    War Thunder is a highly detailed vehicle combat game containing over 2,000 playable tanks, aircraft and ships spanning over 100 years of development. Immerse yourself completely in dynamic battles with an unparalleled combination of realism and approachability.
    This campaign is going relatively well so far, but the biggest issue is working around Itza - I don't want to declare war on them because they're so strong and well-positioned, but they also keep eating up my territory. In the next episode, I'll focus on taking down Rakarth and hopefully get the short campaign victory.

      And their insane charge bonus... They do soooo much damage, even against armored targets. Grail guardians and questing knights cannot match their dps, but can work in tandem with grail knights, as anvils

    • @daringdarius5686
      @daringdarius5686 Рік тому +35

      Basically this ^
      You can run them in tandem with lesser cavalry to have a devastating charge, have them be the last to retreat of the group (perfect vigour) and then have the 2nd wave of cavalry charge.
      So while the 2nd wave hits and the 1st wave is regrouping for a second charge, the Questing Knights are probably winded and recovering for about 5-15 seconds (or more depending on how long it took to disentangle them) when your Grail Knights finally join them, and they have perfect vigour, they turn around and you start the 3rd charge with the same units.
      If you are bad at micro, but are only playing cavalry, have 3 waves of charging doesn't sound terrible.
      Each wave has 1 hero, 1 Grail Knight (preferably in the middle), 2-3 lesser knights, charge, disengage, 2nd wave, 3rd wave, rinse/repeat.
      If for some reason the Grail Knights get surrounded and can't disengage, that's simple, they have perfect vigour. They can stay in the fight indefinitely, then just continue crashing waves. :)

      ​@@codelearner383 both of those are technically easy. Boris is almost always built with just about only bear riders and depending on how strict your definition of a ranged unit is Katarin can use either iceguard, strigoi or kozars. Obviously kozars are the worst. You could also use korishes as those are ranged cavalry.

    i see this as the only optimal and competitive way of playing bretonia, love it ! btw breteonia has a really bad replenishment rate and the only good way to buff it up a notch is by defeating the Fey Enchantress.... 10% i believe it is. AAnd you dont suffer from supplielines so you can take multiple Lords with your main army and just level them up and by that gaining the vows and having better armies to besiege settlements as an added benefit

    YES. I’ve noticed that the AI does this little “dance” around in force march where they are barely out of range. You end up spending 2-3 turns chasing them around.

    Legend of Total War had a really interesting 10 (20?) turn guide for Alberic that involved the most hilariously convoluted strategy of making your enemies attack each other and then picking off the scraps that remain. With almost no units at all, using that strategy you could get rid of Khorne, the Skaven, and a lizardmen faction in like 10 turns tops and be set up really well to coast along. The funny thing is it definitely would have worked for this challenge even with using just cavalry. One of the key features of the strategy was convincing I think it was Khorne to attack one of the lizardmen, reinforcing their army, and then attacking them with as much friendly fire as possible so that they were weak when you war dec them the next turn. Sadly that part wouldn't have worked since I don't think you can friendly fire with cav (unless you consider the yeoman archers as cav for this challenge) but it's a super interesting video and I recommend giving it a looksie to see what parts of that strategy you could adopt for this challenge if you were to ever hypothetically retry it

    Since brettonia can have multiple lords without the supply penalty, it's often a good ideal to recruit lords early on so you can start them working on their vows early. Makes it a lot easier later on when trying to recruit the higher end cav later on

    Honestly as Bretonnia I almost do this anyway. Early on ye you kinda need peasants so the start is harder, but by the time you get questing knights you can use only them and win most battles VERY well with autoresolve alone. And if you want to go up to questing to make it even easier you can.

    I wonder why so many people decide to go into wedge formation with cavalry when they could just go into line formation and have a wider initial charge impact and wipe out a larger portion of the enemy unit rather than have 1 guy make contact and the rest just kind of follow.
    It makes little sense from a gameplay perspective and even less so from a historical one so I am genuinely curious why is it that so many youtubers choose to do this, does it provide a stat increase perhaps?

      It provides a significant increase to mass and charge bonus. There have been several updates to it over time, but at the moment it is worth it.
