Call of War: WW2 Strategy Wiki

About a week ago I found my old copy of Hearts of Iron 4 and it made me want to play it but I didn’t have my pc system anymore, I really wanted to play that game so i looked it up on the app store just to see if anything would pop up. Instead of finding a exact copy on the iPhone I found this game. I have now been playing it for a wee and have loved it. This is the best game that I have on my phone now. I have gotten a few of my friends to play and the game is the best online game for the iPhone. I do wish that there were more options for some things, I wish there was some kind of political system where you can see and decide who the leader of your country is and what political system they follow and you and your other like minded players can spread your ideas. I also wish there were better ways to get resources faster. The only two annoying bug that I have ran into so far is, every time that you try to type, it works just fine then it has a white box under the rest of the game and it wont go away. The other one is, when you go to look at the coalitions, you cant scroll down. So you can only see the top seven coalitions on the iPhone, but over all it is the best mobile phone game.

I found this game when I was in quarantine, and have played it virtually nonstop, and loved every second of it. This game is great because you have lots of choices on what you want to do, and the fact that you can interact and form coalitions with actual people is great, not just bots. There will be some bots in your games, but they’re easy to conquer and will not be a big deal if you aren’t fighting on two fronts. If you don’t like to have to wait 7hrs for your tank to produce, 5 for your AA gun, then you’ll love swift strike. It takes much less time to move units, produce, research and build things like barracks. The only somewhat major drawback to the game is pay to win. This is not much of a problem though, as a surprise attack from two other nations could bring you down, even if you have high command and lots of gold, I know from experience. So if you have ever played games like hoi4, (hearts of iron 4) then you will enjoy this game!

This game is really fun! I have enjoyed playing this for quite a while now, but sometimes the game is weird. For example, this has happened many times and has become frustrating, sometimes the game thinks that the fastest way to get to a spot in a country is to go say around the WHOLE ATLANTIC! Even though you have already declared war on them. I tested it out, and I once sent my troops into Michigan to attack, but instead of going through their territory and taking multiple provinces, which would have taken 3 hours, told me to go around Michigan in the Great Lakes to get to the province. Also, I send my artillery and rocket artillery to attack a troop that had a question mark, aka I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t show me what it is, even when MY TROOP IS ATTACKING IT!!! Other than that, this game is really fun and I really enjoy playing it!

I was a huge risk fan for most of my life and was browsing the App Store one day and found this. I played it and loved it from the start. I love the fact that you have to be persistent and intelligent in this game to win. It’s a very rewarding experience to win because of how long each game takes. Love having to manage economy, diplomacy, and military to win and I feel that each of those factors are balanced well. I also like that you don’t have to play the game for a long period of time daily to do well, makes the game flexible with real life and jobs and daily activities. Unless you are playing a super speed map you can get away with not logging on for a day. It’s so satisfying to work hard building economy early game and strategizing against other intelligent enemies to try to sneak attack them or exploit weaknesses. Can’t recommend it enough.

I think the game is great but there are some problems! 1.) the inactivity in this game is so terrible that in a lobby of 22 it is just me and my coalition that are still active. At a rare time there will be two other guys who are still playing. This makes the game boring. 2.) High command and those with good money to spare are always going to win unless you are allies with them. It was day 10 and I was already attacked by 20 artillery and many other units. I stood no chance. 3.) The newspapers are quite offensive with players calling other countries and players terrible things like fascist and things like that. 4.) creating and alliance has never been so difficult in any other game. I have created like 20 names and it keeps telling me that is is invalid or some is already using it!! I started to searchI got names on the internet desperate that it would accept it but it kept saying the same thing. They need to fix this so I can make an alliance!m and so others can too!!! DO NOT TELL ME TO GO TO SUPPORT BECAUSE I DO NOT GET RESPONSES. So if they respond with telling me to go support then you know it is bots responding and not the devs. Please fix this and not respond with some nonsense that is not important.

So the game is great I recommend it but there’s a silly setup in the construction/production menu. Say you begin building a unit and up on the top of the menu you’ll see the unit being built and the remaining time it has. Here’s the thing to that goofy setup. To exit that menu you obviously have to hit “X” but exactly right below it is the “use gold to speed production button”. I went from 30k gold to 22k. Just because my fat finger hit it before the “X” :( I mean it’s my bad but maybe implementing a “Are you sure you want to use x amount of gold to speed production?” That should be put in whenever you choose to use gold. Because it gives the player that extra decision if he/she wants to go through with it. Just an idea being throw out there. :D The game however is awesome. I mean yeah gold being used in this game kind of makes it a pay to win but it’s whatever. It’s fun going against other players and forming powerful alliances. I do wish this app would be closer to what it’s like on the computer. I want to see each troop’s health rather than an average amount of morale.

I joined this game in November of 2018 and have played for usually about 8 months at a time and then fall off for a bit... Just yesterday I began playing again for the first time in probably 6 months and their are certainly differences. I agree with most of them but I don’t like the introduction of doctrines personally. I don’t feel like certain nations should have a ‘booster’ or ‘perk’ based off of a doctrine. I feel like it makes me less immersed in global, attritional combat and makes the game seem more arcadey. I’m sure I’m in the minority with this feeling so I’m fine with it being added, just please allow people to either toggle it off or join game modes that don’t have the doctrines in place. Personally I only really play 1939 Historic World War and a couple of event modes so as long as that has a non-doctrine mode I’m fine. Other then that I do like the majority of the improvements and despite the game still crashing a lot, it seems it doesn’t do it quite as much as before. That could also be bc I upgraded from an iPhone 7 to an 11 PRO though 😂

This is amazing, when you really try to learn this game and get a hang of the mechanics and how things work it’s amazing the strategy is there and I’ve had a game go on for 2 months and 12 days so plenty of time to get recourses and build provinces. I got a level 3 nuclear bomb and level 3 Nuclear bombers and dropped at least 25 nukes and they that 1 and a half days to produce. Each time my nuke hit a city everyone was notified it was in the news paper and it makes you feel like you really did something and changes the course of the game. 1 thing I would like more detail to is the news paper about violent uprising is certain provinces, it has 1 sentence that repeats a bunch of times to make it look like a paragraph and I would like that more detailed of the events that may of happened and more pictures there’s only like 5 different pictures that are always used. There are Thousands of pictures of WW2 and I would like to see more used other than that amazing game spent a little money on it and would recommend it thanks.

Personally I like the update as it adds some fresh graphics which makes the game visually pleasing. Honestly I could stare at it all day! However there are 3 main issues: 1. Fog of war darkness needs to be amped up. I always keep it on but sometimes it’s hard to discern your territory from their’s because the shading will go all weird. 2. Some countries share colors. Now normally this isnt a problem but in this one match one country took a lot of land and ended up next to a country with the same color and shading. It was really confusing. 3. The “add army” selection doesn’t really work anymore. Sometimes the plus sign won’t pop up at all or it will only pop up for a small region around the selection target. Of course you could always tap the unit itself and it will select it, but this is not the case for small provinces as it will do the circle thing that asks if you want to select the province or the unit. This cancels the “add army” command which gets annoying.

Great game. I’ve played the online version for years. So, I was excited to see an app was produced and I dove right in. Besides the bigs that others have mentioned (issues with white space after typing and not being able to scroll the coalition menu), I unfortunately picked up two very frustrating problems that have lead me to abandon the game. Firstly, within a matter of less than a minute of playing my phone would start to heat up. Like as in very, very hot. Unfortunately, the online version has also caused my acer laptop to over heat in ways I’m not used to have happen - leading to slow downs and random shut downs. I was playing a 100 person game that was 4x the usual speed and limited to two weeks - assuming the numbers of updates increased as well I’m wondering if that might have had something to with this? Either way, the heat that it’s causing in my laptop and phone can’t be good for my devices. Also, the app would constantly reboot. Screen would go white, followed by the familiar loading screen, and back to the game I was busy with. Not sure if it’s related to the over-heating issue, but super irritating.

This game is very fun for those who would like to take over the world, but it is VERY laggy. It used to be fine but over time got worse and worse. It’s bad to the point I can’t even log in a game anymore. Don’t think it’s my WIFI, my WIFI is just fine. it’ll log into the game for half a second then restart, then do the same thing but then sit in a black screen after and not do anything. This is very frustrating and I would really appreciate it if you fix this problem. If it helps my phone is an IPhone 7s+. Sure it’s kinda a little old but it’s never had problems like this until now. Another thing I would like to point out is the fact that that the game runs smoother in enhanced graphics mode and MUCH worse when disabled, and then every time there is a small lagg spike it’ll kick me off enhanced graphics to where it is much more laggy in unenhanced graphics (not sure if that’s a word). This could be the problem because it appears to be trying to kick me off enhanced graphics when the game crashes. Thank you and hope you fix these problems.

This game is great strategy game. However, there Are several balancing issues with artillery and railroad gun. For people who really don’t know the game, almost every unit in this game have a counter to it. If someone have an army(consist of 10 units) of only tanks, build some anti tank gun. If someone have only aircraft, build some anti aircraft gun. You get the deal. It force you to think about having a balanced army which is a good think. However, if you survived into the late game(after day 8), you will probably run into players who will build multiple armies of either artillery or railroad gun, which you have absolute no counter to. They can kill literally armies at a distance away. It is a pain when trying to kill them because they just simply run away. This is especially true when trying to conquer enemy's territories when your armies is 50% slower. You can’t really kill them with aircrafts or rockets. Only way to have your own artillery armies. So it forces you to play the same way: artillery armies. This basically defeats the whole goal of what the game suppose to be.

A fun game for strategy lovers, but plagued with problems, at least on mobile (what I use). Usually your phone becomes warm when you play a game right? But when your phone goes warm with this game, it crashes. It force changes your settings for no reason, lags badly, and then gives either a black or white screen. I have never experienced this issue with games before. I can play games that load much more and take much more space on my phone that never give me an issue for hours and hours. Ten minutes on this thing is laggy, add another 5-10 and your crashing and can’t play until your phone is comeplety cool. You can’t use your phone during that time either cause that keeps the phone warm. Also, this is in an air conditioned room. If your like me and have been to literal deserts and much hotter places than a.... air conditioned room. You know how fast that phone warms (like 1 minute) which already is the end of your game playing time for this game. (For reference, I am using an IPhone 7+, and I always play with the case off so no issue with cause making it to hot.) Edit: I also want to say that the more colorful graphic version lags my phone badly, but right now I can’t even switch to the working graphics because now they also cause me to crash. I am now having this issue even when my phone is not hot.

I got banned from a global chat on my phone for singing country roads with other people in a chat room..We were all having fun until somebody banned me from the chat room for talking in all caps, ...I wasn’t talking I was singing and having fun with a video game that takes 24 hours to move a character so chat rooms are what makes it fun at times, everyone in the chat room was even asking why I was banned...I then had to ask the help team a question about the game so I went to the help chat only to realize that when I got banned for doing what everyone else was doing I was banned from asking for help..so I realized I had the app on my steam account..I had a different account that I never used so I went to the help chat and asked why I was banned from asking for help on my other account and then immediately banned me from all chat rooms permanently because having two accounts is against the terms of service...I understand that because I hit agree, but what makes me angry is the fact that they never even answered my question, and not only that, I can still play on both accounts, they just banned me from talking to anybody on a chat room, so it’s s fun game yeah but just watch what you say in any chat room and make sure u don’t do what others are doing because u can and will get banned for dumb reasons
