Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront

Although I really like the historical accuracy the game holds, all of the vehicle and weaponary types represented in the game and graphics(especially the effects) are way better than the ones in MOWAS2 there are still too many problems which can't be ignored. The difficulty in this game (especially in dynamic conquest) isn't achieved through complex decisions from AI but rather its overwhelming numbers, even if you are the one attacking, AI will have WAY MORE units than you have, just to compencate for it being too braindead. This way even if it stupidly wastes all of its tanks and artillery you'll eventually miss just one howitzer or CS tank which will destroy your only AT gun, and you couldn't take more of them because you can only take a very limited amount of units. Path finding still sucks despite all of the updates, you'll hate it especially if you'll try to tow some larger guns (like 8.8), it will constantly unattach just cause the truck drove past some rock, other truck or bridge(you better avoid them, they are very glitchy, better cross the river nearby). Instead of running behind your defencive lines, your units will run like maniacs through active combat zone, just cause this route was 0.1 inch shorter. Although I liked the british singleplayer campaign and Airborne was ok, I guess. I can't say the same about majority of missions the other nations have. You usually either defend or attack. Defence doesn't suck as much as attack does, still you usually have like 10-20 minutes to build a defencive line which will usually hold very well and almost nothing will change till the very end of the mission. Attack missions are usually the worst. You are given a couple of tanks and squads, you have a large map filled with enemies. What do you mean you need at least 3 times more forces than your enemy has in order to sucessfully attack him? Forget it and use a couple of squads to clear out the whole defencive line, what a great game about the bloodiest war in history with some insane battles!!! Other than that, you can fully dedicate yourself to only one small section of the entire map and there's no friendly AI which could attack aswell to simulate the scale of the bloodiest war in history. And as I previously said, all of this is not really relevant for Commonwealth's campaign, but Soviets, Germans, Finns, and Americans, let's just say weren't as lucky as Tommies were.

Great game, really fun gameplay overall. Great modding platform as well I recommend MACE it's really good.

Game would be cool sadly as RTS game, most important things dosnt work. Optimization is a joke. Pathfinding also is a joke, units often just ram each other, block, drive reverse etc (for example my own vehicles rammed into ammunitions which blow up them and ammo ) Its very annoying with controling units, u cant just select u entire army (maybe propably cuz pathfinding is garbage and they will just try to go into one spot), but its annoying when u just wants for example select two squads. No formations. Theres should be option to lock grouping, u just should have possibility to select all squads/vehicles u wants, but they shouldnt group into one thing where u lost icons and info about some units, for example u select engineers and regular infantry and voila now u dont know where are engineers. I just think devs focused too much on textures, effects etc instead of making this game playable, its RTS game with a lot of missing stuff which should be in game like this, u fight more to make u units doing what u want than just having fun from playing, i guess its propably because its just a "dlc" for call to arms which is maked on very garbage engine. Ofc not everything is bad, like i said, all other stuff which dosnt include gameplay is really cool and fantastic, sadly its a game so gameplay should be on first place, i hope devs will improve it, including optimization.

Great game! I truly appreciate the historical realism of this title.
