Re: map zoom

I use Zoomit.

Just download and start it to have it "actvie". When you want to zoom in, once activated, hit "alt+Z", the zoom level changes with the mouse wheel. Just hit "esc" to deactivate it and allow you to give orders etc.

I found it much better than the windows default version.

Hi LST,

Looking at diving into this great mod.

Thx for the time and effort you put into this mod and to those who contributed to it, especially the DBB crowd.

EDIT: Disregard, I found that I was mistaken. Game on.

So, not worth committing to delay unless there is a good reason, and, even better, the Axis player gets the majority of the German units in Finland to redeploy as wanted. Its one of those late game German bonuses that gets missed in the fixation with winning by T12.
Absolute gold!

Re: Unofficial patch


It sounds like you are making an assumption that your bombers did not fly because of "overcast at target". I have never seen that happen. Reasons for not flying could include:


I no longer have the saves and this was more than a year ago.

As to my assumption that this is what happened, I ...

Re: Unofficial patch

In wite2, also a Gary Grisby game, you can tell planes to fly in various weather conditions, including a blizzard. Their performance and OP losses are of course affected by the conditions.

My only but big issue with witp-ae is even without advanced weather options on, planes refuse to fly in fairly ...

Re: VVS destroys nearly 500 German fighters in a single Soviet air phase in 1941: WAD?

One more thing and I am not an expert on how the air works in the game but another possibility here is the attack height.

It appears that the attackers came in at 5000 ft and I am guessing the defenders were at 15K feet.

With a 10 K difference in height as far as I know they will miss each other ...

Re: VVS destroys nearly 500 German fighters in a single Soviet air phase in 1941: WAD?

Hi HL,

This is from my experience as the Russians.

I have SAD set up with 3 x fighters and 2 x bombers usually on GS assigned to a specific Front.

I have IADs set up with 5 x fighters not assigned to any air directive. Thus these guys should, and from experience, do intercept any enemies that ...

Re: VVS destroys nearly 500 German fighters in a single Soviet air phase in 1941: WAD?

It would seem to me that the issue could lie in weekly turns.

Once a fighter group is assigned as an escort for whatever bombing action, GS, GA etc, it is not available for CAP or AS for the entire week.

Thus even if the Germans had suitable radar on the eastern front in 1941 (not sure if they did ...

Re: We pay in Blood - HLYA (G) vs Veterin (S)

One more thought.

After the initial Barbarossa opening, what was the level of airfield bombing by both sides? From my readings, I don't recall this as being of much importance as it's not mentioned. This is possibly due to the difficulty involved in obtaining a successful attack.

I may be wrong ...

Re: We pay in Blood - HLYA (G) vs Veterin (S)

Yes I read the report re the air raid.

Seems kinda ahistorical at this point in the conflict.

The air war is not my strength in WW2, but I noticed in my game the reports detailing the movement of Axis air groups to new airfields, the same as Beethoven pointed out.

Seems a bit too much intel for ...

Hi HL,

Great to see you back and your AArs are invaluable as ever. Even those other wonderful and generous souls (not sarcasm) who do write AARs, only a few give us such insight into the game mechanics + strategy, and tactics as you do.

We have a dedicated team working on making the game better and squashing bugs. We have no deadlines or sales targets and we are not on the Matrix payroll. So it's been developed semi-officially for the past 5 years or so.

I have no particular comment re CPP at present, but rather one about WW1 stand offs.

It has been many many years since I played wite#1 but I do recall there were a lot of issues re WW1 type stand-offs in that game depending on the patch.
