Why are my divisions not upgrading their TOE's?

<t> I have a number of British/US divisions (especially armored) past their TOE upgrade date, they are sitting on supply centers with refit on, and they are not upgrading. I can't figure it out, the Guards armor division is 3 months past its upgrade date and is still rocking crusader IIIs as the inv...

Port priority vs rail head priority

<t> I'm really trying to learn more about the supply side of the game as it is my weakest area of knowledge (Strategy is for amateurs, logistics are for professionals right?). I find the manual to be kinda hard to understand, and I have always been a visual learner but there are not too many videos ...

What am I missing about air group morale?

<t> Did something change with air group morale from a few months back? My air groups (especially tactical air force in the Med) just collapse morale wise and I have no clue why. It is not excessive losses, my plane losses are not more then 200-300 losses a week. The fatigue is low, so its not that t...

RE: WitW crashes immediately upon start up

Tried running as admin, no luck. What details do you need? It just says "WarInTheWest Application has stopped working", then tries to (unsuccessfully) diagnose the problem. Really doesn't say anything else that is useful.

WitW crashes immediately upon start up

<t> I can't get the game to start up anymore, when I use quick start the game immediately crashes with "Application has stopped working" error and the game window being white. Entering through the Game menu also doesn't work. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, different patches etc. Doesn't matter if...

Any advantages to having Mosquito Bombers in Bomber Command?

<t> So historically, Mosquito's played a big role in the RAF night offensive as pathfinders, harassers (dropping the odd bomb on Berlin), or diversionary tactics (spreading Window to simulate bomber swarms). Do they do anything beyond adding some minor tonnage to Bomber Command, or is it worth while...

Is there anyway to bulk change fighter squadrons HQs?

<t> Been meaning to start up another game with the new Beta patch, but I cannot for the life of me motivate myself to individually change the HQs of dozens of Allied fighter squadrons again, or try to track them down and move them to an airbase and change their HQs there. I always drastically reorga...

RE: Night Fighter vs. Night Fighter

<t> Its hard to know, the British didn't really put much effort into night escorts until later in the war, which I feel was a mistake. The British night fighters were pretty much superior to the German designs (Mosquito vs BF110s), and the Serrate detection devices will give even slower designs an a...

RE: Any way to get your para's to drop AFTER your invasiont troops hit the beach?

<t> Okay, is there any way to NOT get them annihilated when I drop them? Its a fortified zone with 3000 guys in a 10km hex, why am I losing reinforced para divisions (each div has an extra regiment attached) to the man when they have a 95/100 preparation level? Or is this a bug with the new .21beta?...

Any way to get your para's to drop AFTER your invasiont troops hit the beach?

<t> So I'd really like to have para's down to help the invasion divisions fight off the AI counter attack, but the para's drop before my troops hit the beach and they get absolutely destroyed by the fortified zones on the coast, like all 4 para divisions are lost due to "fatal scatter hex" message b...

Depot tips

<t> I am still unsure how to maximize the efficiency of my supply system. I understand having depots as close to the frontline as possible is good, but what about all those ports in Italy and France? Should I have depots in every port so they get supply which will get trained/trucked to the frontlin...

<t> The merlin Halifax's were different beasts compared to the Hercules powered Mark III's, but the older models were pretty much death traps even for bomber command.<br/> <br/> The earlier Halifax's with merlin engines (I's, II's and V's) had a very low survival rate by late 1943 and early 1944.
