Yes, the ROUT most likely is triggered in such a way. But the TOE shouldn't go that low and it wouldn't if the SCOUT wouldn't perform as if it was a deliberate attack. If the manual is right on what it writes about SCOUTs the intensity is likely bugged.
Or the manual is wrong since WitW.

Looks pretty much the same as in WitE2.
However, the effect still feels surprisingly modest given the altitude. At 5,000 feet, with 2 flak regiments and 2 railway flak battalions present, I would have expected substantially more than a repair/readiness tax. Instead, there was:

no increase in ...

Here other examples of PvP games where SCOUT intensity causes ROUTS. The results are obv. only showing the ROUT but the finalCV show that it have all been SCOUTs.
For the two German examples (there are way more) you see the transfer from SCOUT to ROUT in the footage.

I'm in the process of making a mod that fuses the Balkans with the Eastern front. However, one of the things I noticed is that the Mediterranean Sea (and its sections like the Adriatic, Aegean etc), seem to be off limits. Amphibious forces can't seem to be able to cross it and I'm not sure if ...

The issue is that you lose the sttings when playing PBEM (for whatever reason).

anyone?

REFIT.

The Rifle Squad (+) being flushed into a TOE it does not belong into seems to be caused by the unit being in REFIT.

Afaik they still work for superdepots without Battalions.

Been looking at air stuff recently.

There always have been the cases where Germans had several AA SUs attached but the VVS somehow managed to hit many targets, I based this on RNG but this may not be the case.

I found it (still) being the case that Flak may not do anything most of the time ...

The manual (maybe living one? or just a post on here) said iirc that altitude was key, so I did wonder at whether setting the patrol altitude to max altitude (for that plane group) would help. Could you set it higher?

PATROLis automatic, don't think we can change it. I always get the 15k ones ...

The TOEs are "all non-inf" motorized. So all elements are motorized, as well as the Trucks needed for carrying stuff like Ammo.

Are the escort fighters using all their fuel?

From what I have tested, every plane (I'd guess on every mission - not tested all) that starts for a mission is fully loading up on 100% fuel and 100% ammo (which varies by Loadouts). And from what I could observe it all was used (nothing ever came ...

Keeping guessing about the meaning of damage without actual damage the possibility could be that this "damage" by flak reduces the effectiveness of the bombing - so is more of a "DISruption" to the planes. This is hard to test due to the massive RNG but it seems to not be that case to me.
Those are ...

Another test using a fresher save file (the other got reloaded many times so the log is a bit messy at times).
We see many planes getting damaged by flak, but none end up as damaged.

I always found damaged planes to be close to not existing.

So, not sure how to look at this.

Remove the fact that due to Retreat losses (RTR) you lose pre-combat DAMaged AFVs in lost attacks .
I don't see any reason for this to happen.
The Ground Combat tab shows the "joined tanks" (e.g. the 68 T-26) while the Ground Losses tab shows all (e.g. the 83 T-26).
So the losses screen includes all ...

No save yet.
Not sure if I want it to be fixed since this is the first time I see positive effects in Air stuff after activating my brain.

Putting the game mechanics aside and thinking in 'real world' terms. If you aren't flying your own fighters then there is nothing keeping the enemy escorts from leaving their bombers and going after yours. So essentially their mission can change from escort (which is unnecessary) to CAP - which ...

In 1941 as the Soviet factories start to evacuate, what is the right course of action? Prioritize repairs for the unit categories you want to repair faster and increase production of sooner? Should you attach construction SUs manually to the new location (city), or will the AI take care of this ...
