Re: The "Gabe-Mod" (v10.0.6)

After a long time playing the vanilla version, it's funny to see heavy infantry attacking my ships... :lol:

Also noticed an error in my mod. Gave the "DUKW" transport a "shallow_draft" chassis instead of "amphibious". Suddenly they couldn't disembark on beaches and forest ...

The Japanese campaign works with all "Major Victories" on level V difficulty.
And if the "Guadalcanal" scen works with the Marines campaign, the remaining scens will work, too...

Re: classes.txt stats?

For a long time, I wanted some way to see the "torpedo" attack stats of units. That's why I started to tinker with this whole mechanic. But whatever I tried, there was no way to change how the values were displaye or even to change/mod the stat icons.

So my solution in my mod was to use the (unused ...

Re: [Change-Request][Asian town missing a road bridge][New]

It's kind of a known bug: if there's a road intersection on river hexes the bridge feature doesn't work anymore...

To fix this, you would need to rework the road placements.

This applies to all your other posts about "missing bridges". Just so you know.

Re: [Unit Bug][Polish infantry10.0]


There appears to be two identical Polish 1945 infantry units.


Yeah, noticed them, too.
My guess is they were added by mistake. But once they have been used in some scenario, deleting them from the units file would cause an error; namely spawning the unit with id=0, the Japanese "Type 97 ...

Re: [Gameplay bug][Destroying cargo trucks does not lower Soviet unit efficiency in the Raate Road scenario][New]

Maybe the text is a bit misleading, but destroying the trucks reduces the supply output of the nearby supply hexes from 20 -> 10 or 15 > 10 respectively.

Good find. Also an easy fix in my mod, as the "D2A" model is in the game already.

Re: [Gameplay Bug][Reward missing upon objective completion in the Lanfeng scenario][New]

Fun fact: It' not the “Don't lose more than 3 Auxiliary units” award that's flawed, but the 160 RPs from the primary objective "Take Zhengzhou". You only get 100RP. Easy fix in the text files. Thanks.

Re: Unusable commanders clutter UI


The Soviet Commissar, for example, is like a ball and chain, dragging you down with negative defensive stats:


This is not the Soviet "NKVD Commander" you get in the stock Soviet campaign (through a specialisation, I believe?)!

The "Commissar" is only available to modders (or scenario creators ...

Re: [Gameplay Bug][Despite destroying Japanese fleet carriers at Coral Sea, Midway shows notice saying not as such][New]

Don't get your hopes up that anything gets fixed anymore.
Seriously.

But there's a "fix-pack" for the US/Japanese Pacific campaigns on the "Steam" forum of the game. Look into the "guides" section. The user name is "General ..." something. It works well.

Re: Shock stat?

Yeah, I get it's confusing as the "shock" stats are displayed as parts of 100 and the "efficiency" stats as 10. But basically a "shock" value of 40 will reduce efficiency by 4.
And even if the internal rounding in the game may show only 1 efficiency loss when attacked by an unit with 15 shock; if ...

I agree with others that it is scenario dependent but also very important is what difficulty you play. If playing colonel difficulty and above artillery and strat bombers becomes more important.

Re: On the utility of StuG III (B/D/E) series in German campaigns

Every "switch" unit has to cost extra CP, in my opinion. I wouldn't use the StuG spearheading an attack, but their high inf. attack stats are great to finish off infantry units, and their high vehicle defense stats make them hold their ground against enemy tanks. And an extra artillery is always ...
