Wir4: Will Historical OOB still limit the game?

Post by KoenigMKII »

In the historical WWII Germany suffered a terrible defeat. IMHO using Historical OOB and linked availability dates for air wings and divisons is incorrect.

This is because Germany did not totally mobilise her peacetime economy until after the defeat at Stalingrad. Her production of tanks, aircraft and U-boats before that was amazingly low.

For example, in wir 3.3 its late 1944 and as Germany I have played a more conservative game and reorganised the geman war economy's production from 22 June 1941.

The Me262 appeared earlyier and in larger numbers, and the USAF was savaged from the beginning. My war industries and Oil remained intact.

I have taken Leningrad and have fortified positions arround Moscow which still remains in Soviet hands.
However, I have 5000 panthers that cannot be used because the Old "German defeat" OOB dates cap the number of panzer divisions, and worse the tank strength of each division.

Will wir 4 address this difficulty?
