100 Things I learned from playing R.U.S.E. | Forums

[texsal]

I thought I'd start this list to see what interesting and funny things people have noticed. Disclaimer - These are just funny observations I have seen in the game. They do not represent my preferred order of battle or tactics. Do not try these at home.


1. Despite having a huge gun, anti-tank crews apparently have all decided that it is never a good idea to fire on infantry or buildings. That would just be mean.

2. Out in the open, 40 units of infantry can be mowed down by a single light tank. Yet, put them in a city, swamp or forest and they suddenly have the power of a 5 mega-ton nuclear warhead.

3. The French had an army in WWII?

4. When all 7 of my jet bombers get shot down and fail to destroy the enemy HQ and I’m out of money, there is a greater than zero chance I am going to lose soon.

5. Playing against 2 easy AI opponents in a team against you is tougher than you think.

6. My brilliant plan to guard my base with 5 Maus and some AT did not work against the 87 tanks that the Italians rolled in.

7. I cannot figure out how to take over England with a few light tanks and an AA. (Operation Seelowe)

8. When you send a large group into a city and get ambushed, not one guy thought it would be a good idea to turn around and find another way.

It's their general's job to think of that

Wouldnt it become a strange game when you gave them an order and the unit's were like "Forget it man,I ain't gonna be fried like some KFC chicken! Go storm that blockhouse with its badass flamethrower yourself!!"

Well, now I think of it... that would immediatly make an end to the USSR infantry rush
