Latest Dev Battle on Y'Tube

So I must say there was a LOT to like about this one.

The AI seems improved; better pacing of battle compared to RD; infantry looked like bigger role than RD.

Actually very good stream. Much better than previous ones.

I am only concerned that one of them said that infantry is bad at taking ground but good at holding it. Sounds like WG and I hoped infantry would have a much more prominent role in the ww2 setting.

All hail the MVP of that match:

The medium AI was able to carry match so well when battling it own harder brothers!

Looks real good.

They're good at taking ground in cities (ofc) and in areas more densely packed with hedgerows (which is most of the map), but you can't make infantry good at assaulting over open fields without turning it into a cartoon.

Infantry (not talking about mechanized inf.) should keep to forests, towns and other CQC environments. We saw in WWI how well infantry attacks work on the 20th century battle field...

The replay commentary is very promising form. Still can talk about features. Can zoom. Can jump from side to side showing whole battle.
Also if players make some stupid mistake like leaving onti gun in plain sight or face check bushes with panzers that is just more laught for all.

Latest vid. I think that he went too offensive at the start of phase A.

Would be interesting to see the replay from the other side.

 

[Grimreapo]

Watching the streams about the replay system and if SD is going to be all about watching replays there there has to be ways to for the game not spoil them, for example the timer during the replay is a huge one and the "Results" in replay selection is a HUUUUUUGE spoiler...

There are different aproaches to dev streams, i just want to see some game, and hear about various features and see them in action. It would also be cool to see different things. Like see a very early push, and phase C division in action. Infantry heavy, Panzer Heavy or.... recon/paras/manuevre
