The AI can manage the air war and do ok. But a human will get much superior results. (With some practice)

What is the best Axis units to attack Soviet Rocket and Artillery Units? Whenever I attack them they retreat but cause me upto 10 times more casualties than they suffer.

[K62]

Hasty attacks with tanks work pretty well. If you don't have tanks readily available you can also attach StuG SUs. If you really need to do a deliberate attack, your best bet is to support it with multiple arty SUs named "gun" or "cannon" in order to outrange them.

Hi folks!

1) Does swamp combat modifiers change during the winter? It still increases defensive CV but I wonder if AFVs still suffer in combat.
2) Is it possible to see overall losses of a single Axis country?

Thanks in advance!

Having a brain fart. To whom do HQs attached to Antonescu attach themselves when Antonescu is dismissed on turn 19? Thanks.

Or OKH if you reassign AGA to OKH.

Is there a benefit of setting up a proper chain of command for air groups?

Like, does it matter if for example JG54 is subordinate to the 1st Fliegerkorps or simply attached to Luftflotte 1?

Thanks,

No benefit afaik.

But depending on your preferences/ADs/"Follow orders"/GS ADs it makes a differene in which planes will be availabe to do which duty....and in your case which ADs those fighters will be able to Escort.

Thank you for the answer!

Can you overrun factories in a manner that their output is completely lost to the Soviet player?

Manual 28.7.

"Basically those factories that were historically redeployed
can be moved (and will usually do so automatically) and
those that were overrun cannot be relocated.
These factories will evacuate in one of three ways:
§ The Soviet player can manually evacuate them early;
§ They will relocate on the historical date; or.
§ They will relocate if the Axis capture their location.
§ If they are evacuated using the first or third manner
they will take more damage and longer to come back
into full operation."

Based on this it, seems that the best the axis player can do is to cause some disruption/delay to the Soviet production but that is all.

If you take Saratov which was never taken historically, the Factories have no where to go and you destroy them all completely as far as I understand it.
For the Facories that have been evacuated I found this happening (just tested today).

1. If Soviets force evacuate a Factory early directly on T1, that's been set to auto-evac on T15.
   They get about 24 turns, delay (so ~14+10). So this Factoriy will then sit in it's final destination for 24 turns and produce 0.
   The factory gets about 25 Damage by doing so.
2. If it is evacuated at historical date T15.
   You get delay of ~10 Turns (so 0 Production).
   You get 25% damage.
3. If Germans manage to capture the Town before anything above happens/before T15.
   It gets ~10 turns Delay (the normal delay after the historical evac date) and additional to this all the Turns before the historical evac Date will also give no production.
   It gets 100% damage.

That's how my tests ended up. I am not 100% sure how the delays are being counted and overall when a Turn starts being counted, that's why the "~10" delay.

For me this means:

• As Germans you want to capture early as possible, since you will erase the whole production before the historical date and cause 100% damage.
• As Soviet you want to wait as long as possible to (if needed) force evac 1 Turn before you know Germans will capture it, this saves 75% of the damage, the overall Delay will be about the same as if the Germans capture it tho.

Note that normal repair speed without Force Repair repairs 3% Damage each turn.

Whats a good setting for recon missions? (schedule, strike nr., altitude)

Also, should I equip my planes with cameras? If so, which one should I use (mid or low)?

Edit:

question 2: how do you create depots/stockpile freight behind your lines? I am unable to use my transport planes as there are no depots from which they could draw freight from.

Thanks in advance,

If this has been asked, could you kindly point me to relevant topci? (I did a quick search beforehand but it yielded no tangible result)

I struggle fining Soviet stuff online, can anyone give some hints why so many Soviet Air Groups are "missing" in GC41?
