Just finished my 5th campaign, the Soviet "Red Hammer." This was almost a walk in the park, as T-80s are so dominant on the battlefield.

Well, in the first scenario of the Canadian campaign you are told to repulse ("Hold Them Here") three Soviet mech inf Bns and two tank Bns (of T-80s) with a light infantry bn, supported by one coy of ATMs and one coy of Leopard C1s. It's mostly an open field, over 10kms wide. Victory locations are ...

If you want to experience the power of T-80s, try the Canadian campaign or scenarios, where you have insufficient number of ATMs and Leopard C1s, the latter being lightweight in comparison. Frankly, some poor scenario design right there.

E: Have to add that it is an excellent game otherwise!

Survivability of T-80s seem to be a bit over the top.

It definitely didn't. No clue why they messed it up.

Hi I was just wondering if this mod is complete bc wite2 has some problems with the soviets being way too well supplied and their airforce being way too effective in 1941 and no reason to hold Ukraine bc of no industry and I just want a game about the eastern front that gets these big picture ...

Well, I did the '43 scenario published with WitE, along with playtesting the game, so in general I know what I'm talking about. [;)]

<t> Everytime I encounter a strong garrison in the Baltic Sates, it feels wrong, and from historical POV it is wrong.<br/>
<br/>
The fact is that the early turns are made tougher because the AI can't handle bigger gaps that might appear. It can be sugarcoated with philosophical discussions, but ...

A vote for Kharkov Feb '43 from me.

I highly recommend Warsaw to Paris. It plays historically but is challenging. No added Russians for "play balance"

I'm a newbie myself at these sort of games, DCB is supposed to be one of the easiest to play, and I bought it a couple of months ago, I didn't even touch it without watching all the video tutorials and reading the logistics part from the ...

<t> Ok, after playing with the easy mode (no self-respecting grognard will do it gladly[;)]) for 7 turns I see that the fronts are more fluid, something that one would expect. Shame if the AI can't handle bigger gaps later. Anyhow, forget my earlier ramblings, here's a reasonable suggestion: A "semi ...

<t> If the AI is only competitive with the current approach, then there are some serious design issues. Just as an example, I could imagine that the Axis side could do with much lower bonus values (if needed at all) if the initial state of the bordering Soviet forces were modelled properly (going ...

Could it be possible to implement, as a game option, Soviet AI that has historical deployment (with no variation), and which would act more historically, ie. not conducting a general pre-planned withdrawal everywhere?

nevermind, was too harsh.

Just purchased the game and installed this mod right away. Cheers!

Hi,

It seems to me that no consideration for fire control is taken into consideration. If a tank has no radios, cramped turret and poor optics, it should be reflected in the attack values (at least).

How does it deal with the most important aspect of industrialized warfare: supply and logistics?
