head to head
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
American trucking sim about long hauls and growth.

Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Solving firefights as flanking geometry problems with suppression as the key tool.
American Truck Simulator leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Flanking geometry and squad orders solve every firefight
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
