Hi everyone, I was wondering if there is any difference between War Hero units like 101st Airborne Dick Winters leader and regular leader with the same equipment on the field, and do you think maybe that those units should get a buff of some kind? I didn't notice any difference

Such long wait times to get a match then finally a match and it crashes after deploy .. happens often and there is not hothoin/rejoin available. No my pc isnt a potato i have an rtx 3080 in it 🤷🏼‍♂️..

Can you load tank rider units onto tanks instead of needing additional transport or is it an aura benefit?

As the title says, I'm awful when it comes to sitting on income, I'll try to do what I can with whats on the board and I always forget to keep constantly spawning stuff, and when I do remember I get overwhelmed/confused as to what is best for the situation, because I'm not sure if what I call in will be right when it actually gets there etc.

Any advice to help overcome this?

It’s hard to find PvP games, even in the weekend…why?

A question for Eugen, is there work being done to expand the number of campaigns? Really love the Army General series in SD2 and would like to see more.

It’s my favourite way to play, being able to campaign in both tactical and operational settings is very satisfying to me as a gamer. It would be great to see some of the earlier operations replicated with the same level of detail. You guys are doing fantastic work.

Cheers A

So I am playing SD2s campaigns and have come up against IS2s. Seven Panthers fire simultaneously at one and it doesn’t get penetrated. WTF? Does the game lean towards the allies?

If you looking for the completive seen FOB has you covered . Were running the largest and one of the few monthly still around for Sd2 . Join the server if you like to take part !!! Fob is the home of Sd2 and Warno !!! Hope to see you there !! Sign up close tomorrow 22:00 GMT . https://discord.gg/E67cZkSPPw

Why is the 1944 version 110 points while the 1943 version is 95 points?? The 1943 version even gets APCR and the 1944 doesn’t. Armor, normal AP penetration and damage are all the same. I see the main gun is supposed to be different but they don’t have any different stats. So what is the actual difference?

title says all i suck.

Hi me again. I'm relatively new and I was just wondering what divisions are good for arty based (on and off map ) Playstation. I have fate of Finland and Normandy dlcs

I've spent so much time trying to learn how to use US tank decks like the 3rd armoured or 4th armoured.

The problem is that I find Shermans to be so expensive for what they can do and US planes even more expensive.

A sherman is a glorified MG turret, its amazing against infantry but useless against tanks. Low armour, and pen so low it can't beat stugs that cost the same amount!

The AT options are also very limited, as they lack the 17 pounder that other Western allied divisions have the firefly, they have a few apcr firing AT guns but typically only 2 shells when 3 are requires to kill one tank. That means you have to make use entirely of bazookas (which are amazing) or planes to beat tanks.

The planes cost 120 for the cheapest fighter which has a small caliber round which is poor at strafing, it flies so fast that it will go past any target it tries to intercept!

I just can't justify a sherman and a stug both being 80 when a stug seems so much more flexible, fine a sherman has a great machine gun but that's about it?

Please can someone point out what I'm not understanding about US armour?

What are some good defensive divisions in SD2. I have fate of Finland and the Normandy dlc for some added info

Hi, im fan of Total War and Company of Heroes series. I want to pick up some RTS during steam sales. Did try Age of Empires 4 and Great war: Western front, but refunded both. Lot of people from COH3 community recommended Gates of Hell to me, but i played Men of War Assault Squad 2 few years back and didnt like it and Gates of Hell looks very similar.

So anyways i was thinking to give this game a go, since its on sale, but then i saw it has like 30 dlcs/ expansions... i cant be bothered to study what is worth and not and pay another 100 euros to have 100% complete game. Is base game for 10 euros all i need or will i be missing something? I hate this era of dlcs. Its main reason i stayed away from Warhammer Total Wars and few other games.

I know theirs a sale going on right now , but I don’t have the money for it so I was curious if during winter some of the DLC divisions will be on sale.

Semi-new player and I bought the Back to War DLC to get the Jumbo (its big and cool) but when I bought it it showed in the armory I also unlocked a bunch of new planes for USA that aren't in the spearhead division. It says some are in 1st infantry 'Big Red One" but I don't see that division. I only have Butler and Spearhead as far as I can see.

So the main confusion: where are these units that the game claims I own and please tell me I don't have to buy another DLC to use units I already have unlocked in the armoury.

*Update: The armory will show units you don’t own with locks on them only if you select ‘show locked units’ the planes I’m referring to don’t have locks and show up even without that selected. They all appear to be airborne division units but I only have butler and spearhead as I don’t own Tribute to Normandy or Men of Steel

I'm fairly new to jumping into actual multiplayer games be they 1v1 or 10v10. Thought I'd try some 10v10 today as I've seen some YTers mention that's a good way to start because there's less pressure on you.

I was the 20th guy to join a game (using the 10v10 lobby button when you hit Multi) and waited. Five minutes went by and nothing happened. No one else appeared to ready up. At around the 5m mark players started leaving and so did I.

I get folks aren't just sitting at their screen waiting to join but realistically how long does it take these things to start up? If you were to give yourself 2h on a day like today where player count seems high (for SD2) how many actual games would you get in?

Also... why do there appear to be a plethora of games started but no one is in any of them?

So I’m playing Steel Division’s first campaign mission, Hedgerow Hell. I was watching some videos from 7 years ago and in them the streamers are in control of the forces on both sides of Audoville with 200 reinforcement points but when I play I’m only able to start on the one side with 100 points. Is there a way to change this?

Hi! I got SD 2 around a week ago and but I barley have anyone to play with.

Rn im trying to learn the game and play some army general campaigns.

Would love to have a mate or two to coop these campaigns as battles tend to get waaaay to big and its hard to solo em.

I live in Europe but I would also have no issues with anyone from the US.

Thanks!

I don't mean line-of-sight, I mean how far the unit can fire. In r.u.s.e all the units had a circle showing their maximum range, making placement easy. In this game I feel like I have to select a unit, pull up its stats, then pull up the line of sight tool to see what it can actually hit. Does anyone know if there's a mod that highlights the unit's actual maximum range without having to memorize it it and constantly double-check with the line of sight tool?

Yes, I know, it's a skill issue. Git gud and all that :)

Maybe some more content at some point in the future?

Would be really nice, AtkPwr is the main source of Steel Division 2 content on YouTube, along side Vulcan but he does more 10v10 and other games, than the 1v1's AtkPwr does.

I'm curious what dlc to get since i don't want to waste my money on units and divisions I'm never going to use.

Hey all,

So me and a few friends have been playing Steel Division for a while, but I've always played axis (Mainly because most of them wanted to play allied) and I've been really enjoying Koruck 559, just for its weirdness as far as its collection of equipment goes, with a similar feeling towards 1. Lovas, which just by nature of being a hungarian division has a bunch of stuff you wouldn't see elsewhere.

But now they want to swap, and I'm trying to find inspiration for building a soviet deck but they just all seem, at a glance at least, kindo... samey. It might just be the psychological trick of them all having basically the same banner, but it seems that they all come down to T-34's, Guards, maybe some strelki and thats your lot.

I'm currently playing without any of the paid expansions (with the exception of fate of finland and back to war for some reason) but I'm not against getting one if there's a particuarly intresting division hidden away in there.

I'm not really fussed with combat effectiveness, our collective skill level is low enough that there's very little difference between a "good" division and a "bad" division, I just want something that feels unique to play.

Thanks all!

Playing AG against my buddy we've done a few campaigns and tallied up a few frustrations in the cracks of the game mechanics but one we both agree to be most unbearable is the ability of recon planes to spot units in heavy (green cover) dense woods. Air superiority rightfully should be a difficult thing to fight against but when you don't have AA and we can find each other's units no problem it becomes impossible to have a competitive match. Dense woods should be the one place air recon shouldn't be able to see machine guns, mortars, AT Guns and the like., but no we have Xray vision aircraft that can see right through trees. Couple that with the insane reaction time of aircraft (instant spawn, 20 second travel time to target) and an authentic sumo simulator of WW2 battles becomes like trying to survive predator drones in Afghanistan.

Ok so I have SD44 on steam, and I just bought SD2 on gog. I read that you get the back to war dlc pack for free, which I do see in see listed in my Steam client as "in my steam library".

Can you activate this dlc for the SD2 on gog though? Or do I have to buy Sd2 on steam for this to work?

Googled a bunch couldn't find any answers to this
