Firefight - WW2

Surprised that this game hasn’t gotten much attention, as it is a very detailed and accurate portrayal of WW2 strategy. But like in any other game there is plenty of room for growth and improvement. Some annoying problems are that somethings troops and tanks do not move back when ordered to when they are fired upon, and tanks may actually expose themselves despite the order to move back which results in their destruction. The Tiger I and II have very slow turret traverse, despite having electrical turret gear in reality. This has proved to be a major disadvantage in many missions involving close combat, as Fireflies can easily knock Tigers out before they can even turn their turrets. Other than that the game works pretty well. I think an Eastern and African campaign should be added, as well as more Western maps such as Bastogne and maybe even Normandy. More units would definitely be appreciated, such as the Sherman Jumbo, Sherman 105mm, M8 Greyhound, M16 MGMC, M26 Pershing, Matilda, Valentine, M10 with 17-pdr, A34 Comet, Dicker Max, Nashorn, StuH 42 G, Wirbelwind, and the Jagdtiger. For infantry units medics, US and British Paratroopers, British Commandos, US Rangers and such would be great additions. A mission editor would be pretty cool too. I also think that there should be different game modes, for example defending a certain point or capturing multiple points. Other then that this is a fantastic game, and I hope to see more updates in the coming future.

It says that you should be able to view a selected squads stats (like ammo, heart rate, casualties, and for tanks, their speed and such), but you’re not able to. I know this feature is suppose to be in the game, because it says so in the help menu. If this could be fixed I would easily rate this a five star. Sometimes your troops won’t fall back or move forward if they are heavily suppressed, but I like this feature and personally think it adds a bit of realism. Sometimes your troops will move a little bit farther than the area you wanted them to move to, exposing themselves, leading to destruction (it happens a lot with tanks). If you actually think about it though, a general would give an order to a lower ranking official to move their unit in a general direction. It wouldn’t always be exactly where they were suppose to go. Once again, adding a bit of realism. This is a great WW2 strategy game and I would definitely recommend it. I actually bought like 48 missions for four dollars I loved it so much. Great game!

A simple RTS on the surface with loads of depth and strategy underneath. I see reviews where people complain about tanks not being effective or them blaming unit AI for losing. Unfortunately for them, they just stink at the game. Would be fun to see defensive missions but let's be honest it will turn into an offensive on by the end of the map of your winning. It can be done though with some creative thinking and winning scenario parameters. I also wish that there was some form of squad info when you select it. I hear my squad members calling for ammo but it's tough to track down which squad is low and which is ready to go. Same with wounded and casualty info. One last thing, I wish the maps would have randomly generated unit placement. Doesn't have to be totally different, just move some units a few yards here and there and maybe one or two unit placements that differ in a big way to keep things interesting. Fun game. I can't put it down. It's perfect for a few minutes here and there. I've also found myself going hours at a time. Not many games are in the App Store that have made me do that. Highly recommended and I hope the developer keeps updating and improving. Oh and add the ability to download player created maps. I see that it's an option on PC version.

It’s a great game but a few small things ruin it completely. THE TROOPS MOVEMENT. First they won’t move after being fired at even if the people who shot at them have been suppressed by tanks. Also they just won’t listen to you. Secondly tanks visibility, one map there’s a tree that a tank hides under that can fire on your troops but you can’t see them even if you surround it. Here’s the scenario; I have a Sherman V on the front line who would be easily be able to see the tank I have another tank come up from a different angle also a Sherman V. And a piat troop move up next to the non spotted tank. But for some reason when they get there the sergeant just runs even though he hasn’t been shot at one in the mission. So the piat is useless and then all the sudden my 2nd tank exploded from the tank that I should be able to see. Now he’s firing on the tank crew and my piat runs right in front on where the tank was just firing and kills himself. Then my other tank who was just decided to run away behind a few trees blew up. As you can see if they have a full line of sight and are able to line up a shot I should at lease be able to see them with 3+ unit directly in front of them.

I think that this game is good but it definitely isn't the best. He obviously hasn't seen men of war which is at least 10x more detailed and realistic. Men of war players would understand. But for mobile ( men of war came out only for pc) its very good EDIT VERY LONG PARAGRAPH Men of war is a computer game which is very detailed and realistic, how? you may ask. Well, men of war, just for tank V tank battles, depend on mm, range, armor, slope, and obstacles. A 88mm tiger shell could easily destroy a Sherman, not even destroy its gun, engine, or tracks like other tanks may, it'll just blow it up, but would the same shell do the same damage going through a brick house? No, it wouldn't. I know it seems a bit like I'm praising men of war, which I really am. But even though I barely played this game but played men of war a lot, I can tell this game has a lot of detail and TONS of potential, just keep updating the game and please make the missions free!
