Re: are soviet units overrated ?

I hope it is in line with the whole discussion here. I have the following article that I find it quite interesting. It might have it flaws, but it gives lots of things to talk about and new perspectives. I have unfortunately lost the link and more reference data due to a recent HD failure... have be...

Re: are soviet units overrated ?

Capn, the fact that I, as a red player mostly (yes, I am evil, sorry, there is nothing I can do about it...a BMP, Shilka, T-80, Hind or a Su-25 silluettes and power are too sexy for me to resist...I feel compelled to try to reach the Rhine river... :lol: ), feel the game as the opposite way at what ...

Re: are soviet units overrated ?

Who's not trying to study and understand the Russians? I think we could point to a ton of people in the west, from pros to us amateur's that have spent a lifetime fascinated by the world's largest country and its vast array of people. I think the LTC is a little presumptuous. Based on the western c...

Re: are soviet units overrated ?

I just genuinely hope we don't risk biasing the game. This is a great simulation. Too strong, too weak...I do still think it depends on the side you are playing. I play mostly with the reds, you can imagine based on my avatar...:)...and I feel hard as hell playing with them. Can't see much, can only...

Re: are soviet units overrated ?

I suggest digging more on different opinions and analysis, such as from McGreggor below, specially on an ongoing war, before naively making assumptions on russian hardware. There are even more updated analysis on his channel. "I think folks today are possibly a bit prejudiced by what we are see...

Re: Orders delay

Got it. Thanks! I have also noticed, as prevoulsy stated by Mike, in one of the dev logs that the national excel has a new delay column in minutes at the leaders tab. Could be, it seems, an option for modding the order delay as well. Interesting... love the modding potential that the devs are giving...

Re: Orders delay

Thanks Mike! It is I think more hardcoded in Red Storm. I am referring to delays at applying orders for the units in general, not the artillery, or calling airstrikes, that indeed you can adjust in the Nation excel..

My best wishes to you too.

Orders delay

For the ones that are already playing the game, hows the general feeling regarding orders delay? It is used to be sometimes quite harsh with Red Storm sometimes...or at least i remember lots of discussions about it back then...I understand that the devs put a lot of work on this too...could this be ...
