The (mostly) bad performance of the Italians in WWII stemmed from a variety of factors, I believe Military History Visualized made some nice points on this topic years ago: <br/>

<t> Thanks Loki for providing the numbers I wanted. Could you maybe add the mystical civilian consumption levels? I think these could be interesting, although probably useless.<br/>
<br/>
And while I agree that this game is all about supplying the land units right now and not about production, it ...

<t> Loki, much more interesting than the fuel pool graph would be the actual fuel consumption by factories and units after the sharp bend in your graph. Of course, the currently produced fuel is still available, but fuel consumption should drop by the weekly amount previously taken from the pool ...

That's because the code resolves what happens to the aircraft when it returns to land. Some of the aircraft damaged by flak would be lost enroute home, some would crash on the runway ...

<t> Playing around with the editor, I think I found a more serious problem. Giving the Squad more StGs, or more ammunition, all that didn't solve the problem. <br/>
<br/>
And then it hit me, the reason why the Pioneer44 squads perform similarly with only 2 StG44s is that the quantity modifier ...

Can't comment on the effectiveness of sturm squads, but I've noticed a display error wherein hits-per-elements less than 0.1 will drop their leading zero after the decimal, so a 0.05 will display as 0.5. You can see this quite obviously ...

<r> Here is the Savegame. I think this scenario will be hard enough for the Germans without their Sturm Squads not being able to hit a barn door <E>;)</E><br/>
<br/>
Edit: OK, I sifted through some of the other opening battles in this scenario and it doesn't seem to be a problem with the StG 44 ...

<r> So I started the Vistula to Berlin Campaign an noticed some odd behaviour of Sturm Squads. As you can see in the screenshot, something seems to be wrong with their performance AND the displayed numbers. Clearly, 0.7 HPE * 80 Elements should be 56 and not 6 hits (which is an abysmal performance ...

Studies showed most ground battle casualties were due to arty, most of that being mortars.

There is no doubt that mortars were very effective weapons in WWII, but there is a world of difference between the 5 ...

<r> In most battle reports I have seen, 50mm mortars are way more successful than machine guns (often by an order of magnitude). In fact, they are often one of the main damage dealers. If you want to see proof of this, just examine some random battle results in the Grand Campaign.<br/>

But ...

Thank you for your quick response Joel, and thank you MechFO for providing the saves!
It's great to see that issues are being addressed so quickly in detail, now I know why it's such a fantastic game.

<t> Hello, I am new to the game, but I noticed something strange in my games, that I thought might be a bug. <br/>
<br/>
The sk 18 field gun consistently moved much closer up to the enemy during battles than the field howitzers in the same artillery units. I am not sure this is intended behaviour ...
