RE: Multiplayer question

<t> It works very well in my experience.&nbsp; The only hiccups I've encountered:<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
* Airstrikes sometimes take a while to "take".&nbsp; I wind up clicking multiple times to make sure they go through.<br/>

Airstrikes did nothing either. From what I gather in flight sims, it's reasonable to expect on average a couple stuka strikes (500 kg each) to take out a medium/heavy tank. Given that air strikes are 1 tonne of bombs then you'd think a couple should ...

It's easy and often advisable to cross-attach units or reinforce a battalion with units from a higher organization. I don't necessarily want to see 1-54 Armor, I ant to ...
