Considering Gordoncz's website seem down, and i don't know if it will be permanent, i have decided to upload the recommended mods and tools so people can enjoy the game to its fullest. As well as helping new players out properly, something i failed with my last thread one year ago.1. Getting game to work.Older gog.com and retail versions of Blitzkrieg had crashing issues when the game.exe was assigned more than a single CPU core. Tactics and Tips.-Some general tips to get into Blitzkrieg is to take things your own phase, and to not be afraid to use artillery to soften targets up.Infantry attacks are very useful in city warfare and to deal with anti tank guns, but they are very fragile, so use the environment to your advantage by utilizing existing trenches and keep using infantry in close combat to minimize losses. Make use of trucks and APC's to move your infantry around quickly, but just remember to keep them out of harms way. Infantry squads with a commander, lone commanders and snipers can use binoculars, use it to see further than normally while staying out of enemy fire. Snipers have very good camouflage, they can stay undetected quite well while sniping, consider dropping one down behind enemy liens when possible to deal with enemy artillery.Make sure to utilize engineering trucks to their full abilities, they are capable of more than just fixing your damaged tanks up, they can repair bridges, lay mines, dig trenches, place barbwire and other handy things.
(Just remember it burns a lot of supplies, so have a supply depot nearby to restock them at.) Right click on engineering trucks to make them automatically repair everything within walking distance.Make use of abandoned enemy equipment such as anti-tank, AA guns, artillery and heavy machineguns. Capture them by right clicking on them with infantry. They can also be repaired, resupplied and towed by your supply trucks. (Some heavier artillery units may require a heavy half track supply vehicle due to its weight.)Normal trucks carry ammunition and supplies, make sure to supply your tanks, anti-tank guns and artillery when needed. Just remember to re-stock the trucks form supply depots once they start running low. Right click on them to make them automatically resupply everything within walking distance around them.You can dig in Tanks, armored cars and artillery as well as anti tank guns very quickly with dirt and sandbags. So if you know you will be attacked, always try to quickly prepare yourself by digging your stuff in to increase their defensive capabilities.
Amazon.com: BLITZKRIEG ANTHOLOGY PC Includes Original Blitzkrieg +. Bonus: add-on Iron Division comprising 16 missions and 4 multiplayer maps. Oct 16, 2012 There isn't any real coop-mode either. All you can do is to play a game with multiple friends where two or more are on one team. I havn't tried multiplayer so far, but it might be fun, if you like the gameplay itself, because humans react more realistic. However, I wouldn't buy the game for multiplayer, the focus truely lies on singleplayer.
(Just remember to make them face towards the advancing enemy.) Right click on your tanks, armored cars and guns to dig them in.Use bushes to your advantage as they can be useful for keeping anti tank guns and tanks hidden. Small cliff-sides next to roads are great ambush points, as the higher height makes your units hard to spot as long as you don't sit to close to the edge, meaning you can see and shoot them, as they cant see you and return fire until they gotten closer. Bushes and other flora can be destroyed by simply selecting the attack mode and clicking at whatever bush/tree you wish to destroy. (Very handy in town battles, where bushes and other flora may keep your units form spotting any hidden enemy infantry in buildings.)Use artillery to deal with pesky enemy artillery, anti-tank guns, and anti air guns so your normal units don't have to deal with them. Artillery is also very effective at destroying enemy dug in tanks and armored cars, and works just as good for enemy tanks and cars that's not dug in ether. (They are basically decent anti-tank guns when shooting at stuff not to far away.) if you know a pesky enemy unit is at a pesky place, but you cant see them due to fog of war, make the artillery aim at those specific coordinates by selecting the attack ground button. (looks like this: + )Tanks and armored cars have Primary and Secondary ammunition.
Primary ammo is for the main gun, while Secondary is for the machineguns, you can see the current ammunition supply in lower left when the unit is selected. (Is basically a bar.)Never underestimate air superiority, it can help you tear your enemies to shreds. Just remember the enemy forces can send in air support as well.
So if the enemy send in Ground attack planes, consider sending in Fighters to deal with them. Just don't send in your planes into Anti-Air guns, and if you do, try to destroy the enemy AA guns with artillery before sending them in.Make use of the AA guns in your base during missions, take a truck and make them tow it, and place them at a better strategic location to assist you and cover your units against enemy ground attack planes better.When dealing with enemy trenches, always try use your armored units to clean it form infantry, as infantry attacks causes heavy losses and is in general not worth it, while artillery is pretty much useless against it. Just remember that infantry in the trench may sometimes have anti tank rifles, so if you notice your lighter armored units starts losing health, ether quickly dig them in or pull them out to have them repaired. HereForTheBeer: Nope. It's chronicled here: Did you make sure to only run the game at one processor core? The game starts behaving very weird if you don't and then crash at random or during map switches/loadings. The game saves do save all craters on the map, blood spots, etc, but it should not have any performance issues with your specs.Have you tried put 'Minimal FPS' to 0 in video options?
Might be related to that considering how it slows down to snail phase for you. (Its by default set to 5 due to game was pretty demanding when it came out, or at least in some regions in eastern Europe.). WWh14: 1.
