R.U.S.E DLC QUESTION

[badtatts]

So i bought the game itself from Amazon as a digital download. I then went and bought the two DLCs as well. It gave me activation keys for them which i entered in the game but nothing happened after that. Is there something else i'm supposed to do in order to see the new maps and ♥♥♥ army??

[Sadpan]

you enter them via steam, not ingame

[чорнаДуша]

Would you tell me where did you buy dls?

Amazon, it's literally in the original post.

You should be able to select Japanese amry at Battles or at Operations. And of course the maps.

Be aware crybabies think that japan is overpowered, so some people won't accept it in their matches.

I don't see why they would think that. They have their disadvantages. EG no flak other than the 75 mm which is killed by artillery easily not mentioning the fact it can't two shot aircraft like the 88 and the one from the armor base which is a bit expensive to research early on.

That's why I called the users against Japan crybabies (cause they do nothing but whine about it). They're powerful early game but still easy to counter, not to mention they have those issues you stated.

Oh finally. When I answered in another thread where the starter said he'd forbid japanese that they were only too incompetent to counter the Japanese, I was booed down.

The main problem with Japon when the DLC is allowed is that every player chooses it, thinking they have more chances to win.
And the early zero start push IS too strong and can beat every other air start, since the ♥♥♥ is a good player.

Don't insult people who wants to have fun without this annoying nation ^^"

I don't often see anyone using it when it is allowed to be used, so I don't think this problem exists. Well if you can't counter Japan, you are pretty incompetent. It's not an insult, it's a fact.

Ah ah, I was pretty sure you would say it ^^ I won't say that I played 3 300h this game and with some of the best players and you only 290h and surely with only randoms, 'cause you wouldnt accept such an argument.

I said that I want to "have fun without this annoying nation", not that I don't know how to counter it. I know how to. But thing is Japan's army is an annoying one and there are many points which make me think like that :

* The quick Zero start is really cheated. No nation is able to stop the 2 deps/1 af/ 1 para/full zero start with air. It's just impossible. UK may use 2 af start to stop it but then the UK player doesnt have enough money to play a long game, so after 5 min he's ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
* The arty base is really good. Someone said that "the 88 is worst than the ger one", but this 88 costs 20$ instead of 40. So you have to keep in mind you have a real heavy at gun in the *arty base* which costs only 20$ and without any research.
* They have an OP unit in the renzan. It OS any unit which is not armored and is too powerful. It resists to a shot from a 88 (german) and can survive after being attacked by a warhawk. It's aa is as good as Zero's one.
* The arty in the Proto base which is trully the best one with its fantastic range and power.
* The ho-ri which can quickly being a wall for any tank.

They also have many faults like the lack of a good aa or the Zero which is bad in late games, outclassed by the Spitfire. We can also think about the bad FB or the inf which isn't able to secure a city 'cause of the lack of at weapons.

And I'm not one of those who think that Japan is OP, I just don't like playing with and against it ^^
(oh and the few times I allowed the DLC in my rooms, there were like 1/2 of Japanese people when my game began)

290 hours plus several thousand offline. I've been here since the beginning, 2010's beta was one hell of a fun time. If we're saying japan is annoying, through your logic, Italy is super obnoxious as well. Spamming light tanks that can be killed by anything except light infantry. I do see your point on how it could be annoying though.

People can say what they want, 1v1 ♥♥♥ vs another nation they can easily be countered, however in a 3v3 format where if people on the team of the ♥♥♥ can provide the assets which Japan lacks you really are in deep trouble.

The only time I think Japan becomes truly overpowered is in the late game (their proto units are nearly unstoppable), therefore the key to playing a good ♥♥♥ player in a 3v3 matchup is to keep them from building the funds required to go full ♥♥♥ proto

As for your offline experience, dredditor, it has no bearing on this discussion because the AI don't use logical strategies (I mean they barely recon for christs sake)

Anyway I personally don't enjoy playing against a ♥♥♥, but that being said I'll never leave a lobby due to someone playing Japan or say something like "no ♥♥♥" if I'm hosting

I'm amazed to see that ppl still play R.U.S.E., I used to play it on xbox, and it's pretty much dead over there.
Can you suggest some ppl that still play on windows for me to add?
