Terrible game
It is such a stupidly poor UI and micromanagement hell, that you know the developers did it deliberately, so that it would take 100's of hours to get gud! in mastering the needlessy bad UI.
You will spend hours watching your units do incredibly self-destructive moronic things, like wandering in front of a tank, while also enjoying the insane immunity of anti-tank guns to MG fire and mortar fire. In my last game, one guy literally ran away from my mg units pushing an anti-tank gun the entire way. He spent the next 10 minutes criss-crossing the map, getting fired upon the entire time by two mg. At one point, while running away under mg fire, he instantly twirled and one shotted a tank that had appeared 700 meters behind him around a corner.

Absolute nonsense, for starters this game has the only maps that actually looks like Normandy (I know because I lived there for several years), and the extensive OOB's are historically accurate and the myriad of vehicles and troops lovingly recreated, and there is plenty of variety with excellent graphics throughout too. The devs really understand the Normandy campaign and because of that the game feels just right.
Gameplay is really enjoyable especially if you play at slowed down speed with lots of pauses to look over your forces and see what's happening. Use your brain to plan tactics and especially use the line of sight tool to help you. This isn't COH2 you know, you need some intelligence to play this.
As for "taking 100's of hours to master the useless UI" that sounds more like the Graviteam games to me! I've not been playing long but I soon got to grips with this game (unlike Graviteam) because unlike that game there are a series of first class tutorials, and if you can't understand the game after taking the time to play through those then I'm afraid there is something wrong with the way you are playing the game, not the actual game.
SD1 and 2 are my favourite WW2 strategy games for a reason.
The only thing that's toxic around here is your post mate.

Sd44 is the best tactical rts ever made. Yes its hard and not for wide audience. It was an Eugen experiment. They will never make such a great game, because they need money. There are not so many good, wise rts players in this world, so.

k boomer?

But seriously, it's a pretty hard game to learn. "Micromanagement hell" - well I guess that makes any micro-intensive game bad. Like - any good RTS ever...
