Why is this exploitative? The Germans during the Battle of Britain almost won air superiority by concentrating on British airfields. You could launch dawn, midday and dusk attacks say 5 or 6 days a week during the summer accounting for some ...

Oskkar, you are in danger of becoming the Russian Pelton. Uranus was launched against a German (allied) line that was so attenuated that it had to fail. What were the 3rd Romanian Army frontages? IIRC each Romanian battalion had like 15km of ...

For those pointing to a successful Stalingrad offensive as "proof" of Russian offensive capability to refute Pelton's claims, I would ask/remind said players as to who exactly the Russian offensive hit, because it didn't include very many ...

....URANUS...that useless offensive operation....

<r> Klydon, the paper by Overy cited by Pelton himself as evidence that Soviet Armament industry was captured, and that leaving behind Heavy Industry is a gamey Soviet exploit, says the following:<br/>
<br/>
a ) "The Soviet system was all but shattered in 1941, two-thirds of its <B><s>[b]</s>heavy ...

Klydon, you have understood nothing of my post

What I criticize is not the content of the claim, but the hollow evidence provided in support. It has nothing to do with forts, blizzard, game balance, etc

..That is the fact. About the fate of Heavy Industry, I do not really know, BUT THE LINK HE HIMSELF PROVIDED SHOWS THAT MOST OF IT WAS LOST. Pelton very dishonestly hides this fact in his neverending ...

<t> Compared with the initial release of the game<br/>

a) the armament soviet multiplier has been reduced<br/>
b) the evacuation rail costs have been doubled<br/>

both of these modifications help the German cause, but they are seen by Pelton as a Soviet conspiration concocted by the ...
