the second half of your question cant be answered by anyone but yourself.

if you want to play with mods or not you have to decide for yourself, because its personal preference in the end

get them to around 50. after that dont put them into the hottest areas right off the bat but somewhere where they got the possibility to grind some exp with missions. at 70+ i would consider them "frontline-ready"

<r> either manually (explained in the game folders readme file)<br/>
<br/>
or<br/>

The price per hour played - best ROI ever. Paid 80 bucks or so when released, got years of enjoyment. <br/>

The games my kids purchase nowadays for their consoles aren't much cheaper, but they are through with them in a week ...

for air unit upgrades u generally need a lv 7 airfield +20k supply at the base. if a air HQ is at the base the required airbaselevel of 7 gets reduced by the range of the hq.

i personally only use discord as a voicechat. i dislike the feeling of having to search through multiple sources/forums for game-knowledge. (especially when there is an official forum from the developer)

refuel-options also need to be considered, which take the biggest chunk out of Ops points

<t> im useing the same settings, but at some point i always have to switch to the nomap version. there is just too much data afte x amount of turns to be handled. you can delete the datafiles to make the mapversion work later but u´ll have to deal with the loss off data history (for example u delete ...

This (sort TFs by endurance needed) gets me most of the way there. Have to wade through some ASW/minesweeping and SCTF set to react but doable.<br/>
<br/>
The TFs it misses are those set ...

i just open the "show all taskforces" tab and sort by "endure needed". the ones with 0 are all tfs sitting in a port

same goes for the topo map project btw

page 189 in the manual (8.3.1) has the terrainmodifiers

this gorn will never learn how to edit a post [:D]

a base with 20k supply will do in that case

it is especially useful vs "chinese doomstacks"

fullscreen on win10 machines seems to be a problem for most users here, if you use a 1920x1080 screen and want the maximum screensize in windowed mode use -pxf1920 -pyf1018

the -dd_sw switch is the other one with recognizeable performance impact

<r> i tried the good old turn it off and back on but that didnt fix it. going back 1 turn doesnt work either(i am at turn #1)<br/>
<br/>
these are my switches: -w -cpu2 -multiaudio -pxf1920 -pyf1018 -archive -skipVideo -deepcolor -dd_sw (i have an intel cpu)<br/>
