<t> Harking back to a thread in the protean days of this forum, I am again dismayed to see people questioning the effectiveness of artillery. These questions stem from a very uninformed view of modern warfare.<br/>
<br/>
Fact: In WW2 75-80% of the casualties were caused by artillery. Anyone who ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>If there would have been no bombing then german production would have increased much more and might have managed to keep up a decent replacement rate for the eastern front. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Possibly but factories dont make babies. The germans were never in the ...

<t> Lets talk facts. You just speculate.<br/>
<br/>
Fact: 80% of German combat power on East Front<br/>
Fact: Russians kill more germans in one month June44 than western Allies kill in entire war 1939-45.<br/>
Fact: The western theaters were a side show to the east theater as is evinced by the ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>If you factor in civilian deaths as a result of WW2, I'm sure the contributions of artillery will be smaller. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Utterly irrelevant as this game does not model citizen casualties. <br/>
<br/>
You think WW2 was won by military strategy? WOW, I ...

PT is lots of fun.
Art in PT is very destructive

Therefor destructive arty and fun are not exclusive.

<br/>
During WW2 over 70% of the casualties were caused by artillery. Thus imo PT models this quite well. <br/>
<br/>
The way to make artillery more realistic is not to reduce its killing power ...

<t> Define realistic.<br/>
<br/>
Artillery than can fire over mountains is probably not realistic, artillery that can totally devestate OPFOR moving down a tight mountain pass = highly realistic.<br/>
<br/>
Much if not most of WW2 was simply decided by the supply and the logistics of getting ...

<t> In an other thread it is said the Arty has been toned down to make it more "realistic."<br/>
<br/>
I wonder if the poster who said this has much idea about what is actually realistic. During WW2 artillery caused the vast majority of casualties. Indeed the only thing that limits the killing ...

<t> Well I think some things count against the Russians in this scenario. 50/50 chance of bad weather in November is much muchto soft on the Germans it should be closer to 85/15 90/10 may even be closer to real weather conditions. In WW2 the first snows started in October and by Nov 19 the realy bad ...

<t> I was just playing Devils Hill as the allies.<br/>
<br/>
In this scenario the Axis powers main asset is there powerfull artilery. This can bombard exposed units into submission. I wanted to evict some axis forces from some woods and push them beyond the tree line into the polder beyond. <br ...
