Someone on lemmy a few months ago mentioned this rts beyond all reason. Since then I've easily put 100 hours in. The game is so dam fun.

Another great one is Osu

I was introduced to BAR like 3 months ago and I still have no idea wtf I'm doing.

Online matches typically vary between these 3 experiences:

Your teams seem evenly matched in skill, 3 people on each team still have no units to speak of 30 minutes in.
One team has a true 20 openSkill player. They are consuming the other team's players whole at the 18 minute mark.
It has been 3 hours, your's and your allies' units are a river flowing forth from your bases. They clash with the sea of enemies in a flurry of dazzling sounds. The frontline has held exactly at the middle for the past hour.

It took me about 40 hours to go from Openskill 1 to os 2. I'm now os 5. I mainly play core front and just ball up tanks with a repairing station behind or I use my com to repair. Works great when it works but sometimes I get pushed before I have enough of a mass and then I'm useless and get crushed. It's definitely a chaotic game

I have no idea what os I actually am because private matches mess with it. But I usually fulfill the role of air support and it always goes one of two ways:

opponents don't bother with air, I scramble to build bombers and gunners.
Oppononents do build air and my fleet of fighters does something.

I really want to be the economy daddy but unfortunately I am not good at it. I'll have to try your strat next time I'm core front instead of flooding assault tanks with no backup.

I just heard about it for the first time in this thread, I think I'm hooked, haven't managed to beat the AI yet
