I gave a try to this AC2 and i'm very impressed.
I did a few battles and i am currently on my way to the objective, worrying about what's waiting for me.
On my first battle it seemed to be a lot of pain for my crew to spot and identify targets even with the hatch open, and the driver seemed to be in great difficulty to even move a full hexagon. Once the battle was spent i noticed i could actually improve my crew members, bought a skill for the driver to increase the chance of actually driving a full hexagon on a turn, and a skill for my designated spotter (the assistant driver) to increase his spotting ability.
It was much much better on the following battle
On the 3rd some heavy rain started, lowering the accuracy of my shots (figured out quickly i had to stop before shooting, it's ww2 era
not modern tanks with all the electronic to help shooting while moving)
Managed to kill a couple german tanks on my way, along with some infantry and trucks.
some questions :
-Are the crew actually gaining xp (skill points) and if yes how are they gaining them ? by kills ? by doing an action ? by completing a battle ?
-on the concept of the campaigns, should i hurry on the map toward the objective or should i take some time clearing around the hexagon on the campaign maps , i mean is there an effect on the objective if i conquer more hexagons around the campaign map ?
-the game tells me that my group is 2 tanks, yet in the battle i seem to only have 1 is that normal or it is just because wip ?
-is the player tank all alone against the enemy whole army, or are other allies actually doing something during a campaign ?
-is hull down or smoke the only way to hide/lower chance from enemy fire, or is there LOS in the game modified by the terrain (are there hills, etc.. you can drive around ?)
