Thanks OP.

First for triggering wehraboos

LOL

neat

Ok OP, 2-3 threads ago, we discovered that to change the language back to english in GTMS you need to either use Notepad++ or Hex editor, doing so in normal notepad will not work, and make the game not launch.

The OP then (don't know if it was you) said he would update the pastebin by the next thread at furthest. he didn't.

I made an updated pastebin last thread, and you aren't incorporating it.

So please; either update the pastebin to include the new details yourself, alternatively add the new details to the description, or use this pastebin instead (uses same download links): pastebin.com/zje8tc0D

*GTMF

Nice keylogger faggot

Completely different OP--didn't see the pastebin. Sorry about that.

Np, just please make sure the next thread is updated

Thanks for fixing the thread user.
You're doing gods work.

Panssarijaakari in BMP-1 or BMP-2? If BMP-2, would it make sense to upgrade to '90s?

Don't bother with BMPs. They get shat on by tanks and other IFVs, just put them in a cheap transport.

aren't IFVs important? Almost all my inf tab is in 5pt BTRs.

Yeah, but not those ones since they're the worst IFV line aside from the nork ones.

not those ones? What else can I take.

In the same vein, should I bring T-55A or Charioteers?

lol

DELETE THIS NOW

>Krauts in charge of not brewing up

somebody show this to Robz

Don't listen to that guy, 10pt bmp-1 is great. BMP-2 is questionable but works for inner forests.

Personally I wouldn't bring any of those two tanks. Charioteers lack an MG so their suppression in forests is shit. T-55A has decent suppression but is a bit too expensive to spam in forests and a bit too shitty outside them. But if you wanna try for yourself, start with t-55a.

"Brew up"? How to understand this jargon? Non native speaker here, does it supposed to mean the tank burned down?

>Burger """identified""" """Tigers""""

It's antiquated so don't feel too bad for not understanding. It means the tank went up in flames and likely exploded.

British you dingus.

te34sting out robz mod SS faction

>militia unit costs as much as every other factions militia except has grenades, a panzerfaust, and some weapon skill
>their grenadier squad which costs the same as normal infantry for everybody else have multiple automatic weapons, 2 panzerfausts, an STG44, and semi auto rifles IN ADDITION TO BEING 5 WEAPON SKILL
Robz actually claims he isnt biased towards Germany

Is the 21st a joke? They have more leader cards than infantry in phase A

>all of their tank crews for every single vehicle are elite crews but still cost the same
>even support crews for machjine guns and AT guns are elite

They clealry can distinguish Gemran tanks, Mark IV, Panther and Tiger were all mentioned in this report.

But stay mad my Nazi friend :^)

Also just checked no arty/no mortar mode

He remembered to remove arty mortars from all of the allies when you have it set to no arty.

However, he """""""""""""""'forgot"""""""""""""""""" to remove Sturmtiger, Brummbar, and Infantry guns from Germany. Also conviently left this in for his new "balanced" SS faction

that's just so you have the option to take them in half-tracks

you don't have to take them, m8. I just go with 3x3 panzergrenadier for A, with leaders coming from support/tanks.

the kinds of players that you find in 10vs10

wew also realized that allied Self propelled arty has shorter range than German tanks now, so if you want to hit some giant kraut meme machine you have to get well within its firing range

Thanks.

Wargame 4 can't come soon enough

because I keep seeing people do this: don't attack-move flamethrower infantry that have rifles

either turn the rifles off first, or just tell them to move; they can use SMGs and flamethrowers while moving. otherwise, they'll stop and fire once they reach rifle range, which will do literally nothing and get them killed.

steel division is wargame 4
it literally says so in the game files

Well, Cold War themed one. Call it Steel Division '90 or something.

I just can't get into WW2.

>muh helispam
>muh atgm
>muh t80u
Fuck off you scum

I play Yugo mostly desu senpai, you can't do any of those 3 there.

>Cold War
>'90
>Not '84 or '79 etc

>'90
any wargame after '85 is just "NATO rapes everything without competition" and really isn't cold war. Fuck off.

>only faction that doesnt get small ammo boxes in their ammo trucks in robz is Japan
WHY
THEY ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY FACTION I NEED THEM FOR, MUH TYPE 89 MORTAR

A '64 Wargame would be pretty baws too.

Other than that, next time where there's Redfor: Blufor "parity" is in the '82-'90.

'70s would have been very one-sided with T-64 and T-72 facing off against Leo 1a4, Chieftain and M60A3 at best.

>thinking Yugoslavia will appear in any game ever again

Having actual recon/stealth mechanics and a tank hierarchy is nice too.
The reason everyone bitches about earlygame importance in SD is that the combat triangle is one-dimensional, once you fall behind in points you can't sidestep the enemy's advantage by investing in something completely different, because all the damn game has is tank and antitank.

ikr, blufor player suicides peaked when Reds DLC came out.

Guards Armoured soon lads! Hold in there!

this. It just feels flat thus far.

>tfw you have to wait till release for decent armored divisions

>he thinks there will be decent armored divisions in the release
If you don't want to play French or Nazis, you should just go play Combat Mission.

better delet this m8

I already am

How powerful are IEDs in squad

Just powerful enough to derail a thread due to autism

About 4x the power of the RPG Frag and will nuke cars or BTRs

can you make VBIEDS

Needs to be 70s and before

Wrong general faggot.

what did he mean by this?

Squad is a tactical wargame, fuck off

>pretending like you're not just here to shitpost

I don't care what it is, it's not part of /wgg/ period.

>fps
>wargame
No, it isn't. Go back to your own general, nigger.

Lindybeige is retarded when it comes to anything other niche parts of ancient history. Posting his face here is a direct insult

>Lets purity test ourselves guys
>It worked out really great last time guys

Literally what killed this general.

We don't want your literal autismo namefag anons that derail your shit threads, we don't want your shit game on our general, and most importantly we don't want you here.

So are you guys excited for Battlefront 2?

Literally does not matter. Squad has its own general. This is not it. It doesn't belong here. This is a general for wargames. Squad is not a wargame. It doesn't belong here.

this is a general for macro-management strategy games, not your shitty fps

No it's not, nothing is tactical about it

Folks wouldn't do it if it didn't work.

I'm not very good, and I'm willing to admit it. Supporting other players' pushes through towns and shoring up flanks with infantry and AT gives me a reason to live.

>Folks wouldn't do it if it didn't work.
lolno

Retarded players like me will always exist. The way I see it, it's better to have them spend their points on noob tubes and bombers than have them hold a section of frontline only to fail horribly and give kills and territory to the enemy.

My favorite part of 44' so far has been flying bombers in circles above masses of enemy infantry with no AA and watch them slowly try to scuttle away futilely before I bomb them to smithereens.

>paying $40 for DLC

Such is life when it comes to niche games like that.

Depressing.

Yup

Who /hangingupthewashingonthesiegfriedline/ here?

Too busy /havingarodeointokyoandaroundupinoldberlin/ desu

...

how do I get gud at mius front?
are there some tutorials I should watch or do I just bash my head against the wall till the ghost of von Kleist appears?

The latter, but only because I have questions I want to ask him. While you're at it, ask him if von Rundstedt would like to make an appearance as well.

Anyone got a link to that spirit of wargame video?
The one with the chinese cartoon about the czech paratroopers?

I watched some dude on yt playing a campaign to get the gist of what I should be doing.

It really is great.

I tried, but all I got was Ernest Rohm trying to sell me an itchy shirt

Second one even shot down a plane.

>They can use SMGs and flamethrowers while moving
Damn I didn't realise that. Maybe Ranger Assault squads are actually really good then

Every Ranger unit is amazing
>He uses Rifles

Could I make Kim proud with this deck?

>Ban-Tank Fagot

it was trash the last time you posted it and it is still trash
