Testing:
1.04.00 GC '41 Ger player vs Soviet AI

Focus:
Repair rate of trucks adjustment option

Finding:
Turn 3 - Vehicles in repair pool with axis 41-42 repair rate of 10:
~9000+

Re-run Turn 3 - Vehicles in repair pool with axis 41-42 repair rate of 50:
~5000

Conclusion:
Truck repair rate ...

Why is the total defensive CV value of the aggregate fortified zone less than that of one of its attached units?


Because the so-called "aggregate" CV is shown only on map, if you go to the unit's card, you will get the stats (including CV and men count) for that unit only.


Hi FortTell ...

I'm re-kindling this original topic because something I'm still not getting.

Ive got a fortified zone here with a large defensive CV value of 102 displayed.

One of the attached units is the 127th pioneer brigade there.
If I ...

This wouldn't work against a human player. Probably effective vs AI..


Against AI, I was able to breakthrough in 1943 and go on to win as Axis.
Which I think seems to be a bit unique - seems I usually hear about an early axis win or slow grinding defeat in '43 and beyond. (I bet it'd be even ...

I wonder if there could be a "combat value" soft factor.

Because I like the idea of having the counter show the unit ID (by pressing hotkey 'y'), eg. showing 6 PzD for 6th Panzer Division, and then also at a glance being able to see the unit's approximate combat value.

Like bright green would be ...

Remember that CV is not about the fight itself, it's about IF the fight happens at all and how it ends. Historically and in the present attacking/capturing a housing area is the worst thing a Army can try to do without/before encircling the area, I guess that's what's supposed to be represented ...

Compare it to this other example:
The fortified zone with three construction battalions has a CV of 57.
The entire 18th motorized division that is in the same city (with TOE of 85, and CPP of 60-something) has only a CV of 14.


Because fort units cannot attack, they technically have no ...

Many things are "rolled" so randomness is involved determining several factors (as you pointed to mentioning the Initiative).

Check Chapter 22.1 (1., 2. , 3. ).



Agree with Wiedrock. Review the section on movement point determination, section 22.1

If your leader(s) fails an initiative check ...

Phenomenal! Thank you so much. That should be added to the manual!

Thank you for contributing! Much appreciated.

I get the CV inflation in city/urban settings - my point though is that these are hugely inflated defensive CV numbers, from just a few construction battalions.

Compare it to this other example:
The fortified zone with three construction battalions has ...

I am finding huge defense values of Position Construction Battalions attached to some Fortified Zones.
(Only 27 rifle squads, 27 labor squads (hiwis), and 57 support (hiwi)

For a shown CV of 63

here we can see that 11079 Soviets were lost during retreat. I think that it is people from division and AT brigade.
here is a big thread with more examples

But Joel told that such ...

The 12k losses are caused by AA or construction units that surrendered when you took the city.


Thanks Juju for your input.
Directly attached units to the location was my first suspect as well. To look into it in more detail, I looked at the ground losses, and the bulk of their losses were rifle ...

Thanks Joel.

Yes the Soviet 4th Anti-tank Brigade was also stacked in the hex, so it could explain the tank losses.

And your explanation makes theoretical sense to me. An attack that fails to reach the 2:1 retreat threshold can still cause a unit to rout if their losses are too heavy.

The curious ...

Here is a direct embedded screenshot too.

I haven't seen this kind of CV ratio paired with the routed result before.

Hi I love WitE2, thanks to all for developing/making this game. Loved WitE and WitW too.

I am playing grand campaign as Axis, and just did a hasty attack on Tula with Model's Motorized Corp of 3 Pz Group/Army Group Center on turn 13 with game version 1.02.20_Beta, and it momentarily showed "forces ...

Sounds like a very interesting idea, Crushing. I hope to see something like that come to fruition.
