So I made a short video on why I think this is the best way to play Steel division at the moment because of how it gets around the problems of skirmish mode by having both sides have different and opposing objectives. But that is coming from my perceptive as someone who doesn't play a lot of skirmish because of the balance issues and occasionally cheesy tactics. but you, however, play skirmish all the time and keep up to date with the meta, so what do you think of the game mode?
this could be what real combat looks like. one takes defence and the other offense for securing an objective. almost realistic situation. this should be the trend of all rts games.
I had a few matches against players, and this mode is really cool. It's a real welcome addition for the game, you can actually use realistic defense and attack tactics, like making killzone's, mobile reserves, armored pincers, etc.
This mode looks really fun. This is kind of how combat would go in real life, I think, so it's interesting to see what kind of strategies players would come up. I'm looking forwards for more of this!
This game mode has an obvious potential. I gave it a try and noticed that medium AI is much better in skirmish than in Assault mode. To have a real challenge, it must be set at very hard. In medium setting, you just need to pick any armored division, set an armor combo with AA and arty, and attack/move to the objective. A victory is obtained in around 15 mn. Thank you for the video and looking forward more on this mode.
Hey Vulcan, if you can't find someone good enough to play with you for the next video, check out this mode on defense vs. AI... As of now the defensive AI can't really compensate for setting up lines along the whole map (as you saw when you concentrated all your forces along the main road). however it is pretty good at attacking you from my experience. Looking forward to the next one, cheers.

Also I just played as the premade Pegasus division, they have 88s for days at the beginning
I wouldn't mind if they added more campaigns related to some of the battle groups. It would be interesting.
Yeah there is a lot they could do in singleplayer I feel.

Exactly, going to be fun to play against real players.
this has a TON of potential 2v2

Yeah exactly what I'm very excited about trying.

I hope they make this 3v3 and 4v4.
Maybe they will in the future.
I would love to see more of this! (1st comment)
I have a look at the defensive side later today.
Vulcan-This new game mode has a ton of potential I’m really looking forward to some 1v1 verses Trout or Betts thanks for the intro upload

Considering I usually have a hard time against AI medium I think this could still be fun for me too.
Yeah absolutely. I could see many people enjoying this solo.
Will you please play 4th armored a few times I would love to see more content and your ideas and tactics
I'll try and use them again in the future, sure!
I think this game mode is the best.
Looking forward to the 1v1s :]
I'll try not to make you wait too long.
I'm excited about the new game mode but I think it could be a big problem to add new game modes which might divide the already limited playerbase. :/
The only thing I think divided the player base is the ranked and quick match queues.

Yeah I have a defensive battle coming up against AI this evening.
