Useful Tips and Tricks for New Players

General Tips

Understand the game properly

Learn all the controls and shortcuts. This helps manage units efficiently. Study each unit’s abilities and weaknesses. Knowing them aids in using units correctly.

Manage resources well

Collect supplies whenever possible, even from defeated enemies. Repair and reuse damaged vehicles instead of getting new ones. This saves resources.

Position units strategically

Keep infantry behind cover like buildings or rocks. This reduces casualties. Place units on high ground for better visibility and range.

Use units effectively

Infantry capture areas and scout ahead while staying covered. Tanks and vehicles provide firepower but watch for anti-tank weapons. Artillery softens enemy positions before infantry and tanks attack but needs protection.

Plan strategically

Scout enemy positions before attacking using light vehicles or infantry. Flank enemies to catch them off guard. Set up strong defensive lines with overlapping fields of fire and use mines or barbed wire.

Adapt tactics based on the battlefield

Use the environment like buildings for cover or create choke points. Change strategies as conditions change.

Multiplayer

Communicate and coordinate with teammates. Specialize in different roles like one handling infantry while another does artillery.

Practice through campaigns and skirmishes

Learn from defeats by analyzing what went wrong and how to improve.
