FOW Question for GC players?
Posted: Thu May 18, 2023 4:22 am
Many aspects of the game mechanics vary in a temporal fashion based on the period between '41 and '45.
However, I have come to the conclusion the FOW feature of the game does not take the timeline into account. If it does, only indirectly as other game parameters are provided as input. (Like if superior recon cameras are available or better pilots are flying the planes.)
Why do I believe so. Well, I can play in '41, and FOW can make a Red Army unit look quite scary that will shatter if someone throws a rock at it. The same is not true later on.
So, what do you GCers think? I have come to the conclusion FOW must always be combined with personal intuition when determining how much CV is truly required for success. This also includes whether reserve divisions/corp will pop up in the calculations.
@Joel besides in the battle details including morale, experience ... I think average CPP should be included as it is so important.
