Every vehicle can be damaged, lose a track or an engine, and if you encounter an abandoned tank or a truck, you can capture it like in Men of War.

Each unit has a predefined supply of ammo and fuel, which needs to be replenished using special trucks. Field of view is a key aspect to the game, as tanks can get blasted by hidden infantry units before they can fire a single shot. The game rewards tactical approach, compelling you to attack from the flank, surround your enemies, or rely on the eyes of the scouts and the might of the artillery. Sudden Strike 4 poses little challenge to a seasoned RTS veteran, especially in the campaign mode (although even they may find some useful advice in our guide), but it may be rough for a beginning player. If you make a mistake and lose too many soldiers, you may find your forces too weak to make the final push. New units will be given to you when you complete objectives or as reinforcements. Here, however, you won't be building a base or train units. Your units will include tanks, infantry, artillery, and air support, and the battles and giving out orders is very similar to Company of Heroes. You'll be commanding the armies of the greatest WWII-era countries.

While at first the game may seem like a 100% classic RTS, it features a significant number of gameplay solutions appearing in tactical games. The game itself is a sequel to a famous strategy game series and a rather good successor to the previous installments. The guide to Sudden Strike 4 will help you master all the essential elements of gameplay and those that are related to the campaigns.
