Excellent post.

Thank you sir! Could the Developer offer any input on why these were left out? Or if possible to put in?

I've seen the "Jacksonville gambit" discussed a few times, but for all the attention it receives, I'm not sure it's something that actually needs to be fixed, or that it would be desirable to do so. Historically Jacksonville was taken unopposed, albeit in early 62 rather than mid-61: the ...

For example Jacksonville: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yV6DMOmoEQc&list=PLNFRq_HE2d_Xt6WKtOe71T9dz20IYWL8t&index=4 Could we delay the Union shore landings a bit? At least until after the landings in the Carolinas? The Southern coast was thousands of miles long, but for military value it w...

Yes but not just Stalingrad. I just always thought it odd that Crete was the only time you heard of him concerned with loss of life. Hitler was unpredictable at times. For a man who worshiped at the altar of symbolism, he was absolutely livid over a small military expedition that climbed and plante...

I always wondered why Hitler was so concerned with the paratrooper losses in the battle for Crete but never cared about any other losses in future battles such as Stalingrad it was always never retreat die defending etc... Probably because he saw Crete as wasteful sideshow, and it did eventually be...

I can think of at least two historical examples of long range paratroop drops in World War II - German invasion of Crete and Operation Market Garden. Both of those were high risk attempts to drop Para units way behind enemy lines in places where the enemy weren't expecting it - or at least accordin...

Are we only talking about 44-45 here? So if by late war in history the Germans had no skilled fighter pilots left that means in this game if you still do have elite fighters they should do nothing against strat bombers? During 1943, only about 25% of Eighth Air Force bomber crewmen completed their ...

The Allies actually did not have an answer to Manstein fueled panzers early war that is historical. The Axis actually could defend themselves against Allied strat bombers that is historical. What is the problem again? We are worried because the allies will actually have to repair their bombers like...

i think that the earlier proposed fighter changes are fine, but i wouldnt want to reduce them to 1 strike as some others have recommended in the past. the fighter change will probably result in needing to repair the strategic bombers more often, which will slightly slow down an allied railroad shut...

strategic bombers are generally used for 2 things: 1. reduce MPP, so that could be french mines or oilfields in the USSR/middle east 2. cut supplies - this makes it difficult for axis to reinforce, as they are unable to operate units to the affected area. it takes alot of strat bombers to achieve t...

jaja A long time ago i dont read any of this forums dont waist your funny stupid post with me A long time agoo I rarely do understand one of your posts. And i really do think that no one does. How about using Google translate or something? Is he drunk or on drugs? What is happening? :lol:

heavy bomber tech and max strategic bombers is definitely worth and should be a top priority. ive seen some players skip advanced tanks as the USA and just go heavy into infantry, but im not sure im ready to make that jump. Honestly I'm still not very impressed by production tech, but not sure Id c...

I just checked the Strat's vs. fighters. Felt it odd that that they start with a defense of zero, less than Tacs and Mediums... But they get a full point for each level of Strat that they gain, which is overkill. Despite it bristling with guns the Japanese took a decent toll of the B-29 in the Paci...

Allies had more planes, than pilots. Heard that, not sure if true. There certainly was alot of Airmen killed & captured. I don't know the true war stats. Far as the game, the "little cities", seems pointless. "big cities", yeah. Early years, yeah it helps, at least makes it ...

The actual Anti-Air ground units, are solid, a must have as Germany, Russia. As Germany, it seems the AA for intrinsic added to a city is worthless once the war hits 1944. Allied Bombers level everything and anything. Why am I bother putting 50 MMPs unless it's a major city. The extra AA for a city...

Here is a link to some of my old music for the Japanese side.

In addition to this I listen to the soundtrack from HBO's "The Pacific" and "Band of Brothers" for that epic feel...

Maybe at this point it's best to announce the final update has been cancelled that way if it actually ever gets released before the Second Coming everyone will be pleasantly surprised? Grateful and appreciative of the team still supporting this game that we may see an update to the beta patch befor...

Ah yes I see. But I was looking at this from my air force perspective. I get 9 supply putting my bombers in the fjord? Probably not 9 supply. Although both land-based and naval units can enter a fjord hex, (just not at the same time) land or air units usually get a low red number due to the lousy t...

5 in a town but 9 in a fjord? Why are fjords such great supply areas?
