Lots of fun, until you get to the map in the centre with 3 teams. Never ending map because you go one way the other team attacks and so your commander directs the attack back and forth. I've tried everything but just when I think we've made some progress they take the bases back. Sure burns you out. |

I might be spoiling most of the fun here, or you may actually have already tried this sort of thinking about it, but here goes: Did you try to capture some other base yourself than the one where your commander is issuing the mass attack? That's usually the key tactic. Spoiler: |

Yes it's tough with my low rank and only 2 squad members. At least I can fully crew a tank now. I try and hold an area when they attack or join in the attack. Even tried mounting a diversion and stop reinforcements. Maybe when I have a bigger squad things will improve. Sometimes your so close to taking a base and you're like "man where is my support". |

Sometimes your so close to taking a base and you're like "man where is my support". 2 squad members basically should be enough for backdooring (veteran players often do side base captures completely alone too) but the main thing is that you've got 4-man paratrooper call available to you as you've got 2000 XP -> there's your support. Using a few of those usually guarantees a side base capture, as long as it's not guarded heavily because of towers or cargo trucks or other stuff. Once you've made the capture, you can also use more paratroopers to get the base defended before the support gets there all the way from the other side of the map. |

I'll have to look at the radio call, usually I only notice the artillery. I'll see if I can get some paratrooper support. |

The commander says at the beginning of that particular map that the enemy holds an anti-air emplacement which denies airdrops in the area. You can't use paratroopers until you locate and destroy that target. |

That's why I couldn't drop anything. Found the AA emplacement and that solved it. Too bad it doesn't stop working once you've captured it, you actually have to destroy it. Also realized that I need to press 'pageup' to increase my squad manually. Total game changer since I could have 6 squad mates. Was able to capture map after that, didn't even get a chance to drop paratroopers. ![]() |

The squad size should be automatically increasing by default and when it is at its max setting. There could be a bug related to that or you may have pressed page down at some point. Anyway, cool that you got forward now! |
