Glitches and Wish List for patch

[osiris_slith]

Hi

1: Stop the unit going back and forth thing..really crazy

2: Trench symbol does not display in 2d mode when you zoom out

3: Russian 82mm mortar units in 3d are out of alignment with their outline

4: For improving the AI:

Option 1: Get rid of the supply rule completely. I dont think anyone will miss the HQ units anyway. The units in most of the battles portrayed have enough ammunition for the action. Besides in most actions in WW2 running out of ammunition was ussually the case for a battle being terminated (not my quote..check the write up for PanzerBlitz). You can introduce ammo supply like SPAW which is far more realistic and than introduce genuine supply carriers..to repsupply a unit it could be as simple as being adjacent to the supply carrier for 1 turn..

Option 2: Figure out why the AI wont move its HQ units..the AI is going to get massacred everytime because its units are out of supply..especially on large maps.

5: Get rid of the leader car at the battalion level. At least at the battalion level command it should be a proper combat unit. A infantry battalion leader could be represented as a squad/section of infantry and a tank battalion commander as a single tank. Most tank and infantry battalion commanders did not run around in little cars..besides some people use the cars as adhoc recon units which is a load of ^@##$%$%. Secondly the leader should have a zone of influence which means any units within 4 hexes of the leader would have their morale go up..also more realistic

Just some thoughts

Supply rule principle is sound IMO. Supply radius should be bigger though. I would want HQ to be even more valuable - affect morale and affect not 1/2 but 2/3 of fire power. HQ units give the only incentive for flanking, breakthrough and other interesting tactic. And I don't like Steel Panther ammo trucks at all. AI absolutely unable to handle ammo trucks. HQ units are more easy on AI.

BTW it would be good to have ability to set supply radius multiplayer in options and supply effect in the options - that way people who don't like this rule could turn it off and other can increase supple effect.

5: Get rid of the leader car at the battalion level.

Here I agree. HQ unit are better CC representation than commander in the car on the spearhead of attack.

Totally agreed. I would add that besides that the reload probability without HQ in contact should be very minimal. (As far as I understand there is quite a big chance for a unit to be resupplied even if the HQ is destroyed and it is calculated by the overall supply %)

Supply radius bigger sound like a good idea! but i do think the consequenses of getting your HQ killed off should be more severe..lose it and your unit loses supply so the suggestion 2/3 firepower is great.

but if there is a overall calculation for supply that ensures a high chance of resupply than what is the point of knocking off HQ units other than getting extra points..If u kill of the HQ units than unit should be out of supply really fast, lose 2/3 firepower and no magical overall calculation..HQ units should be dedicated in supply to a specific unit.
