EPIC DEFENCE against Russian SWARM! Steel Division 2 Campaign - Burning Baltics #4 (Axis) 

Went way better than expected!

Interesting idea. Next time I have a breakthrough defense I'll see if it comes out ok on the edit.

Seconding this idea, I think there are all sorts of interesting ideas you can pull off with defence in depth style emplacements where you're more willing to lose a bit of ground (and a flag or two) for a better killzone! Plus a little zooming in to observe the more important positions (less than a minute even would be enough) adds a lot of immersion.

@@mikhailfilitov1479 Not one step back!! Honestly though defense in depth isn't that viable because if you cede flags to the enemy they get more time in battle. Then you have to kill more, you lose more, instead of just winning and disorganising. If I'd lost a couple more flags in that first battle, I'd legitimately likely have lost due to sheer numbers the AI had.

Ahh ok I'll try and remember! May have to excuse the next couple of episodes then as they are already recorded.

@@VulcanHDGaming yeah no issue, I'm just glad there's a vid of someone actually good doing this campaign as the Germans :D

all of them because hanz will not let the russians take him alive

@@lukeframe5809 so one guy can use the DP AND the AT rifle??

My advixe would be to build a good line of the front and then make a push on the enemy front where and when you see the opportunity, but I'm a pretty defensive player so idk

@@idxntity677 Yeah, that's the general idea, however how and where to push and with what units gets me. Maybe a few concrete examples might help, such as strafing units with fighters with guns. I often see Vulcan do this, however when I do it the fighters often don't do anything. Sometimes they only pin units down, sometimes it's a kill. How do I know when to strafe and who? Do I have to know every air unit, what weapons it has, and what they're effective against? Also snipers - in this video he pays a lot of attention to them, pointing them out as dangerous. In other videos he just skips over them because they're a minor nuisance. How come? Artillery and field guns - sometimes he is worried about them direct-firing at units, in this case it wasn't the case. Do I have to know which exact artillery units can do that and what ammo they have? As you can see, these are just a few examples and it's already sooooo confusing and convoluted. I'd love to learn all this and practice, but if I'm just getting totally annihilated and not even know why, I don't know where to start. So that's why I'm wondering if there is a simpler approach to this.

That might get old quick to be honest. Also, assuming it's you, I had to ban you from my Discord for posting spam links. Your account is comprimised. If it's fine now, I'm happy to unban you.

@@VulcanHDGaming yup it was me! It should be fine now, thank you and I'm sorry for being careless

Which parts does it block information? I currently have it over the controls during the battle gameplay, and then make sure to not cover the turn counter on the campaign parts.

​@@VulcanHDGaming I don't mind where it is. Seems fine to me so far. I really like the face camera.

Shhh, don't tell anyone. Funny you are the first person to notice!

To be fair, the ai isn't that bad at dealing with cas, the only AA units they had in that match was the doushkas and the AI did actually concentrate them it just wasn't that effective. The AI is generally fine and deploying their AA or calling in fighters to support.
