Big fan of all your SD2 content, theres a level of thoughtfulness that many other content producers dont show. I dont even play SD2 or really any video games, but your content is what I relax with watching after work
The IL2s were designed to be ground attack aircraft, so the engine and cockpit area of each aircraft was armoured, which provided extra protection against fighters as well. The rear facing gunner made life more problematic for German fighter pilots as well.
If a battalion goes below 30% depletion it is broken up and ceases being a unit on the map, remaining units do get transferred to other units i think. Also that wasn’t a recon rgt that got destroyed, it was so tiny it was staffel/company sized. Totally worth sacrificing to kill that many IL2s, LAGs and LA5s. We know how killy they are, especially vs tanks
"going to have to hold until the end of the battle, which will make things quite difficult". Yeah, for them. Vulcan + air + artillery = massive depletion of enemy forces ;p
I'm happy to see your ground forces took care of themselfes for the most part. This could have been a completely different battle if they had deployed 2 rifle devisions and 1 air detachment instead of the 1 rifle devision and 2 air detachements. Pitty so many big guns were lost.
Great to see you starting the Axis campaign, just a thought maybe when using arty place in farther back to make the Soviets attack planes fight closer to your air spawn? I have been waiting for this series.
@@maxkennedy8075 When you attack the airfield units on the Orsha campaign it surrounds the entire Soviet army (or it did - perhaps Eugen have patched it out - been a month or more since I tried this).
Love the game, and your channel, but those BF109 G-2s, and G-8s would've decimated those recon aircraft, and IL-2s. No doubt about that as they're not even in the same league when it comes to air combat. There's a reason the Soviets took such high air losses on the Eastern Front with aces such as Erich Hartmann achieving 352 air to air victories. 350 of those were Soviet, and 2 Americans. Plus, the Soviets lost 10.5K IL-2s during the war. The La-5 is another story as far as being an easy target goes. Nonetheless, I hope to keep seeing these videos because they're great!
Stop talking this naz1 bullsh1t about unbeatable naz1 aces. All they wictories wasv in the early stage of war. And There they were in the summer of 1944? Lol. Soviets have full air superiority in operation Bagration. And Hartmann get m0st of his kills not in dogfights with other fighters , but in free hunting . Thats whole difrent story. You can get many personal kills , but you dont help boys dont below on the field.
@@dmitrizorkin3851 I'm not a nazi sympathizer. At all. I'm just saying, and you can see it in the video that the Soviet air is way too OP. It's a bug, and well known one, but might have been fixed since. I'm not saying the Germans won all the time, but this bug makes their aircraft do nothing to the Soviet aircraft, and in terms of gameplay makes the German aircraft worthless.
The proper way to write Latin numerals is how you correctly described it, but for some reason the historical German army used to write them as it is portrayed ingame. Very triggering I know, but the people to complain to are the German army staff.
You can't have more than three in the game. You can chose between planes, artillery, infantry , tanks, anti tank or Anti air. But only three of those. Its ridiculous if you ask me and find no enjoyment from the campaigns.
Found the axis campaign easier as A.I attacks same places mostly n u funnel them into killzones. Plus bringing air force whenever poss. (Mostly they attacked my fortified infantry n bunkers with say stukas does the rest. Can be annoying if you have no AA n they have bombers).
Mate, you know how we say "Ministry of Defence" over here. Do we say it like "dee-fence"? No? We don't, because we're English and English is a stress-timed language, we put stresses in different parts of words to give meaning, when you have this "sometimes we do, sometimes we don't" style of English, it becomes jarring to other native speakers to hear it. Great video and thanks, but we only have one way of saying defence here, where you're also from and it's not like "dee-fence".
it's so absurd seeing howitzers with over 10,000km range literally at the frontline mixed with infantry and attacks by ground units being done peacemeal was kinda hoping for the game to be at least somewhat realistic lol
i would appreciate it if you would start with apologizing for the crimes committed against germany during and after the war, and giving thanks for their efforts in saving the world from the globalists.

I have really been looking forward to this. Unlike the Soviet campaign this should prove to be a challenge instead of simply rolling over the enemy
Has the potential to be challenging, yes.

Finally. I have been waiting for this since the BETA :D
bout time!, been waiting for this camp for sega.
I'm looking forward to you having access to the thousands of luftwaffe planes that you had to face when you played this from the Soviet side. 😆😋🙃
@Luca Leonard ScaM
I rarely subscribe channels, but now I did. Great content, nice voice, excellent quality
Thanks! Appreciate it!
"We are playing on the hard difficulty, which does actually make this a lot more difficult as well." Ah yes, the floor here is made out of floor.
Great to see you starting the Axis campaign, just a thought maybe when using arty place in farther back to make the Soviets attack planes fight closer to your air spawn? I have been waiting for this series.
Awesome. I have been waiting for this with my hopeful breath held.
I feel your instincts are right. Absolutely no need for arty with that kind of range to be that far forward.
The main reason you'd do it is so they can direct fire if I'm not microing them for long range engagments.
@@VulcanHDGaming Fair. If I'm bringing arty regiments I often just put them under AI control. Probably the arm that the AI is best at handling.
@@PiresArsenalLegend Especially because at least when it comes to artillery, the AI isn't exactly playing fair.
Das ist der grosse Augenblick der Luftwaffe!
If you want to go on the offensive, take your recon unit at the top of the map into the Soviet airfield area for a cheese win in a handful of turns.
Silverback What can you raid air units when they are on the ground at base? Does it just instakill them?
@@maxkennedy8075 When you attack the airfield units on the Orsha campaign it surrounds the entire Soviet army (or it did - perhaps Eugen have patched it out - been a month or more since I tried this).
Yeah I know the cheese but I'd rather keep things interesting.
If only we can get a grand campaign of some sort that would create alternate historical outcomes on massive fronts... I guess that's too much to ask
2:13 That quite a belarus.
hold back the red menace!
fun fact: bagration is a georgian last name for mostly kings
not the state georgia.

There is a mistake at 3:53, we can see a german korp with the number XXXXI which is incorrect since 41 should be written XLI

didnt know thanks! 3years later i learn something ahah @@mathieu.robert
Using 150mm as direct fire is... innovative i gotta admit.
Who needs air support or artillery anyways
Amazing game ombosh
Gonna give those a look now^^
Spent 20 minutes placing units like this. 10 simultaneous battles and lost mounting a counterattack.
It would be nice if we could see the troops up close
8:47 PM 1/19/2022 I give up. AXIS are suppose to lose. Where the hell are the Panther tanks at? Relocate SS Viking Division to Eastern Front.
I actually like the Army General feature to SD2. Still a newb at trying to play it like this. Everyone like the campaign map idea?
I just tried this campaign and a lot seems to have changed. Whether it be map layouts or unit comp.
Vulcan without airforce? It will be completely different game.
Does the game cost?
Yes!!! good!!!!!!!!
And you clearly need a lot more flak defences.
You can't have more than three in the game. You can chose between planes, artillery, infantry , tanks, anti tank or Anti air. But only three of those. Its ridiculous if you ask me and find no enjoyment from the campaigns.
I LOVE the games! I've been salivating all Northern Summer and he's back. At Last!!
Do you use the Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak title screen ambient soundtrack in your videos? I can't help but notice it.
I don't no, when do you hear it?
Found the axis campaign easier as A.I attacks same places mostly n u funnel them into killzones. Plus bringing air force whenever poss.
(Mostly they attacked my fortified infantry n bunkers with say stukas does the rest. Can be annoying if you have no AA n they have bombers).
I can't remember. Does height of terrain, like being on a hill, benefit your sightlines and tire out soldiers running up it? Like Graviteam games?
What does it indicate when a unit blinks?
Lmfao, using the G-8 recon variant in a fighter capacity, you goofball XD
Do units gain experience when they see combat kinda like in HOI4?
No, combat experience is preset in each campaign.
Mate, you know how we say "Ministry of Defence" over here. Do we say it like "dee-fence"? No?

VULCAN GOING FOR ARTY????
bro,which gpu you are using?
Hello , could you please give me a link for the German war flag mod ? Thanks :)
AAAAAAAAAAA.
Stop saying BAGRATION like that!
T as in 'TEAM'.
PS. I've been waiting for that.
OMG. even video says it like that....
Operatsiya Bagra-ts-ion
Right?
I have no clue what he is doing put it seems cool
@Orsha. Did you know there's a way to wipe all of the russian army in 6 turns, without taking any losses well after 6 turns.
I dont know, in your first battle the enemy comes so slowly. Currently in 2023 is a lot harder... I just get steam rolled... :(
some might say "git gud" at the game ,but i feel you.
to bad you didn't have any AA guns at your disposal
If Kim jong in was Indian
adamsın luftwaffe
Biggest disappointment was that I felt this really didn’t open ‘alt his’. Shame, great game tho
it's so absurd seeing howitzers with over 10,000km range literally at the frontline mixed with infantry
and attacks by ground units being done peacemeal
was kinda hoping for the game to be at least somewhat realistic lol
The beta looked different
The game has come a long way since beta.
They didnt even bother with german accent ehhhh
the AI just sucks
i would appreciate it if you would start with apologizing for the crimes committed against germany during and after the war, and giving thanks for their efforts in saving the world from the globalists.
that is very boring game.. keep doing the same sht again and again
Then why are you watching?
