I have not been impressed by the so called “king of battle” (artillery) in this game. What am I doing wrong or is it nerfed? Many independent battalions combined seems to do not much.

Tips to maximize effectiveness? What am I doing wrong?

I have a really well developed road and rail network. I think I might just be trying to support too large a force.

<t> What rules help you decide when a new SHQ is needed? I have a big and empire growing on 3 fronts and I'm running into logistics problems. <br/> <br/> Not sure if I just need 1 SHQ for each front or what. Advice and manual quotes would really help, I took a look but I didn't notice any mention of...

Easiest to do on enemy city, use plenty of 50+ MT nukes and some turns.

That's called nuclear engineering.

<t> I think some models becoming obsolete works. I think the ATGM has completely replaced towed antitank guns in the modern military as an example. The antitank gun as we think of it from WWII was a solution for 10-20 years to get firepower that could kill a tank down at the infantry level. Once we ...

This was the same issue I had in my game. I reported it and gave a save Vic said he was going to adjust some things.

<t> "What is logistics? Where does it come from kids?"<br/> <br/> I'll be honest I still don't really get it, I just build up my truck depots and railyards with the occasional supply base here and there and say a prayer.<br/> <br/> I'm developing an intuition where I'm like "Yeah I'll be screwed if ...

Please consider reupload to youtube to broaden audience. This is a great game, thanks for getting the word out.

<t> "Both Critical Air and Critical Ground speed seem to get bigger with lower air pressure. I guess it is the Max Speed from Air-resistance."<br/> <br/> That makes sense, with denser atmo you have more lift right?<br/> <br/> "Max Air Speed is barely affected by the pressure drop. So the Dogfighting...

LOL, love this game, so compliscated. When somebody really cracks the hood I'm amazed twice, once at the elegance of the way certain systems work, and then that it works at all.

The developer is a stud.

I just picture something like Richthofen up in a small plane during the Poland campaign.

<t> The current Shield pod program for the USAF is working for a laser that can shoot down attacking missiles and other aircraft inside visual range and several articles claim the power supply from the aircraft carrying the system in an external pod would be "infinite" (they don't define how many sh...

I thought speed translated to action points somehow, always seemed like my heavier tanks ran out of attacks first.

If it has no combat effect that does seem wrong.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Clux<br/> <br/> yes, you can do it right now with the air forces, the issue its than you can only move 1 single unit per air assault, so its not really effective honestly <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Ah, I knew helicopters were in the game, but I didn't know there...

Air cav in space, you know you want it

Is that ever coming? I heard Navies, didn't hear about airborne or air mobile.

Hah, I didn’t even know how to have them fly intercepts or caps prior to this thread. The way I’d been achieving air superiority is sending my fighters with my bombers every time. They come up to stop me my fighters kill a bunch of them.

Good stuff.
