(Speaking of tanks: a T72B is different from T72BU which is entirely different from a vanilla T72, so is an M1 Abrams different from M1IP and M1A2).Ģ) Bring lots of recon untill you feel confident enough to make do with fewer, it will die horribly and being blinded is the most secure way to get raped.ģ) Bring different tipes of AA and learn the differences between them (SAM and SPAAG/RADAR and INFRARED/non RADAR)Ĥ) Spread your units whenever possible and don't bring 4-stacks of anything except infantry in cities (and even in that case there's lot to talk about)ĥ) Stay away from using planes untill you learn to not lose them everytime they make a run, they're expensive usually and require lots of babysitting.Ħ) Sometimes is better to give ground and reinforce/counterstrike with hidden force rather than lose your entire defensive line for the attacker to steamroll too your spawnħ) WATCH YOUR FLANKS LIKE IT IS YOUR ASS IN A GAY BAR. SOME GENERAL ADVICE USEFUL FOR MP (but good to practice also on single player)ġ) Try to at least recognize american and ussr units from one another since they're the most common decks and they lend equipment to other nations too. Biggest Reason why you don't march tanks in occupied towns (VDV (russian shock infantry) will wreck you from anywhere, as well as most of the Shock/Special forces)īurrito: TOS-1 Buratino (USSR short range napalm MLRS,devastating vs infantry. RPG: Rocket Propelled Granade (launcher): Infantry Anti Tank Weapon, short ranged and USUALLY crappy, but will wreck you from sides rear. LOS: Line of Sight (very important concept, more on that in the suggested guides) Useful for drawing the opponent out of woods/cities, can destroy light vehicles and infantry, willl mostly stun tanks and other. (Small bombs with AP value that will wreck the top of any vehicle, not very effective against infantry). HE: High Explosive (good against infantry/light vehicles and in general for stunning)ĬLUS: Cluster damage type. Painful stuff, can stun lock you or kill you depends on type and units targeted, one of the reasons you have to spread your units.ĪP: Armor Penetration (a measure of how good the gun penetrates armor)
MLRS: Multiple Rocket Launcher System (Uragan, Smerch, ATACM. IFV: Infantry Fighting Vehicle (light armored tracked transport, to bring infantry in places and support them on the attack, with Machineguns, Autocannons, whatever)ĪPC: Armored Personell Carrier: same as IFV mostly, but usually denotes the wheeled vehicle with less armor and faster on the ground. Good for stunning helos/planes and (if radar) to shield more expensive Radar Antiair from SEAD planes SPAAG: Self Propelled Anti Air Gun (cheaper than SAMs usually. SAM: Surface-Air Missle (usually powerful Anti Air unit, although usually limited in ammo count) IR: InfraRed AA missiles (can target planes usually at a shorter range than radar, wonderful against helos and SEAD planes if they get range).
(Plane/Helicopter missiles that target RADAR AA). Quick Guide to most used acronyms/slang terms:ĬV: Command Vehicle, most precious units in the game (expensive and mostly defenseless and high priority target for your enemy) since it can control sectors (will give you Command Points to bring in units (destruction mode) or Victory Points (conquest mode). In the guide section there's also the "200 pages guide to wargame:RD" (a good read imho) and yes, watching youtube videos is good but most of all watch your own replays to learn from your mistakes.
#WHER ARE MY WARGAME RED DRAGON REPLAYS STORED SERIES#
It's a series of tutorials to learn micromanaging your units.Īnd for your first MP game try a 10v10 on a small map, there you have less ground to cover so it's a good chance to learn microing your units properly. Go look in the guide section and search for "(New Players) Theme Decks: TUTORIAL !! Learn First Steps vs AI, before jump into MP slaughter". Yeah, EE campaign is quit good to get the general feel of the game, bear in mind that Red Dragon will seem a totally different animal altogether.
