Re: Quick Questions Thread

You can try what I do when advancing as Germany, to: 1. Take an airfield with your ground forces. 2. Move the ground forces out of the airfield. 3. Fly in Ju52s with freight. 4. Move an AG to the airfield. ...this way you initially/instantly get some Air Support Crews on the airfield. IF you mix th...

Re: Let us reform the Red Army of Workers and Peasants! Advice needed

In general, another question: What are the things that the Red Army is likely to run out of in the pool? MANPOWER and VEHICLES I know are a bottleneck; what else will become scarce?
Recon air frames?

Re: Comat Prep Point Gain

Without running enough tests to be conclusive, perhaps the sequence is as stated. CPP are gained at the end of the friendly movement phase. All units will gain one CPP for each 24 unused SMP. If units end the turn neither adjacent to the enemy nor in a hex that was not friendly controlled at the sta...

Re: Comat Prep Point Gain

I don't think the triple bonus applies to Assault CU's. So, 25 is max gain?

Re: Turn 1 German Air Losses

K62's results are outstanding especially from a VVS pilot loss perspective. I have yet to figure out how to drive the Luftwaffe to intercept during the ground phase to that extent. I'm also hesitant to loose that many fighters/pilots. Here are the results I'm getting with the latest patch. . VG Air ...

You can still do a lot of damage to the Soviet air force. The intercepts they conduct are actually conducive to shooting down many of those fighters. T1 air execution complete pictured below. .
