough to beat since there will be a lot of units storming across the map at you, however you can still meet the challenges even if you don't win the map.

Stop going out of your way to do these pathetic challenges for chump change so Relic realizes they suck and remove them or change them to things that can be easily accomplished in real matches. Just like any other game with "daily quests".

[Bresker]

Yea the challenges are straight out BS, the best ones is when you are playing as allies because you don't want to wait 10 mins for match and the challenges are Axis or the BS ones you mentioned above.

[Hussarius®]

Challenges are unnecessarily complex at the moment. It should be something simple like "Play 5 games as USF." Games with these kinds of stores do that elsewhere. (Vermintide 2 instantly comes to mind)

Until more consideration is put into the way challenges are made, I wouldn't drive myself crazy. Hopefully we'll see a positive change by next patch.

Do it like AOE2 and allow you to build custom maps to complete these challenges without having to go out of your way or hope the enemy builds it so it can be completed

What i am realy wondering about..... when they designed that Challenges the first time...... didnt anyone say hey guys this realy wont work? Did they never play vs each other before? Or do they have so incredible braindead people on team? Or didt it someone who never played the game?

Actually this one isnt that bad when ive done those challenges it seems to count individual models as 1 point of the 5 so really you just need to snipe 5 members of team weapons not completely wipe 5 team weapon squads(which is what the challenge seems to be telling you to do)
