morvael I agree that the loss ratio is ridiculous. Check my AAR, I posted there 3 attacks where German losses were like 17 and 77 men. I don't have problem with high Soviet losses but seriously, retreating German unit with only 17 casualties?

In the long run it works fine. Combat events were necessary to adjust the ahistorical 2:1-1:1 loss ratio, which was unsustainable by the German manpower way earlier than IRL.

Only one of the attacks was affected by combat event(W).

15% boost has significant impact on default ratios, which are more favourable to the Soviets. Game is not balanced for difficulty level other than 100. It's meant only to give the AI an edge it needs against human player.

At least until September all Soviet units suffer extra losses in battle, especially when retreating. And don't forget "combat events" (counterattacks and fighting withdrawals, which help higher skilled defender).

CV ratios mean only that you have numerical superiority at the end of combat and how did your leader/morale/experience rolls went. They have no impact of losses in battle, in which higher skilled units and/or defending units always deal much more damage than the attacker. Winning a battle is more about being last man standing, than loss ratios.

Thank you

The September thing: is it over in September or is it over on 1 October?

Will there be an update for the air bombing on 1st turn, or is it to remain as is?

[morvael]

There will be a fix.

Should I be playing on .01 beta or wait until it is public?
