Hi folks, been playing this excellent game for a while now but still unsure about what some of the unit traits do.
Something I would expect to be in the manual or something I can click on in the game to find out - but I see no info anywhere?
Is there any way of finding out exactly what benefits the ...

Way to cast a bad light on your fellow Germans, KeinGeneral. This is an English speaking forum. Anyone old enough to have played Pacific General should also have had enough time to learn some English and maybe a bit about basic internet forum etiquette.

I agree that OoB isn't perfect. But neither ...

Thanks for your feedback.
To be sure the mechanic is properly understood: both attacker AND defender are affected by the same damage reduction. So proportionally, the attacker does not suffer any more damage by attacking a low strength unit than it would against a full strength opponent.
That's ...

As for naval combat: in my opinion this needs an overhaul. It seems to me that the most important aspect of naval combat in this game is the number of fields you move. The faster you go, the less damage you deal. There is also some effect from course changes (or perhaps this is supposed to reflect ...

Hi guys, I figured I'd share some opinions on this game from the perspective of someone who really liked the General series games. First of, I really like the efficiency and supply system you came up with. It definitely has a lot of potential, but maybe it could be fine-tuned a little. In my opinion ...

In my opinion the upgrade system should be based mostly on the difference in value of two units. To include limited availability of units (as in PGIII:SE) would also make sense.

True, but remember that in Salerno,

"Naval bombardment was carried out by the following heavy forces: 7 Battle Ships,2 2 Monitors, 23 Cruisers, 2 Gun Boats and 74 Destroyers. In addition, a wide variety of special amphibious fire support craft were provided, to give close support by firing onto ...

From what I know TigerIIs could be destroyed even by medium tanks such as the T-34-85. The side armor wasn't invincible and the armor quality of late war tanks low. Lack of mobility and mechanical breakdowns further limited the effectiveness of these tanks. But with their elite crews they still ...

Consider one thing:
Look at the pacific theator. Look at the massive bombardment by ALOT of battleships , cruisers as well as overwhelming air bombardment, on islands only a couple of square miles in size. Then look at the cost on American lives trying to take those same Islands.
Clearly the ...

Capital ships already kill 1to 3 strength points and do long time suppression.

Have you played the game yet?

They are quit capable of reaking havoc on units.
If you want to disagree then disagree, there is no need to be unfriendly.
If you bother to look at the unit statistics you will see that ...

@Mrfancypants -I'm finding my Cruisers more than adequate giving naval support in the Norway scenario....

As to the Brits being better in the same scenario with shore bombardment because of "lots of Battleships and cruisers?"

So far I've encounterd 1 Brit battleship and 2 heavy cruisers (as well ...

Too inneffective? play Norway and see what those Brits can do to your helpless ground forces! :D Also, not sure why a werhmacht Army/Army group commander would be able to "requistion" direct control over Naval units (which once you are in Russia would be waste of core slots anyhow)

Dont get me ...

I'm a fan of Pacific General as well. In my opinion Panzer Corps is a step back from Pacific General as it doesn't allow buying naval units and doesn't have a detailed damage model for ships. Plus, naval support fire is too ineffective.

do you keep the prestige, units, experience from the tutorial after having completed them? I gues not and perhaps this is also for the better, but on the other hand, the actual training some units had in the late 30's gave them an advantage in the real opening stages of ww2...
I hoped for that as ...
