The Most Overlooked WW2 RTS — Call to Arms: Gates of Hell Ostfront

There's a moment in Gates of Hell where you take direct control of a single tank crewman — manually ranging the gun, loading the shell, and firing it yourself — and it hits you that almost no other RTS lets you do this. I've played a lot of WW2 strategy games, and this is the one that got slept on the hardest. Let me show you why. Gates of Hell: Ostfront is the WW2 strategy game built on the Men of War engine that most people confuse with the 2018 title from the same studio. In this video, I break down what it actually is, why the direct-control gameplay makes it one of the deepest RTS games you can play in 2026, and then my friend and I jump into co-op to put it to the test.
