RE: patch 1.02 - Work in progress
Adding flavors to Tac Bombers would be great. Right now I'm using them only to increase the Odds of a land battle to 7-1 when needed. Even so the cost of rebuilding those TAC bombers when they get losses just to destroy an INF Corps is prohibitive. Really not showing how Air Power could be devastating especially when having Air Superiority. Attacks have been wholly stopped because Air Power did destroy enough tanks to render that attack useless.
Also having only a few air units and the costs to build those makes it even harder to have a real impact on the front line. So maybe air attacks should be against the main target + collateral damage on every enemy adjacent units. For flavor you could add a small chance for friendly fire.
Anyway I'm planning a game with the USSR right now and I find out a few things to improve:
- Hungary takes part of Rumania event (Transylvania). So indeed historically Hitler forced Rumania to give up part of its territory to Hungary so no issue of having that event in place of course. Now in my game I did invade Rumania with the USSR and I was controlling the major part of the territory to be given to Hungary... and the even still took place. I got back my units but there is no reason I would have agreed to do that with the USSR knowing I would have to fight Hungary later anyway. At least this should trigger another event if Rumania and USSR are at war in this case asking if the USSR want to give that territory to Hungary. Maybe with the benefit of having Hungary going from Axis to Neutral.
- As the USSR I did the Winter War with Finland and it was going well but suddenly Finland gave up some territories and sue for peace... and I had no choice to accept it or not. Of course I went back to war the next turn but that didn't make sense.
- Sweden seems not to care that Finland is under USSR control. There could be an event where Sweden decides to lean more on the Axis side to get protection or ask a treaty of non-aggression with the USSR in exchange for something (going Neutral, some PP per turn,...).
- Ultimatum to get Bessarabia from Rumania, as Rumania didn't reply I invade them and then they just went to die without even proposing to accept the ultimatum in exchange for peace. Also they went directly to Axis and suddenly I was at war with Germany. At least Germany could choose to defend Rumania or not and if not they would be out of the Axis alliance. Or force the USSR to either accept Bessarabia for peace or to declare War to Germany at a cost (SU or Political pts).
- Even after accepting the alliance with Germany and the partition of Poland you can still attack Germany at no costs for the USSR. There should be some Social Unrest or Political pt to spend for doing this which would be a reason for the USSR to refuse the pact if their view is to attack Germany anyway.
- Para drops, the range is so much more than even what I get with my Strategic Bombers. So doesn't really make sense and that range should depend on the Air Technological level. Also seems there is no limit to the Air Transport pts while this was a critical problem even for the Allies at the end of the war. See the movie "A Bridge too far" to understand this. There should be an Air Transport pts system like the STP. Then maybe allow INF Divisions to be airlifted as well.
Good thing otherwise is that once at war with Germany I didn't get the chance to get the Baltic States as per the pact with Germany. Makes sense.

RE: patch 1.02 - Work in progress
doesn't it cut the bottom of your screen?
We have decided to do that as this is a bug, and for less tech-experienced people causing a situation where the game is unplayable.

RE: patch 1.02 - Work in progress
With no taskbar at the bottom, the cut-off is very small and the game is perfectly playable. Maybe instead of deleting this option there could be a warning popup about the resolution chosen?

Added new modifier changing effectiveness of armored units in cities (both defending and attacking)
Great!
To allow defender combat witdrawing from cities and fortresses (if only as a modding choice) would be good. Right now you can give the defense bonus you like, so the no witdraw feature only leads the defender to certain annihilation and to a siege war.
RE: patch 1.02 - Work in progress
Any chance of getting the Qattera Depression map adjustment added as part of the patch?

RE: patch 1.02 - Work in progress
This needs some serious testing, as I would like to try implementing it in little bit different way, so if yes, no sooner than in 1.03
RE: patch 1.02 - Work in progress
Just curious. 'Serious Testing' has me a bit baffled. I suppose the AI could get hung up on a map change. What other testing is needed? Clearly it would affect play balance with human players but that is the point.
Obviously we don't want to introduce a bug.
-Thanks

RE: patch 1.02 - Work in progress
We just fixed (yes Saturday late night) problem with doubled (or tripled) convoy route.
This means that the supply system should be 100% effective with the new rules where units are choosing city providing best supply level instead the closest one.
What is even more important this means we are starting to lean into the patch release path, most probably as soon as the new upkeep system will be finished.
