Re: Altitude and Air-to-Air

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?
I don't know if flying at max altitude would have any disadvantages, raise fatigue ...

Re: Quick Questions Thread


Cannot find some good guide to explain how freight works.

1.- Every depot picks "required supply" from the most nearby supply source with a "lower priority?

The question is... How can i pick the supply from i.e "Kazan" towards East Moscow, instead picking it from moscow? Is there some way? For ...

Re: Altitude and Air-to-Air

I thought reserve in WITE2 was purely on supplies in a base.
Shift aircraft to a base with insufficient supply and many will be in reserve.

The fact the op is claiming that escort fighters have a better combat record is alarming.
Are the escort fighters using all their fuel?
Are all the base ...

Re: Data of Renamed Unit in CSV



Out of interest, would there be any value in having the unit ID in the file? - a unique Id rather than everything on name, that way my little program could keep details over multiple turns by ID rather than have to figure out via a separate file.

Also- If you create a corps from a soviet div (1 ...

Re: EXP loss by exchanging elements

The Panzerfausts are in a number of units - 15 grc have 525 normal, 471 with the panzerfausts.
presumably captured equipment. I have 3400 with pf in the pool and 5200 normal rifle 43.

Seems a high % to me, wiki says they were only incidentally used by the russians in 1944, but...

Re: EXP loss by exchanging elements

Interestingly, rifle squad 43 seems to have 2 different versions
one with 10 men and a panzerfaust, one with 11 without.
rifle + is 9 men.

Re: EXP loss by exchanging elements

On the Ground Element map, you can see that under Rifle squad it has Rifle squad 41,42,43 etc.

Take a look at the production screen and what you have in the pool.
It should create the latest items, and convert available outdated to newer items.
In my current game I have
1409 * rifle squad 42 ...

not a direct fix, but Nvidia allows you to fill the screen, so my pc is set to 1920*... but it is expanded by my video card to 3840*...
Means you don't have problems with font scaling, but can still use your monitor.

Re: Do you ever feel your FBD automatons are f-ing with your head?

I think.
1. there is a rule they won't work next to the manually controlled FBD.
2. To me they seem to pick a route then follow it. - annoying when the route leads to a dead end with no value.
3. How they choose.
Experiment with attaching to a lower level HQ. remember the max ranges, but with any ...

Germans on retreat abandoning fortifications.

Playing Russia I am finding that the Germans are making unforced errors by leaving important and fortified towns empty at the end of their turn.
Even important production centres / towns with L3 fortifications can suddenly be empty. Even putting a few low value units in them would hinder the soviet ...

And if I dont have any Superioity Directives at all, what else will bring my fighters up to the slaughter?


If I understand correctly, the problem is that your fighters auto-intercept too much during the air phase?
The solution to that would be to reduce the "Mission AC Pct" for AS.

Re: Depot sending out freight during enemy turn?

I know, but on the higher levels they demand more supply from further and further away.
so your chance of having any spare reduce.

Re: Depot sending out freight during enemy turn?

are your units in combat in the enemy turn, do they get an ammo resupply after a combat?
Have you tried turning down the priority of your units.
I found it difficult to keep depots topped up in a previous game, but if you set your unit priority down, I think they are less insistant, don't burn ...

It seems to me the following:

If there is combat in your hex, then any planes nearby will come out to play.

If you turn off air support, and put all planes at rest that might stop interceptions in the area.

But If any air forces have units doing an air mission in the area, then they are likely to ...
