Tips&Tricks for AG

Hello!

I was wondering if you have any tips and tricks for SD2 Army General in burning baltics as Germans, during the campaign?

I have tried about 3x times to succesfully somehow win the campaign as germans.
Everywhere the soviets have superior units and numbers. I tried to outmanouver them, but no success.
Maybe there's some advice where to concentrate my units more and which parts of the front I should start to attack or pressure more to liberate Tukums city and Jelgava?
Is it even winnable as Germany in Army General?

New player, some questions

Hello guys, new player here, I’ve some questions that maybe the veteran players could answer…I usually play with SS divisions but I struggle in the tanks game…how did you use your PzIV and Stugs? Once they’re dispatched on the field they’re literally destroyed by t34s a Is tanks, and I can’t understand how use them…same for tigers and Panthers…also, how you counter the AT guns? As said, I’d like to play German SS division, how your build your decks?

Why is there no AFK kicker in-game?

This game has been out for years and one of the biggest plagues in this game has always been AFK players who either missing multiple phases or just never show up.

Everyone in the community know who the AFKer's are, there are multiple Rank 50+ players who just AFK in every game and suffer no repercussions ruining it for everyone,

What am I doing wrong?

I am using the 2nd Infantry "Indianhead" division and I am playing against AI. Phase A and B are completely fine but Phase C is a slug for me. I cannot attack well as when I try they always have a Pak killing my AT and a tank to kill anything more fleshy. I cannot use tanks as they'll get torn up by the German Paks and I cannot use my own AT to kill tanks as their Paks always kill my AT. I try to MLRS them but it's just never enough, What can I do?

The battlegroup I use

Winning the Arty War

Need advice on artillery usage and counter battery. People say the counter battery order is good to use but every time I turn it on my artillery gets smashed by my opponents artillery. So I'm either wasting points for nothing or my opponent gets to just blast me unopposed.

Chance to hit, explanation

Hi everyone i am just looking for answer about chance to hit. Yesterday but also many times before i had 100% chance ti hit and also 100% to penetrate but my AT gun would miss it. For example Yesterday same thing, Panther A, 200m away and side shot, 100% hit chance and 100% pen. My AT missed 2 times and got killed. Is chance to hit not final calculation? How does it work? Shouldn't 100% mean guaranteed hit? I remember in Normandy 44 percentages worked well

Thanks in advance 😊

Semi-auto rifles shoot slower than bolt-action ones, according to in-game stats (G43 vs K98)

Is it too late to get this game and play multiplayer?

I generally only play MP. Is it possible to hop into multiplayer and find games at any time? I am on the US East Coast for Time zone.

Thanks!

Difference between SD2 and SD:N44 mechanically

I picked up SD: Normandy 44 on a sale for dirt cheap to dip my toe into deck-based RTS games, but it got me wondering what the differences are between it and SD2 besides the setting and lack of Army General mode. From a mechanics standpoint, how is SD2 different from Normandy '44?

10v10 Nature Observation:

Species Information

Common Name: 10v10 Pro

Scientific Name: Wehrabonicus Spurcitia

Special Trait: This organism has adapted an incredibly slow metabolism. This adaptation has caused the usual measure of Actions Per Minute (APM) to result in uselessly small fractions. Experts recommend the use of Minutes Per Action (MPA) instead.

Natural Habitat: NOT A or B phase

Behavior: Attack other organisms for fighting poorly while having made no effort itself.

The video has timestamps in the description to assist in your efforts to learn about this organism.

https://youtu.be/eXeGjsMkR3s

[No, this player's name is not actually 10v10 Pro, and I don't want to cause trouble for them. Names are censored for that reason. It was too much of a Twilight Zone moment to pass up.]

Fw 189 A-2 observer?

In the Bobruisk campaign, the Germans have Fw 189 A-2s that have “artillery observer,” but they don’t have any strikes. Why is this? Thank you.

Why are people like this. both in terms of their comments and their gameplay decisions

Edit: I never got a response from them after the game started

Does anyone know how exactly the 'blast' stat works?

First of all, is it the blast radius in cm or something (e.g. 5000 would be 50m radius)? And how does it affect the damage? Does it follow some inverse square law where the damage gets divided by the distance from the target squared, etc.?

We had any news since Dukla map?

Any comments anywhere from Eugen acknowledging this game exists. It kinda feels like they forced out the work they had mostly done (Dukla) and dropped support quietly as to not harm what little sales the game has.

Sorta doomsayer-y of me, but yeah.

Edit: Fortunately, my doomsayer nonsense is wrong. Sweet.

ATKPWR says the primary function of fighters is to engage and down enemy planes. Is this true even for planes that have the close air support trait?

Is it worth it to let these types of fighter planes engage infantry/mgs/support weapons?

Campaigns like Normandy 44?

I loved the campaigns from SD: Normandy 44. Is there any modded content that does something similar? Or other games?

Do artillery leaders give the radio trait to artillery units that don't originally have it?

I just saw a vid of hobotango where one of the pros says this. It may be updated so asking just to be sure.

Good intro games to deck-based rts?

I've played some of Eugen's base-building RTS games, specifically R.U.S.E and Act of Aggression and enjoyed them, especially R.U.S.E. I've been eyeing SD2 for those WWII vibes, but tbh the whole thing looks I credibly complex and micromanagement heavy, and I'm not sure how I feel about the deck-based aspects of the game. So my question is, are there any deck-based rts games any of you would recommend to get me used to the mechanics before diving headfirst into the complexities of SD2?

Map making tools?

Maybe with WARNO map making tools it would be possible to make it here? I know that this game is nearing its end, but maybe to keep the game alive for a few more years it would be possible to grant map making tools? It would be very cool to see someone to make a map like Warsaw, Stalingrad...
