WARNO
Is the 'cluster everything' meta getting boring?
I just find that with the more open maps, cluster is the cause of and solution to all lifes problems. So in 10v10 I pick 3 armd to use my abrams, but end up spending way more time with MLRS becuase they just wipe stuff, GDR players do the same with their RFMW, I play british infantry, but end up clustering because thats what stops any armour without risk, its what kills enemy sams guaranteed, when upvetted for quick firing, its what kills their arty. So then I switch to sovs to play a little KDA and its just smerch o'clock. Anyone else think that all this cluster is just clusterf*&%ing the game?

The most important thing to ask yourself is "am I having fun"? If yes, continue to cluster, if no, switch tactics and try something else.

No, I think it’s fine and just a result of players preferred behaviour in game

I mean, that's just 10v10, when you don't have to cover a section of the frontline and need to constantly keep your eye on your side of the map to make sure no breakthroughs happen, you have a lot of time and points available for artillery. In regular games, artillery is far, far more rarer, and Clusters are not nearly as effective.
Placid is a top player in 10v10 who scores 10k kills very commonly. He fights the front line the whole time, and is difficult to artillery because of his competent micro.

Just for everyone's little records.

There's no "top players" in 10v10 - it's a meme mode.

Airport was stated to be 9x9km in a recent devpost.

Counting 10x infantry mans per squad, 3x crew per vehicle, 1x driver per truck, 2x pilots per chopper, 1 pilot per plane, a deck has around 1,000 mans. Aka, battalion strength.

So 10v10 would be 20,000 mans fighting over 9x9km.

Khe Sanh was 45,000 mans fighting over 15x15km.

Andiivka last winter was 70,000 mans fighting over 15x15km.

So like yes you're correct. 10v10 is a scaled down kind of thing. A realistic game would have between 2x and 4x as many units.

"Muh unit spam." "Muh tacticul."

but the truck driver is not fighting, they just drop the others and leave.
also many warno squads are under 10 people.
so you need to recalculate.

It doesn't matter. Truck drivers are like 50 mans total. The point is regarding overall strength of the battalion, not the number of men actively clashing at the front line.

This idea people have that 10v10 shows some kind of anti-realistic mass number of units, is pure nonsense. Persons who feel that way are simply ignorant towards the history of conflict...

I'm not wrong. The Battle of Waterloo was fought over an area of about 9x9km. Napoleon had 72,000 soldiers, the British had 68,000 soldiers, and the Prussians had 45,000 soldiers.

The entire community is wrong lol.

10v10 has no unit spam. Real world battles are much larger.

You are comparing the Napoleonic era battles to modern battles, that's just not how it works.
You cite some numbers, but that's just amount of troops 'participating' in the battle, that doesn't mean that there's a head-on fight of
>So 10v10 would be 20,000 mans fighting over 9x9km.

How many of those are from logistics, second and third line units? You have 45,000 man but they don't fight at the same time face to face, only a portion of them take active part in battle at time, if we talk about modern conflicts.

Actually the Khe Sanh example specifically does refer to the fighting troops of combat companies. You could maybe subtract like 1,000 guys to account for their medics and engineers (sum total). So 44,000 mans.

And if you subtract logistics, communications, medical staff, etc, off Andiivka you'll probably end up with like Khe Sanh type numbers.

Also, like, military history is relevant to war, and to Wargame...

A different modern example than Andiivka;

By mid-December, the 2nd ACR had established itself in the VII Corps sector of the Saudi desert and began training to fight. The 210th Field Artillery Brigade, AH-64 Apache helicopters from 2-1 Aviation Battalion, and the 82nd Engineer Battalion joined the regiment to form "Dragoon Battle Group", a force of 8,500 soldiers.

But FYI, there were significantly more units involved overall. Like the 1st infantry's clash with the al-Medina division. I'm just comparing the 2nd ACR's clash with the Tawakalna division, the canon specific event "73 Easting." Although, the battle of Medina ridge was technically part of the same maneuver.

73 Easting occurred in a space of about 10 miles wide, I checked Google maps and used the scale in the map legend to approximate. 10 miles = 16km. *** Check that if you want. The area could've been smaller or larger.

So 8,500 vs like 14,000 infantry + 2,000~ vehicle crews.

So 24,500 fighting over 16x16km.

It's on the lower side of the scale, surely. But I mean, Andiivka was more recent and involved more men. So it's not like there's some kind of dramatic downtrend in the number of men fighting wars. Just the opposite. Global population is always increasing.
10v10 is just meme mode. Play the other mode with 4 or 8 players in total. You will see how terrible arty and if you spend all your points on arty then the other team will rush you in a combined arms play. Look at how armor division players play on those games. They don't buy tanks at the start. They buy AA and infantry. People are more dependent on mortars than howitzer or MLRS in non-10v10 modes. Meta divisions are the NATO air and mechanized divisions. Soviet 39th and 4th DDR division are the other good ones. 79th armor is terrible and 119th is good if you can survive the start of the match. 7th panzer is god awful and only useful in 10v10. 39th and 56th air divs are crap. There is no strategy or tactics in 10v10. It is just for memes and short vids on tiktok and youtube.
