1.04.12 bug re: corps build vanishing

Playing H2H with the 1.04.12 version, 1941 Campaign as Soviet. It's turn 85, Jan 31, 1943 and the allowable build for both Tank and Mech corps has disappeared. Got the message about 100 more APs for artillery divisions and no 100 AP either.

2-player game. I'll try to remember to post when I see my opponent's turn. In the meanwhile, here's a relevant thread.

Oil, Caucasus, and gameplay

Playing a 2-player 1941 Campaign game against a good German player. It's mid-April 1945 and the German lines are almost impregnable except in the far south in Austria. The Red Army forced the surrender of Finland about 6-9 months early and Romania about 2-3 months early. The Soviets even bombed ...

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!

My point is that some 10 years ago, kamikazes would inflict damage very close to historical. Something has happened in the patches since then has nerfed them.

Also, regarding the other carrier aircraft not on CAP - they were 300 miles away escorting their own bombing mission, thus, unavailable for ...

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!

You're missing the point. The whole reason why early kamikaze missions were successful has to do with time and space. Aircraft closing in on ships on a one-way mission could only be shot down by opposing fighters one at a time. With defensive armament, some may take a few passes to down. An aircraft ...

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!

Grok believes Patch 1.01.24 or Patch 1.01.08 might be the culprits in nerfing kamikazes. Perhaps we're seeing a nerf that represents late-war Allied tactics that largely neutralized kamikaze effectiveness. Regardless, it's frustrating as all get out to labor carefully over months of real time to ...

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!

Hakko Ichio.

It's not just me, my opponent says that the shift was from kamikaze attacking in a large wave vs. now with piecemeal. Few of the aircraft get through. We've had about 25 kamikaze missions so far from May 1944 to August 1944, losing about 400 aircraft (with this scenario, the Japanese ...

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!

No, the latest patch in a PvP game.

It used to be that Kamikazes came in one large wave and a few got through, closely simulating the fact that from the 10 months from October 1944 to VJ Day in 1945 (per Wiki):

"According to the United States Strategic Bombing Survey, from October 1944 until the ...

Re: New Public Beta - v1128 Live Now!

Which patch rendered kamikazes completely ineffective compared to historical norms? I'm seeing large groups of kamikazes achieving about a 4% hit rate, if that, with fighter CAP routinely clearing all of them out before reaching the target - and the few that make it through unlikely to hit anything.

Re: Correcting 1941 game balance

And, regarding the observation, now made twice, about the importance of the first turn in the game for the Germans - that's my point. A game dependent on having an ahistorical first turn to even attempt to reach a historical 1941 campaign has a serious flaw - insofar as a game that is modeling ...
