How about a simple fix that trains are not allowed into a city until it has been captured, coupled with a strategic bombing feature which disallows movement through a friendly city when it has been neutralized.[:)]<br/>

You guys are ...

I would divide the Sturmgeshutz assault guns into two classes according to their primary roles:

StuG III A/B (range 1) + StuH F/G (range 2) Artillery

StuG III F/F8/G + StuG IV = Antitank (no ranged attack)

<t> Agree, the SU-76 might be a very good example of a multi-purpose unit. Although its indirect fire capability wasn't particularly effective (small explosive charge), its was a excellent infantry support vehicle. So game wise, it could be designated as either (or both) AT & ART with a limited ...

I've notice the Russian SU 76's are also artillery. That doesn't seem right either. I thought they were the Russian tank destroyers.

StuG IV is a multipurpose unit which can be switched between arty and AT role. I guess the decision to place it in arty class was made because of upgrade path reasons.<br/>

Just a minor observation while playing the Gustav Line scenario - the StuG IV is mistakenly displayed (icon) and listed (purchase screen) as an artillery unit instead of an AT. (it was a StuG III superstructure on a Pz IV chassis - cheaper substitue for the JgPz IV).

Thanks BriteLite, that was quite a compliment. And thanks to each of you for the welcome. This forum and it's members contributions are another way PC is such a improvement to the PG series. And finally, one last thank you to Rudankort! PC is really very nicely done. A near seamless ...

<r> Thanks for giving this issue the attention this fine game deserves, you have done a remarkable job correcting so many issues the original game had. I also apprieciate the time and dedication you have show to the forum and continued support for the game.<br/>

<t> Can the combat results be more consistant to ensure the predicted combat results are realized "unit wide" (instead of just per individual strenght point)?<br/>
<br/>
While a certain amount of randomness is required/necessary, sometimes over-whelming odds that should always result in "victory ...

<t> A problem with raising initiative is that it effects all combat. Ideally one would have "separate initiative values" against each target class. That way AT units could have a very high initiative vs. armored units, but not against infantry units. It might even work for AD units too... very high ...

I've tweaked the initial "Poland" campaign a little, adding an AT, AA, Strategic Bomber and Recon to the default core battlegroup already placed on the map. So at least you start out with one of each and are somewhat forced to use them ...

[Well, I think that getting a PanzerJager (6 initiative and 10 HA is quite good when it appears) is not such a bad idea. As for AA, 88mm FlaK appears quite early and many players seem to be using it with good effect. Also, I agree ...

When the work on Panzer Corps only started, we had a lot of discussions how to make certain unit classes more useful, and some steps in this direction were made. For example, merging AA and AD classes was made to make AA units more useful ...

<t> Since most PC scenarios are primarily "offensive" in nature, the defensive units AT/AD (especially the towed units) tend to be less useful. Units that have no offensive capabilities simply aren't presented as many useful situations... not only are they generally not needed in most (early ...

<t> Possibly the game designer considered a number of other factors before determining the attack factors. Such as ammunition types and dates of availability. Just as a note, not all JagdTigers (and there were less than 80 built) carried the same main weapon. Initially some had the PaK 44 L/55 ...

3) When select unit in list would like map to jump & center on that unit.<br/>

I believe what he meant was that if selected unit isn't already in the center of your viewing area. If a unit is already visible "somewhere" on your computer screen ie; near a corner ...

Possibly like a "<alt> click" during the deployment phase which would automatically upgrade all under-strength units with Elite (or Green) replacement points instead of scrolling and selectively replenishing each unit individually.

Just got my boxed edition in the mail today, and was pleasantly surprised to see my name printed directly on the CD. Certainly makes it special, thanks.

<t> I agree in general, that the tank units in PC appear a little "weak", but I believe they are statistically correct and the real problem is manueverablility. The scale of the map, in conjunction with the large number of close defense terrain types, limits the value of the tanks in the game. The ...
