TRP - Total Realism Project for War in Europe (1.10 Download)

[ReinerAllen]

I've been playing 1.6.7 RC2 as the allies, no FOG, playing zero experience for both. I've managed to build a solid French defense, so solid it's now almost November and the Germans are stalled on the Rhine. Any thoughts on how to make this a bit more realistic?

TRP Europe v1.6.8 has been released

Lots of adjustments to Russia (Map), Partisan changes in Russia, want to see how this new Partisan system works out for people. If this seems to be a good system then I will encorporate it in other key places in the game.

Lots of air power changes as the late game bombers/strategic bombers are still way to over power and can wipe out entire CORP. Was playing a PBEM game in 1943 and from April 1943 to August 1943 he was able to use the German airforce to kill over 1000MPP, per turn, of Russian units with air power. The best he ever did was to kill 1900MPP in just a single turn. I believe this was tied to level 3 bombers have 60% demobilization.

Hey,

loving the mod so far!
I have a question about "Ground Attack Weapons" research. It says: "increases tactical and medium bombers attack values against all target except naval units".
But when I look at a unit that has it, the values in [ ] only go up against Fighter, Bomber, Strat. Bomber and Kamikaze. So only against aerial units.
Is this intended? If yes, doesnt this make researching it underpowered. Right now I dont see why it is worth spending 175 MPP researching this.

Damage from planes was flat lined a while ago because it was causing planes to dominate and that combat advancement was not from land units attacking but from air power just wipping out entire CORP (which is not historically what happened).

It is worth researching because of AIR to AIR combat and AIR to LAND combat (when your planes are being attacked on the ground).

If you fall behind in the tech then enemy fighters will do more damage to your bombers and if the enemy bombers attack your bombers directly they will take more damage.

This helps represent how the German air force was able to destroy so many Russian planes on the ground. It was because the Russian tech was so far behind so the opening attack on Barb you can do some serious damage to the planes on the ground etc...

[borsti39]

Okay yeah that makes a lot of sense. I was just confused because the tooltip in the research suggested something else.

Hello, great game, and even better mod, I'm playing TRP for the first time, going september 21, 1939, but already very excited about this mod. Great work, really.

One error, though rather insignificant but still: The river in the middle of Finland, named River, roughly between Suomussalmi (it's SUO-, not SOU-, btw :p) and lake Oulujärvi is, fiction. Such river does not exist in real world.

The amphetamine I took came down and I realise that literally no one cares, even I myself don't care, at all

I've played twice and noticed (by cheating and turning off FoW to check) that at some point during the campaign in France, 1940, the Allied AI strips all the units from the Italian border and sends them north. Happened both times. There must be a trigger [2 hexes to Paris?).

There's no way the French would leave their border with Italy totally undefended. They give up Marseilles and the main base of the French fleet.

The French didn't have much along the border. Three divisions plus some assorted smaller units. But they didn't abandon the front.

Love this Mod so far.

It was done on purpose as a last ditch effort for the AI to get another turn or two of France surviving.

Fair enough. When I took Marseilles and neared Dijon, the AI railed a French tank division south to block the Italians, and their front came unhinged.

I'm into December 1940 and enjoying it.

Question: Hungarian Mech corps do not get 2 strikes. By design?

I'm not sure if I like the two division Afrika armor. It's tough taking on the larger UK forces. I'll see how it goes.

[Nowi]

Playing as the Allies. It's Jan 1940. I've yet to lose a point to U-Boats. Odd.

I turned off FoW to see where they were. Three are parked 4-6t hexes east of Karlskrona, Sweden.

I guess they're safe there. Am I missing something? Are they waiting for Norway? France?
