As air technology advances, air squadrons can be used for strategic bombing as well. Germany has an edge here, as she can utilize zeppelins to perform the task. The Entente cannot intercept them until they discover "High Altitude" technology.

I noticed that it is also helpful to send the units to depots with vehicle build-up to boost their own vehicles. But I never tried supply priority 4 so thanks for the suggestion.

I do not post much about diplomacy anymore since, apart from the USA, only minor powers that are not really game-changers are left. Still, both sides are performing diplomatic missions.

Thank you for the comparison, it is useful and supports my thinking.




...but Germans in your case also had no fighters up, so punishment deserved. :twisted: :D



Well that's another issue, for some reason fighters never really attempt to protect their airfields. Air superiority in enemy phase ...

Not being able to run the tracker on my Linux is one of the reasons I postpone beginning to play this game as people keep telling it is a must. I think Python has much better chance of working, so I am looking forward for the new version. Good luck and thanks in advance!

I would not trust answers from AI unless it has an upload of the manual, which currently it cannot read because it is too large. Open the manual and give it the pages covering the air war and then ask for the answer. It is good with WitE2 reading CSV from Commanders Report though. Too bad the CR ...

I opened a thread back then arguing that airfield bombing is OP.* Now I want to ask in terms of air support personnel losses, because again it feels OP. I say feel, because I really do not know how it was in real life, but in my game it is as serious as ground combat itself. Here check this ...

The war is taking its toll on all nations.

Germany attempted to increase the intensity of submarine warfare, but it failed. Now that the US is already pro-Entente, I do not care if they get angry or not, as long as the British are hurt even more.

In the West, the Germans managed to cross the Somme River, reaching as far as Rouen. Despite indicating a victory in the city, my only surviving wounded cavalry corps was just forced back to the rear lines. A retreating Entente unit perhaps dislodged it as it was too weak, but I do not know.

In the East, the Austro-Hungarians will try to liberate more territory in Galicia, while the Germans swing north.

The Germans again managed to capture Lille and finally destroyed the Entente forces pocketed in the area. It was a hard-fought battle, and the French people show no signs of submission.

The Russians performed their biggest attack in a while in the Caucasus. They used combat gas successfully: the fact that it was the first time it had ever been used, combined with a leader who has a "gas bonus" trait, resulted in all my units being wounded. Note that the international community is ...

That's good news! I will definitely try it once I find the time, but thanks in advance for the effort you put into it. I've got a question, though. Is the PO capable of gathering strength with an operational pause and then conducting grand offensives—such as the Vistula-Oder offensive—in which the ...

Turkey got lucky this time, but apparently unrest is growing.

I drew an important event card: Lenin. It is not possible to use it at the moment, as Russia is doing well and no revolutionary fervor has yet taken hold, but it might come in handy in the future. That ...

Russia is never a pushover for the first two years. In the Balkans, Danube is a formidable obstacle and must be treated with respect.

That's true, but admittedly I am doing considerably worse than the historical timeline. Below is the frontline just before the Brusilov Offensive, around the same ...

As the Entente had the initiative, the Russians stopped some of my attacks with preemptive strikes against my forces. Still, the initial results are promising, though the Germans suffered considerable losses. The Austrian attacks were relatively easier, hence there is no need to report on them ...

The skies are heating up. Two air duels occurred without clear victors, yet the Entente gained 3 aces! (I missed the name of the second Russian ace.)

The time has come to begin the Austrian grand offensive against the Russians. I will attempt to acquire the 'tactical air support' doctrine, as the air force is taking shape.

The Germans will also provide support.

At the end of May, there was an interphase where submarine warfare and blockade effects were calculated. The Central Powers are taking a hit, but compared to what the UK is suffering, we are doing fine.

Enjoying this and getting back to WW1G. Unfortunately, I am in FL for 3 months with a Windows 11 computer. WW1G will not install on it. The other problem is that my home computer is on its last legs and a new one means Windows 11.
