Has some issues though, there's a strange obsession with scavenging loot off your enemies and finding treasures to get points to use on weapons and stuff.. not sure why these mechanics are even present and there are luckily mods to remove the systems and replace them with better progression systems.
It could also really benefit from added depth/complexity as it really is just direct engagements between ground infantry/vehicles with little meta-game (just shifting control of the campaign map over several locations which decides where you fight and stuff, sort of like foxhole), and beyond some side objectives like sabotaging or going behind enemy lines to capture areas alone (as in just you and your squad) which are tons of fun, there isn't much to do and you could get bored easily.
It's a charming concept with fun to be had, but, once the initial appeal chaffs thin, you're left a game of bewildering design choices.
