<r> I am sorry if I did not make myself clear enough. It seems that we have two disagreements here.<br/>
<br/>
1) Although with no hard evidence, I strongly believe that AI knows which factory is retooling and apparently avoid attacking retooling sites. This is coming from my observation of a ...

but, really, your wrong, it is much better to hit them while they are retooling, you can do so much more damage, and distruption to the system, then to wait for them to come back on line<br/>
<br/>
what I am saying, how many targets are ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Hard Sarge<br/>
I am not really sure that is cheating, or just the odds, if it was bombing every factory that you start to retooling, then I would think it was cheating, but to not bomb them, ?????

It's surely beyond odds. I ran a test ...

I have a strong feeling that AI Allied is cheating on recon. I never saw AI bombing my retooling factories, perhaps with the exception of target of opportunity.

Yup! Tell me about it! In the first five days 17 pilots scored at least one kill a day on average. Almost half of them are from ZG26 gruppes which are flying ...

<r> When you say the jet engines are not the "best buildable", do you mean there is a hidden penalty in the game to hinder jet engine production? When I have 5 fully functional Me262 lines, is it more likely I only get 4 or even 3 jets every day?<br/>
<br/>
Without know the penalty, I would say ...

<t> We know that every 100 preproduction model made can bring new a/c one month ahead of time. The problem is, I believe, no a/c will be availble to use until the first day of the following month when the new type is deemed available. This may result a significant waste on "unnecessay R&D".<br ...

but the game does handle units surrending, not sure if with in the code, it figures the 2nd Para is going to be surrended or disbanded when the 44 campaign begins

Indeed. The poor boys of 2nd Para were sent to East Front ...

is the defence line still being formed ?
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
It is. The two forward divisions pulled back to the line after a week. In comparision with '44 scenario opening, different units are holding the line. Are they going to be replaced ...

It takes one day for them to move north, although on the map they move instantaneously. The flaks stayed there for a few days, then all of a sudden just gone!

<t> Sure. I need to take retooling time into consideration. At least I will wait until Allies demolishes Bussing NAG. It takes time for the new factories to grow, perfect time to for retooling the CFAC.<br/>

By confiscating G55s and MC205s before the Italians surrender, I am not desparately ...

It seems that you are not the only one. Most of my garrisons are slightly beyond the line as well. What surprised me is that 26th Panzer and 1st Para are even stationed in the towns of Vasto and Termoli, which are way beyond the Gustav Line. All the ...

That's brilliant! Thanks! So if I divert two major Me106G-6 factories to Ta152H early on, I shall get the new toy in spring 1944. Just in time to counter P-51Ds.

Okay, I just figured out that P-51D arrives in April '44, Me110-4/U8 in January '44.

Manual says Allies get P-51D as early as 1st Jan 1944. Clearly not the case when trying '44 campaign. On the other hand, does anybody have a list of arrival date for Axis new types without research, Me109K/Fw190D/Ta152H/Do335A/Me262A/Ju88G/Me110-4U, 1.06x5 please?

In every "land" campaign I've played, the Axis units have always "dug-in" just outside of the fortified area. In Italy, it is to the south, in Normandy it is north, in Germany it is just west.<br/>
