We actually account for leader casualties in the rear, as seen by many posts over the past 2 years of people losing leaders in the rear far from visible combat. In fact, people found that bombing HQs could be too effective killing leaders, IIRC. There are so many ways that players push a game system. We cannot account for every factor, nor should we, although a game like WitP or WitE makes people think we can. But that's all philosophy (something my mother actually taught in school but I could never quite deal with). So practically speaking, yes, interdiction is not handled well in WitE, but in WitW it is a major component of the air/ground game. Absolutely now that we have airbases in WtiW we should make it much more efficient to fly supplies to airbases where they can then be disseminated, as opposed to flying cargo directly to units. I expect this will happen in WitW and WitE 2.0. As for WitE, it is what it is. We feel the game is reaching stasis (with large amounts of air transport, although I think you are minimizing the value of ground support). Wish we could do more, but further efforts are really going to have little return, and will only delay WitW and WitE 2.0. We feel that anyone coming into WitE now can get hundreds of hours of enjoyment from it, and those playing it have hopefully already had hundreds of hours of enjoyment and there have been many changes over the past 1-2 years to learn and absorb. As we've always said, the game is not perfect, but we feel it is pretty darn good and we've tried to support it as best we could (and probably more than we could afford to). Those wanting to see the next evolution of WitE will have to wait for WitE 2.0 which has to wait for WitW. We do appreciate your support as we move forward.
As I stated a simple fix is bombers cant drop fuel
only supplies.
Making airbases disseminate supplies better is not going to stop poeple from fling supplies to airbases and units.
Looks like it makes the exploit even better.
I dont see why only letting bombers drop supplies to fix a broken part of a game is a big deal.
I know we can simply put in plase a house rule saying only transports can drop fuel to nerf the exploit.
I hope this exploit is completely nerfed for witw or a Flaviusx said Patton will be in Berlin in Dec 1944.
I am not suree how 2by3 is going to address the logistic issue for witw, but its one area wite has completely failed at.
Its been the number one issue patch after patch, hopefully the new system finally fixes it.
