Its not a great thing to do every turn, but its the only way to wear down the German infantry so you can get a breakthrough some year lol

What frighten me is that everyone seems to think that :
having to do 50 manualy planned raids per turn plus ton of air rotation to allow that,
is a good thing [:D]

Oh no definitely not everyone because I'm with you Stelteck[:D]

I do see a whole bunch of bomb icons in many of my games against Soviet when I opened the turn and I never was able to do the same. Such extensive bombings may explain why the German casualties were a bit higher (about 30% in total?) than expected. But I still doubt its necessity if not efficacy. Or maybe it's just an excuse for being lazy.

I'am definitely lazy !!

I prove it this turn as i want to take picture of my order of battle i will take a little longer to do my turn sorry Stephane

Your go for the 8MP team game in ten minutes still lives on in legend [:D]

Yes i'am also doing the turn quite fast (but in a dirty way). Maybe i should calculate my average turn time for fun.

But that would take too much time [:D]

Turn 211, 28th june 1945

Heavy russian pressure South of Pripyat. 3 inf divs are surrounded. I will try to free them

lower Dniestr is crossed.I don't have any german Pzk south of Stanislav



Total failure. I wanted to move the 5 successive stacks. I wasn't able to even move the first one...



Closer view of the northern part of the front. Less russian tank corps here...



... and some counterattacks. Losses are really ugly

Following this turn, as promise here the data for soviet army :

I have 206 rifle corps.

I have 43 cavalry corps.

I have 39 tank corps :



And I Have 9 mech corps :



And Last i have 61 Artillery Divisions

Great to see the new update to the AAR.
@Stelteck: The Rifle Corps are suffering a lot TOE wise aren't they? Wouldn't it be better to disband other units that you don't need to fill those TOEs up?

Unit that i do not need ? [:D] Where.... ? I'am lacking around 100 rifle corps. [:D]

How bad is the manpower situation then?

I have always found the bombing of German units with my tactical/dive bombers a very pleasurable and satisfying task. The perfect thing to do when you enjoy killing Axis Pixeltruppen without too much thinking. That even includes taking administrative care of the air groups , as you can witness them growing them from their infancy to a formidable force.

Of course I am also a member of the U2VS fan club.

The looses from the start of the war :



Not sûre how is it compare to historical looses.



Generals get sacked all the time it is a little boring to restore them after they are dismissed periodicaly.

I have not so many good generals available. Even Jukov got dismissed around 3 times.

The production :
I need more medium tanks.
It is impossible to use all the BM Rocket Launcher you get. I have enough yet to equip 100 more dedicated support units regiments but it would have cost me 15000 trucks.
They take quite low looses in battle. No idea if they are usefull. (I would say not really as they have low CV and the shooting phase is less important).



Having too much Armement points is useless.

Edit: Figured out where the discrepancy came from, nevermind.

Do you still know if the Soviet union lost a considerable amount of armaments industry at some point after 1941?

Or do you have a shot of the Special industry screen at late 1941/early 1942?

I love Rockets personally and generally choose them over a bigger tank arm if I have the opportunity to turn on the Axis manpower grind nice and early

I didn't hear that.

Why not, but how many germans are killed by these support units ? Difficult to say.
