Thanks for the work put into this as a lot of moving parts. I just downloaded a few days ago and ran it on the latest version of game. Only differences as has been mentioned already is that (Romanian) Husi airbase is no longer there so I changed to use some nearby bases. Also I could not move all th...

I am sure this has been asked before but could not find it. I manually set the support for soviet armies (to 0 than lock after support added manually). Near the start of the game you will get new armies(set to 3 support) appearing that suck up a lot of the support that was pooling up at stavka. Is t...

I also agree that the UI could be improved but it is playable in it current state.
I think the UI limitations are maybe amplified by the sheer number of units etc that the game is attempting to model.( I myself like that level of detail)

<t> At the start I clear all the support out of the lower hqs and push it all up to stavka.<br/> It needs at least a couple of turns to flush everything out.<br/> Once it is in stavka you might want to send some of the lower morale/exp units to the reserves.<br/> I then start giving the support unit...

<t> So related question with air upgrades - for soviets I will have a high morale older model plane in the reserves such as I-153. It may only have 10 planes ready out of max 67 say. <br/> When i tell it to manually upgrade to say yak-1 and it shows > 67 yaks in the pool, i guess i was expecting it ...

<t> I am running 08 patch and noticed the following against the axis AI.<br/> The AI will run multiple attacks with insufficient forces which end up with a scouted result (can be 2-4 times) before the final rout or retreat.<br/> For each attack soviets will lose a few men directly in the divisions b...

in addition to the -1 - in the screen shot top left it also indicates that there are no factory locations producing it ?

<t> In the first few turns when i play soviets I try to move all the non isolated army hqs into depots with supply priority 4 for at least a turn to get their TOE's up.<br/> Then for any new armies appearing on the map in the early turns you have to put them in a depot also for at least a turn for s...

<t> I didn't realize this was the case especially from the defender point of view.<br/> I kind of agree with shaggy - if i am in a defensive posture wouldn't i have my artillery already set up and prepared to repel an attack.<br/> If the attacker decides to do a hasty then they would not have time t...

<t> If you set a lower command to support level > 0 - the command levels between it and the high command cannot be locked - they need to be set to zero for the support to pass through to the lower level.<br/> I know with the soviets that some new armies appear that have support set to 3 and they end...

I lock them but only after a couple of turns with all of the lower HQs set to 0 and top HQ set to 9 which flushes them all out of the lower HQ's.
As far as i know there is not a way to bulk assign/reassign them from the commanders report which would be useful.

<t> Don't know the answer to your last question but I do know there are a bunch of issues filling out the tank division TOE's at the start of the game including some of the so called reinforcement divisions you get which start on the map with only 30% toe or so.<br/> I think it was mentioned in an A...

HUGE Soviet armadas of planes flying in just a sector

Based on my soviet experiences at the start of the game, you would only be able to do this in one sector so the Luftwaffe would have free rein elsewhere (so there is a tradeoff).

My initial thought from seeing this was finally the soviets have one piece of equipment that is not complete crap - that you don't have to rely on quantity to make up for the quality.
But I know there are other air issues going on as mentioned.

So from your experiment - did it make a difference whether the unit was on the train or not ?

so if you have divisions eligible for guards but the cap is reached, they will switch to guards once the cap is relaxed ?

I had seen some planes in reserve on auto and wondered at the time how they got that way. I think another related problem is you have to wait a turn before you can switch them back to manual.

<t> I was just wondering what the new projection was used for the map.<br/> <br/> There is always trade off between spots at different latitudes and it seems to not have too many obvious distortions.<br/> <br/> I also noticed that Pripyat marshes had some lanes though it versus one large swamp like ...

i did not understand fully before how to rebase the planes so had reassigned some of them but the air groups themselves did not move.

I am new to wite2 but played wite1 quite a bit (mostly single player), prefer to play soviet. let me know.
