Market Garden

[A Canadian Cat]

Whether or not it was done in RL I think is over shadowing the playability of the game. As it stands right now urban combat is lopsided away from the infantry when it should be in their favour. Are the game designers trying to make an enjoyable game or just replicated RL?

And there is the rub. As far as I can tell they are trying to make an enjoyable game that is as close to RL as possible. I think their philosophy is to fix things that are not right instead of breaking things that are. I suspect that they will make changes to tank behaviour and or implement prepared rocket firing for buildings rather than creating a place where atypical things are typical.

This newly discovered game flaw (for me) will prevent me from ever playing a built up battle again.

Understood and I don't disagree - entirely. I think though that a better environment makes a big difference. The urban maps that are part of the stock QBs and maps are a bit spartan. If you look at some of the more recent work you can see how this can be made better for infantry just by having better maps.

Also I started a thread this morning to collect people's tricks and tips for fighting in urban environments - sorry I lead off with a tip that *helps* tanks. Hopefully more will follow. I did put a link to a previous thread about handling infantry AT weapons in an urban setting that has been my guide since I read it.
