Wargame: Airland Battle

Sadly missing the great feeling of Wargame:European Escalation, and with badly implemented and hugely unrealistic air combat added. Not recommended. Buy the first one to see why everyone loves Wargame or buy Red Dragon to get the latest and best; because in both EE and ALB bugs or glitches haven't been fixed, even though they're known for a long time (Raketenjagdpanzers 2 model comes to mind, for a small, but imo telling example)

artillery seems to fire faster in this game :).

A better PVP game than anything. The single player(could be used as a tutorial) is not persistent. Despite all the detail, the ground detail, the unit detail, all the cool nifty animations and a genuine tactical real time simulation; in single player the persistence is very much lacking. Your divisions(units) persist battle to battle, but the maps do not. If you set up a killer spot on a map after a difficult fight? Expecting you will be able to maintain this spot the next time the baddies show up and attack. No, doesn't work like that. The maps seem to have a predefined start location. Makes for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ strategy game mechanic for a game(seemingly) dedicated to strategy. Pretty much killed it for me. I might have gotten into it, might have gotten into PVP, but the single player was so terribly put together due to persistence issues that it was a buzz killer. Basically, when you realize all that fighting, setting up the positions from before, all that you did? Basically means nothing for THIS NEXT fight because you will start in the same spot you did before(as the map reset basically to default starting positions). In single instance games? PVP? That's where the game shines. One map, one battle and your 'deck'(selection of units to comprise your 'division' or whatever its called). Despite how it looks it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ strategy game(Macro, big map). However, it IS more 'RTS' style(starcraft, total war battles style real time) milsim(realistic movement, vision limits, range limits, armor, et all based on the real stuff). More micro tactical - unit to unit. Shines in many vs many PVP single instance battles. Defining the terms precisely to paint the picture. I got it all cause friends were playing it, was fun even for novice level players in that regard(facing dumb AI). But would have played a lot more if the campaigns weren't so terrible!

the AI cheats all the time, making the game extremely frustrating to play. a shame. And the campaing mechanics are not good something that will be refined in Red Dragon. Overrall I would say the worst out of the 3 games.

Nach all den Jahren immer noch ein Strategie-Hit.

I really recommend this game to others as it can be really fun at times (mostly all the time). Though it can be really tough at times as well, don't try and play it like command and conquer.

На первый взгляд игра стоит своих денег с одним но. Дальше учений игру не стал разбирать досконально, так как учения "Совместные действия авиации и техники" ограниченны умом разработчика и негативно оценивает эту игру со стороны логики. У НАТО почему то нет наземных ПВО. Вертолет разведчик НАТО разбирается самолетами СУ противника, к тому же присутствуют ПВО "Шилка", что вообще в ноль превращает прохождения этапа учений. Защитить вертолет разведчик НАТО не успеваешь. Почему в этих учениях НАТО нет наземных разведчиков - непонятно, почему нет наземных ПВО НАТО - непонятно. В общем неоднозначный обзор. Отличнейшие учение первые 4 с показаниями сбалансированной техники и их функции на поле боя. 5е полевое учение это просто издевательство над пользователем, либо разработчик просто забил на баланс.
