Game Manual

[NIKKKkkk]

Where is it!! The original RO had a good informative manual!

joa good question, I'm missing it as well. Some explanations could be helpfull for some before entering the game. For example what's the difference between mortar and artillery support? What's up with the recon plane etc

I guess single player could be considered a great manual, there are lots of training missions in the german campaign that teaches you all of the basics. I personally don't remember a manual for RO1 anyways

A good manual for a quality game should be standard.

the boxed version of RO1 (maybe just the special editon) had even a chart with the best hitlocations for tanks.
something like this should be also included in the digital version, and of course for free...

As literacy rates among gamers continue to plummet, and ADD continues to rise, manuals have become less and less common for any game. I wouldn't be surprised if no such document exists, although I'd love to read it if it does.

RO1 had a good manual (38 pages) and a great history and tactics guide (95 pages), Keyboard layouts for US, UK and Germany. Hopefully Tripwire will come up with the same for RO2.

There's already a topic on this. But still can we get a dev response here?

I'm not doing another 90-page strategy and tactics guide! There is a Quickstart lurking somewhere (for retail) that we can put up here. Maybe with a little more time, I'll write up something in between...

Mortars: smaller strike, lighter weight of explosives, quicker to get the next strike ready. Basically 81/82mm mortar support. High angle trajectory - handy for dropping into tight spaces.

Artillery: Medium (105/122mm) arty, heavier weapons, slightly longer between salvos and longer between strikes.

Rocket: Nebelwerfer/Katyusha battery firing - wide area splattered in one big salvo. Takes quite a while to reload.

That sort of thing?

Don't forget the proper rifle cleaning technique!

Could we get tank diagrams with hit loactions at least? If its actually that hard then dont do it I would'nt blame you.
Also thanks for the quick response.

And the proper way to change a tank tread!

Well pay someone else to do it then.

A game without a manual. Whatever next?
