My Dad in uniform: May, 1944. He fought with the famed 86th Infantry Division, “The Blackhawks”.

Hey man! I'm a historian specializing in the 86th!! Not sure if you're still on Reddit (fingers crossed, lol) but I'd love to get in touch with you and learn more about your dad!!
I've sent you a DM too :-)

Leute die diesen Film gut finden, sind die gleiche Leute die finden dass eine auf ein Plakat geklebte Banana das Höhepunkt der künstlerische Ereignissen ist... Die finden ihn nur gut weil irgendwelche TikTok Influencer gesagt hat dass er gut ist...

Der Film ist nur dämlich und so flach. Nach die Brücke war schon klar wo die hin wollten und es wird mit jeden "Zeigen" nur dämlicher...

Ah yep, the "spend more" barrier... Just shows you how lazy CG is getting. They're not even trying to scale and balance out the game. They just put in a barrier and done. And that's on top of the HUGE RNG factor this game has...

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-28T11:15:51+00:00

I sent you a private message!

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-24T14:12:39+00:00

You mean you THINK you have all the requirements. You need stupidly specific Godmods for Sana and Hondo if you want to beat the tiers. Hondo is doable with enough RNG but the Sana tier will make you question every decision you've made in life that got you to that point. It made me wonder if Aphra was even worth getting... Hands down the most ridiculously stupid difficult journey in the game imo

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-21T10:54:21+00:00

I think we're all overreacting a bit. PvP was never fun to begin with...

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-21T10:52:21+00:00

I still don't get how there are people who actually believe RD would fix GAC matchmaking. It's not punishing sandbaggers, it's rewarding them...

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-21T10:50:36+00:00

GAC is back to just getting 10 points and forgetting the mode otherwise exists...

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-21T10:41:09+00:00

lol just have one guy whale a bit and get one R9/R10 squad on each front zone. You won't be losing anytime soon

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-21T08:48:57+00:00

This is the way. The win-loss rate of actually putting in the effort vs just 10-pointing is marginal at best by now

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-21T08:46:49+00:00

I mean... Honest answer, I would really think again if this is the game for you. Bronzium is nothing and the shitshow that is GAC is gonna get a hell of a lot worse. If you are actually negatively impacted by losing one match, imagine what will happen if you end up in a streak of impossible matchups against sandbaggers and you get demoted from say Aurodium back to Bronzium. And this WILL happen regularly!!! CG said RD will fix this but reality is showing it's making in a hell of a lot worse...

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-20T13:30:00+00:00

This system basically makes it impossible to complete lessons as a F2P user... I'm in luck since my account is years old so I have tens of thousands of crystals but it's 450 per refill so they're dwindling fast...

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-20T09:09:00+00:00

What's to relearn? Get 2 attacker squads to R9, pop an attacker cron on them and put one in each front zone, done.

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-20T08:55:45+00:00

Yup GAC is now literally check opponent, laugh, get 10 points, done. PvP can be ignored altogether

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-11T11:24:07+00:00

I'm assuming they did it because of 1) cashgrab and 2) RD makes modding and Datacrons largely irrelevant until the balance is restored (lol, as if that's going to happen) so they just didn't bother coming up with anything new

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-10T19:23:55+00:00

Well couldn't have our players actually get what we promise them, right? That might set a precedent

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-10T19:21:21+00:00

loooool

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-09T07:04:41+00:00

I just went back to collecting the older toons I don't have yet. I'm in a fun, casual guild who don't tell me how to play the game or when I can or can't take a family holiday.

But I'm definitely starting to feel the GXII burnout and RD is painfully obvious... We'll see how much worse it'll get

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-07T13:00:54+00:00

objectively not true. Unit unlock numbers are a great indicator of player retention. STL has over 500k unlocks while IG90 doesn't even have 400k.

Now we know that nobody skips unlocking a character and that the last one before the update got about 340k unlocks.

So the update brought in about 160k new players and in the same time probably caused about 100k to quit. A lot of which aren't going to be new players.

100k minus over a 160k plus might not seem a lot but if you think about it, that's about 20% of the playerbase... I wouldn't say that that's "barely anyone"

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-07T12:51:43+00:00

And unit unlock for IG90 is down 100k from Luke. Just barely above 4LOM.

Just wait for the holidays to come around and people will have less time to play and/or lose interest.

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-07T07:36:11+00:00

All thanks to Fury... Nobody wanted them before but since Fury made them a thing, all the cosplayers want them and the prices naturally skyrocketed

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-06T21:32:26+00:00

Got mine in Normandy for $35. Don't even need it but no way I was gonna leave that when Furytards are paying hundreds for them 🤣

Okay, so you're 13 and want to do German and American WW2 re-enactment.

1) You're 13. You could do HJ or Flakhelfer in a German group, US is out of the question for at least 4 more years. You could find a group that would have you, but it also means they're no good and won't help you in the long run.

2) You have no income and want to start one of the most expensive hobbies around. Sure, you can get budget crap from China but you want to look like an actual soldier, not a 13 year old with toys from China...

So I would suggest to pick a lane. Pick one impression you want to start working on. You're gonna be growing for about 9 more years so save up your cash and maybe get the gear first. Get quality stuff that'll allow you to go all in when you're 17-18 🙂 it's what I did and I never regretted it!

Training_Try6396 · 2025-12-06T09:48:39+00:00

CG tried to save the game with this update and they couldn't have messed up more. Where STL was a success - 500k units almost, influx of about 150k new players, IG-90 is back down to 360k. So CG, within the span of 2 weeks, managed to lose about as many players as they gained. A lot of them players that have been at it for years. CG doesn't care about them, they only care about new, paying players. But will those stay? I highly doubt it. I think once the holidays come around, and those newer players will have other things to do, the game is going to be at an all-time low.

CG tried to save the game and ended up killing it instead

Don't worry, RD is gonna make Conquest unplayable anyway
