I hate ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but....
For the first time am playing the military side o f the game and it sucks!!!!!! Who in their bloody right mind says a APC can survive a tank? Not only a tank but three jet bombers? Worse yet when vehicles go in the water, think troop transport ship, they can survive submarine torpedoes. Even more hilarious is it takes 5 shots from the submarine to sink it. Not bloody likely! Worse is the sound effects. Tanks sound like they are shooting machine guns or how about the jet plane bombs that drop a bomb with a thud! A thud equals near enough to a dud bomb. This is stupid. I spent an hour getting nowhere in attack because the almighty APC. I built tanks because tanks kills APC. The helicopter is in Civ 6 useless it dies in minutes. Really is that the reality in the real world. No, helicopters can play the role of tank killers. If they are sneaky enough they will destroy tanks and any other vehicle. Also what is dumb is that the cities have machine gunners defending them. You say what is the problem with that, well bullets really suck in water and the likelihood of them hitting anything is so low to be laughable. I say this because my machine gunners all most sank a sub. Where in this Civ is the Wart Hog or the B1 bomber. I still cannot believe a APC against a cannon does not destroy it. This version of Civ is screwed up! Whether it is the AI continuing to do religion, or in this game religion and tourism, war when that victory is turn off. Or the mighty APC that is in destructible.
I find that the in game Civ help useless. I had three mobile artillery vehicles disappear on me when they entered the area near a city that I had nuked. I am guessing it was because of radiation. That is cool but really could you not tell us about that? By the why try looking this up in the game help you will find nothing. (Time to look things up online.)
I know not to buy Version 1 software or game, but this is Civ. Yes the space version was a dud and some say even version 5 of Civ was bad but this a nightmare.

Get rid of 1 unit per turn and theres some hope for this game. Its why the AI sucks so bad.

Well, the combat is not exactly known for realism. You can attack helicopters with muskets and cannons. Crossbowmen can dammage tanks. The idea is that the cities are supposed to be able to attack any unit, and when you progress through the ages the attack becomes stronger, so they use an era appropriate animation to show the attack, but the animation doesn't realistically reflect the offensive capabilities of the city (like being able to attack submarines or air units). So a lot of this is done for balance reasons, otherwise everyone would rush science everytime. Some of this could be allievated with better pacing, however this is nothing new and shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has played past civ games.

There's APC's in this game?

And yeah, nuclair fallout is damaging, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shock.

And can you take your realism complaints someplace else. This is Civ, a series where in past games a Pikeman could take down a tank. Gameplaywise, it's always been weird.

Phew comlaining how unrealistic a videogame is.
Well, lets start that the human evolution through the ages is too fast in this game. This is unrealistic as hell. And I´ve never seens real-life progress turnbased.

It's almost as if a game about empires that last for 6000 years with leaders that live equally as long, a game where you can build jet fighters without having ever researched wheel, a game where wars can last for hundreds and hundreds of years - as if a game like that might be a tad unrealistic.

You missed the point or I did not explain well enough. The APC is the king unit and that should not be. And yes this is unrealistic but the point was about the APC. The rest was b....ing. As for fallout Civ 5 did not kill a unit within a fall out zone.

Mechanized Infantry and Modern Armor are equal in power, but the tanks are faster and can have promotions that make them stronger against infantry whereas infantry doesn't get anything to make them better against tanks. Other promotions make the units versatile in different ways.

Also, most of your post is about how unrealistic everything is. If your point is a different one, maybe structure your post better.

I suggest you delete all local Civ VI files, format your HD or SSD, get a new monitor and then push it all off the desk. If this doesnt work at first you may have to try it a second time.

It's a nightmare.

Andrew considers himself an AI expert.

He should be fired for this mess.

"Diplomacy will be dynamic, changing as the ages evolve and as the leaders show their character", said Andrew Garrett, an A.I. expert, in an interview with GamesBeat.

“Players need to understand why their AI opponents are making decisions they are,” Garrett said.

"We’ve rewritten the A.I. from the ground up, learning all the lessons that we had from Civilization V, so we know how best to solve some of these problems in military combat and so forth." - Ed Beach

Pretty funny to read now that the game is released.

They haven't got a clue what they are doing.

I agree, I screwed up. Thank you for your post.

This article makes sense. https://warisboring.com/conquering-the-world-is-a-pain-in-the-ass-in-civilization-vi-72276f71e4b3?source=rss----2ce4bbcf83bb---4. Llike the space version of Civ, Civ 6 removes combat from the game and focas on other ways to win.

well i have to say the excessive mocking or trolling againsts the Op is a bit over the top. Yes CIV is not a realisiic game in terms of combat. Some aspects are done for balance. IF earluer units could not damage more sophisticated units at all, then the more advanced player would only end up dominating the weaker AI ( or players) even more.

However I think i partially understand wher hes coming on some aspects of his post. I agree that Aviation in CIv 6 is underwhelming compared to Civ 5.

We no longer have proper Anti tank gunships but a light utiility gunship, and Bombers dont do as much damage as in the last game.
