Hi there, love your work so far. I just wanted to check one question I had, which may represent either a bug or an intended change from the base game that is not fully explained in-game.

I've noticed that researching and upgrading "ground attack weapons" for my aircraft, at least the first two levels I have so far, have not increased the attack of my aircraft against ground targets at all. Instead, it seems to increase their attack/defence against other aircraft only. Noted for both medium bombers and tactical bombers. Is this intended? It seems to make aircraft research far less valuable and aircraft moderately weaker overall. I also see the description of the ground attack weapons research also still states it will increase attack against ground targets, which is currently not the case.

Is this all an intended change?

I updated the text for next release but this is not a bug, it is working as intended. I have explained my reasons several times in the thread and in Discord. I also explain it in the training videos. Look over at the air section on Youtube and go over combat as well.

If the game is set up for player vs. player, why are there so many objectives listed vs Vanilla? What does that do in player vs. player?

Some notes
- This is NOT recommended for single play, Japan AI is present (mostly) but the USA AI is only defensive and has no offensive plan.

This still valid?

Lothos!

I've played every SC game DLC, and Mod since SC1. I used to think (correctly) that there were not as good as Mod as done by players ever than SC 2. However after playing TRP War in Europe. I can say that TRP IS the best Mod ever bar none. It takes you to the fine art of operational combat and makes Grand Strategic planning a must! I cannot tell you how I look forward to WAW TRP. You have made my life better. Just saying.

Awesome and glad you are enjoying it

TRP World is really for PBEM. Their is some AI but not really good enough and it just takes hundreds of hours just to make adjustments. I really have to be in the mood to work on it.

v0.8.23:

It shows no values for terrain under the point properties. Defense bonus is 0.

Is this a bug? Work the game with the real bonus?

v0.8.23:

Their are two ways to do defense bonus in the editor. One is a gobal setting that effects all units equally. The other is by unit.

I am using by unit so the only way to see defense bonuses is have the unit physically in the hex.
