Recom plane offers a precision bonus to friendly units attacking the enemy below it, and gets exp the same way ground recons do when such battle happens iirc. They don't actually "support" the battle in terms of dealing damage to the enemy or something.

I've not noticed that, but I wonder if it's a one-off freak occurrence, or if it's happened numerous times to you. Or if there is an error in its stats or settings. A 20mm gun is NOT supposed to able to deal regular damage to a high altitude strategic bomber. A status thing, normal 20mm AA guns hav...

The actual reason is that this recon car doesn't have the trait that makes most of its damage go to suppression so even though its a terrible gun with terrible AA value it kills planes on the top difficulty. Often it will put 0-2 on the board against planes. The performance is nonsense. I've not no...

No. It's just a hint about what's happening there in Poland while you the player is not involved.

For air force, there is enough to have an air show if you list them all: Fighter aircraft: 9 Fiat CR. 32 , last batch arrived in September 1937 50 Hawk-II , or the Curtiss F11C Goshawk, last batch arrived in 1940 102 Hawk-III , or the Curtiss BF2C Goshawk, last batch arrived in 1940 10 Boeing 281 , ...

As for armoured vehicles, there was barely a bone of an armoued unit when the war started. Aside from some makeshift armoured cars, the best armoued vehicle the Central Army possessed were 12 Sd.Kfz.221 and 6 Sd.Kfz.222, which was called "Horch 4.5-ton armoured car", and 16 Panzer I, refer...

I'm not covering infantry weapons here, since those would be extremely complicated due to how improvised and hand-crafted weaponry can work in terms of small firearms, and that PzC2 does not differentiate those that much like tanks or artillery pieces. Hopefully this would help when the developing t...

I don't think China fielded any tanks in their fight against the Japanese, so I would imagine mainly infantry, artillery, and possibly armored cars. This is not a theatre that I know much about. I know it was brutal though. They sure did have tanks! Mostly tankettes and Vickers E in the beginning, ...

Wow, didn't expect a linked campaign with China, have to say. Wonder where are the Frontline series and War Story series going. I thought WS would linke up with a campaign in France, but there is no info on that.

speaking of Recon. if I have an Air Recon with Aim Assist between 2 fighters with aggressive counter when attacked will the Assist and Recon traits take effect when the fighters defend themselves? and will they help with Double Support? Aiming Assistance should work as long as the unit attacking/de...

Recon gives recon bonus, that's why they don't participate in mass attack.

maybe its popping up because of a Mod. I don't care< I'm not a "purists" when it comes to Heroes. my question was more along the lines should Double Mass be put on say an Infantry unit to help attack Forts, Entrenched Cities, Etc, or is it just an extra addition to put on any unit so that...

Hi, do you mean Double attack? or is this a new hero from a Mod? if it is double attack i always pair with a heavy artillery unit as you will get far more use from it than the short term gain on a fighter. Just my 2p worth. Martin. Double Mass Attack hero makes a unit provides 2x bonus for Mass Att...

The only DLC after AO that seems to have a linked campaign design is the War Story one. Others are all standalone campaigns.

Everyone has opinions with what they like and don't like regarding many aspects of this game, but the point I make above is one that has been ringing pretty consistently over and over again by most and yet still seems to get ignored. Why? imo it was a decision made due to the very AO grand campaign...

Heavy Artillery Unit and Heavy Bomber Unit to help in capturing entrenched Forts, cities, Strongpoints, etc. Depends if you want the unit to suppress the target so others can do the job, or destroy such target on its own, this will vary. It will also be different for artillery and planes: Suppressi...

You mean the Sd.Kfz 251/7 Ausf. D? That one is available from May 1942, not in 1941.

I'd say just set those ships in Brighton Beach scenario to ally and script to aggressively attack. Problem solved, just like how it was executed later in AO46. Did not work for me. I lost the Yamato for absolutly no reason. Its even more ridiculous if you get scripted messages "we are under at...

The whole campaign could be a bit more dynamic. I dont want to safe all my ship in sealion just to read in the debriefing, that I lost my fleet :( I'd say just set those ships in Brighton Beach scenario to ally and script to aggressively attack. Problem solved, just like how it was executed later i...
