Still looking for another MP opponent, pref playing Allies for multiple reasons

I have reached the gulf of tarent recently and am now gonna start to destroy the italian main battle fleet. It was really nice to fight the italians for once, although some of the missions stretch on for a real long time. Also the italians are very weak. The only time I really take any damage is wh...

Looking for an MP game, prefer Allies as I don't have time anymore for massive 10 hour planning turns

Nice to see you're still going! Random thought browsing through the pictures. Did you ever fix the bugs with the normal vs. special Emil variants? I recall a very high attack value difference as well as a camo difference which led me to use the non-special variant for a long time.

Gentleman I have a couple of questions for you. 1) Did you guys go North or South for the Kursk battles? 2) Did you get a DV in the Kursk armory's? If not how close did you get? Did you have trouble getting the bonus tanks? 3) This question is just for Eskuche, are you going to be able to play the ...

Here are some things you can do: 1. Change graphics > efx.txt to any other name. This removes the shooting graphics and speeds things up considerably. 2. Change movement speed to max before AI turn. 3. Delete/change the AUDIO folder. This removes explosion effects as well as floating casualties numb...

I skipped the NW section of Prokhorovka, and blitzed it after the big counterattack. For return to Kishinev, threat management in the front line as defender is key. Using my best infantry in forests to ensure no attacks on me on unpredictable rain turns was the way (make sure they cannot be hit by k...

What difficulty is recommended? What are the changes in 3.3? File seems big. Difficulty alway normal. Otherwise game parameter like number of turns and so on can change and this can be a problem with victory conditions and so on. For a few thousend units the countryflag is added now to the strength...

Are you interested in playing a MP match? I can't get any made anonymously to stick more than a turn..

I recently tested two scripts with randomness factor that may activate units from those pockets (eg 2 for Minsk, 4 for Kiev). It made the initial days much more uncertain and thus feel much less like a play by the book. Only tried singleplayer and still testing conditions and randomness factors. Im...

Ah, thank you, will correct that! I also did another check regarding the Fw 190 A rebalancing and some significant issues showed up. I'm really having trouble with the game engine mechanics in that regard. Might have to settle for some more minor adjustments for now. The rounding can also skew the ...

2M might be good on the 8.8 cm PaK or the large 30 cm nebel, both of which are cheap, very strong units, with positioning issues. If you don't have a morser yet might be worth that too. I don't think the siege guns are mandatory, but they made breaking/holding certain positions a lot easier. In Sonj...

No Soviet SPAAG has 2 range period, something I only noticed very very late. So your fighter cover 1 hex back is almost always safe. This is nice. Wurf doesn't need a specific hero, but range helps some tricky positioning or opening a position to air bombardment if there is a second row SPAAG. I hon...

Few comments: - The 7.5 cm ATs will start to get eaten by enemy tanks, especially unexpectedly with inclement weather and in cities, where they can appear out of nowhere. Strongly, strongly suggest moving almost all SE to infantry. - Wurfrahmen is excellent; it's the panic button for "I need to...

I got a youtube playthrough of BE2.4. It is in German and the autotranslated english subtitles are mediocre. Also it was with Locarnus Addon which changes quite a bit. Making it easier in some regards. But I just rushed the still immobile Russians with old equipment. The latest tank models are not ...

I want to have another look at the movement tables first, before making big changes to the ground recon. Phased movement for air recon only for GC is also much easier to implement, because there are so few equipment file entries for them. The baseline vision 2 makes it so that bad weather leads to ...

Additional thoughts: 1. Not sure how important the minutiae in air war balancing is. In the end, optimal play is weakening enemy fighters to one-shottable range and then either using mass initiative bonus to wipe them out or just let them go non-elite replace to take them down little by little. Of c...

1. I think AI recon is fine for its use: keeping the player honest and making sure there is air cover on everything close to the front line. Because enemy recon have so much movement now on roads, they have de facto longer spotting range, and they are basically one shot use in that the AI doesn't ha...

Indeed a very interesting read and impressive progress so far eskuche. Clearly a bigger challenge needs to be prepared for a general of your calibre! Thanks but it's just because I play this too much. The named heroes are probably carrying my campaign to be honest. I may try a 0 prestige/25% experi...
