The AI is a very bad player, so if you want to have a fun game, play PBEM. Although, you should first beat the AI a couple of times to learn the game.

Thanks for the helpful reply!

<t> I'm playing the USSR in a 1941 campaign.<br/>
Currently I have all except one of my fighter factories making Yak-1s, one is making Mig-3s. This is because I-15s auto-upgrade to Mig-3s and if I would manually upgrade them to Yak-1s I would lose a lot of experience(auto-upgrading doesn't seem to ...

<t> According to my experience in flight simulators, there's one positive thing about the .50 cal. over cannons that was not mentioned: recoil. When shooting at fast moving targets it's often hard to hit with the first projectiles, thus you spray a bit more and "walk your fire" into the enemy plane ...

<t> I have read countless threads about how air combat is unrealistic and gives "wrong" results in games. Namely WitP and HOI2. So I decided to make a small air combat program myself, one that would give "correct" results in air engagements. But it's very hard to get statistics about WW2 air combat ...

<t> Here are the main points of the Mikrobitti review in English:<br/>
<br/>
+ Fast to play<br/>
+ Although simple, has much depth<br/>
+ Logistics<br/>
+ Have to decide between troops, research, supply etc.<br/>
+ Rather challenging AI<br/>

- Forced historicity, unlike in Paradox ...

There you find the free online book, actually a biography of Erhard Milch, a man who created the Luftwaffe and was one of the most important men in Germany's war effort, although few know about him ...

<t> I know they didn't have/use them historically. But the player gets to chose what to research in this game.... it's my opinion that the Germans would have been capable of developing heavy bombers if they set their minds to it.<br/>
<br/>
Standard: No point ever building heavy bombers as Germany ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>- Germany has been given true heavy bombers with armor
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
If this mod wants to be historical, then that is wrong. Germany didn't have any four engined bombers until late 1942, and that model had serious faults and was pulled back from the front quickly ...

<t> Ok, I don't own WaW so my comments are just based on history.<br/>
<br/>
Tank corpses were composed of motorized and tank divisions. In WW2 tanks were rather weak, just imagine russians lining up 10 76mm AT-guns against 4 panzer IV's. The AT-guns would kill the tanks, and 10 AT-guns cost much ...

<r> I have WiR 3.3 and I'd like to play PBEM against someone. I don't think I'm a very good player, I have won the AI twice in 41 campaign as germans, so I know the UI, but not much else. You choose what scenario and what side, easier side for me. Tell what house rules you'd like to follow and I ...

What were the estimates of casualties in conquering Germany in 1945? They had also plenty of troops, planes and tanks left and they were swearing to fight to the end and arm civilians etc., but once the assault began, lines quickly collapsed, civilians didn't fight and the war ended quickly.

Can I except GGWAW in shops in Finland, or is it only available through web? Also, as the game seems to be rather simplified, will it be a full prize game(50€ in Finland)(I would like to have Strategic Command, but it's 50€ here and I think it's rather prizey for a simple game)?

<t> This would be my first my PBEM game ever, so I'm not very experienced. I would play as Germany, you would be Soviet Union. Year or type of battle doesn't matter, except no Stalingrad-like city battles. All options on expect command & control. I have 6.1 and can't upgrade, because it's impossibe ...
