Fairly straightforward suggestion:

Support squads are currently a strict negative for any combat or support unit TOE; the fewer, the better in all cases. The impacts are relative to the required support squads, which, again, means a TOE with fewer support squads is always better than one with more ...

Out of curiosity, is there a way to access the .dat files? I'd like to use the factories file to map out production for the two sides so I can use it for planning purposes.

If not, did anyone do this kind of exercise in the past mapping out say fighter, tank, artilery, etc production for either ...

This save looks good to me, if HLYA is still up for it. Thanks!

Very exciting! Can you guys do an AAR on this, either here or on a discord? I would love to see the Soviet mindset and approach to tackling this strategy.

You can't get around the grinding, it is going to happen and the Soviets are going to take losses. The goal therefore is wearing out the Germans while trying to preserve your forces. Not an easy task at all, damn near impossible in current state if adhering to certain ingrained doctrines. The ...

I don't know how you can make a judgment based on the lack of AARs showing something like this.


I'm basing it on the fact that, in both this forum and Discord, I haven't seen anyone successfully defeat a skilled Axis player for maybe 8 months. Even when the Soviet player was highly skilled and ...

That's because before the attack leading to a rout, there is first an attack designed to create a lot of damaged elements. In the followup attack that causes the rout, those damaged elements explode.

Damaged elements do not fire in combat by the way, they only soak up damage (literal ...

If you find yourself faced with WW1-style offenses, it only makes sense to respond with the state-of-the-art defensive strategies that were employed back then. By 1916 the Germans had put into place a three-tiered defensive approach which was particularly helpful in areas with open terrain.

The ...

I'd be inclined to agree that this has gotten a bit out of hand. Looking at AARs, I've not seen any Soviet player successfully counter this strategy and win against an experienced Axis player.

I can appreciate that it takes a lot of skill to execute well and the Soviets will be able to build ...

I'm with Beethoven on this. The VVS got hammered with one of the heaviest nerfs so far, effectively losing the ability to carry out defensive GS or small-medium sized GA sorties.

The only reason why large high altitude sorties (which have always been an option) are being used is because everything ...

I'm looking for an axis player for a 1941 campaign, I am moderately experienced at playing the Soviets, 5 multiplayer campaigns, maybe 3-4 more vs the AI. We can discuss about house rules, looking to play 1 turn every 1-2 days

Check the experience of your fighters, how close they are to the frontline, the actual planes they are using and the overall number of planes present.

To get anything close to a decent kill ratio you need well-trained pilots, 60 exp or better, as close as possible to the frontline, especially ...

So the National Air Morale for the Soviets through the summer of 1942 is absolute garbage and you won't really be able to train many air units above 48-49 exp in your reserve by Late Summer/ Early Autumn.

With that in mind, is there any point in using the air force during 1942 after you've lost ...

I realise this is quite niche but I was wondering how viable is it to cut of a certain group of forces from supplies using bombers. I'm mostly thinking of situations where a lot of forces, think an entire German Army or Soviet front are being supplied by just 1-2 rails. The sort of situations that ...

When I play on my laptop, the commander's report has the option to filter units by theatre box which is very useful when managing units in the Soviet Reserve. I don't have this tab on my desktop. Does anyone know what is causing this?

<t> well realistically when you split a panzer division into regiments, you're really splitting it into 3 kampfgruppe each of which can be further augmented with attached units. It's not like you're getting 3 tank regiments, you're getting 3 battlegroups of regiment size with artillery, tanks ...

<t> So many of the issues would be fixed if you could select multiple units. Let me select 30 infantry divisions from my reserve and set them all to refit off, let me then select 10 of them to send to Finland and select the other 20 to send to the map.<br/>
<br/>
Let me select 12 support units to ...

<r> I played 1 campaign in WITE and 1 in WTIW and maybe a year of a campaign in WITE2. Rules I'd play with are FoW, Movement FoW and no AI air assist. I will want to lock my HQ sup but you can play it however you want <E>:)</E>) <br/>
<br/>
I can play about 1-2 hours a day with exceptions, will be ...
