Originally I did not intend to assault Leningrad, however two factors changed my mind about it. The first one was the approximated displayed CV which was rather low, and the second factor was the assurance that even if the attack had failed, there would have been no retreat losses for the attacker. Especially because of this factor I decided to 'risk' it, loaded 1st Panzer with a couple of flak SUs (from jubjub's thread) and an engineer SU, and proceeded with the attack.
Now admittedly it was against a coastal artillery division and a probably weak mechanized division. But at the same time, Leningrad was not isolated and there was a level 3 fort in the hex on top of the heavy urban terrain type. RNG rolls might have also played a factor here. So could this be considered an extraordinary and isolated case or has taking urban hexes become easier with too few incentives not to attack?
If someone from the dev team wants to check the combat simulation under the hood, it's the server game against mind_messing.
