RE: Does the CV Thingie Benefit Infantry over Armor?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: gradenko_2000<br/> <br/> The CVs as you're describing them are basically just [device type * CV multiplier for that type].<br/> <br/> Yes, it is possible for a lot of infantry squads to have as much displayed CV as a few Tiger tanks, but the way the simulation work...

RE: Nice.... an I-15 can outclimb the Me-262A, uh?

<r> A bit more food for thought, from Aces High - these guys seem to be pretty serious about their game. A caveat about quoting figures from a game... a game is a game, of course, but I think these folks took a lot of care about this, given the game is pretty much about flying.<br/> <br/> I think th...

RE: Nice.... an I-15 can outclimb the Me-262A, uh?

<t> Another thought is that I wouldn't be surprised if Stalin published or leaked inflated performance values for the aircrafts, just to confuse everybody and make them fear the Red Army.<br/> <br/> After all, if there's one thing that I'm sure Stalin and his generals didn't want was to look weak.

RE: Nice.... an I-15 can outclimb the Me-262A, uh?

<t> Alright... another example... I-16 Type 18... a 1938 design, is listed with climb rate of 3,192 ft/min, still over-climbing the Spitfire IX, a 1944 design, which has better speed, power, power/weight, engine, turbo-charger and everything else one can think of. Same thing with Hs 123A and other b...

<t> I'm still skeptical...<br/> <br/> I-153BS.. loaded weight 1,900 kg... power 775 hp... power/ratio = 407 hp/ton<br/> Spitfire IX... loaded weight 3,350 kg... power 1,720 hp... power/ratio = 513 hp/ton<br/> <br/> So the Spitfire has more speed, power, power/weight ratio, maneuverability and everyt...

<t> Thought of sharing some numbers I crunched:<br/> <br/> This is for the Soviet Union, on 6/22/1941. The numbers below are for the Armament components in Active units (pools excluded); that is, those components that are just produced under the "A" numbers in the Production screen.

Hmm... Combined Arms Army, Shock Army, Tank Army... ay-ay-ay...

I see in the editor for the 41-45 scenario that Shock Army HQs have a start date in 1941, but I can't actually create a Shock Army HQ, right?

Another question... a Shock Army... does it have a Combined Arms HQ capacity with 24/21/18 cp, or a Tank Army HQ capacity of 15?
