Re: Panzer Corps 2 - Spanish Civil War || Dev Diary #1

This looks and sounds all very cool! A lot will of course depend on how competent your Spanish AI allies will be. If they are too dumb, it could be frustrating. If they are too smart, then maybe your own contribution will feel trivial... though since they seem limited to infantry while you are limit...

Re: Looking ahead to Patch 5

Disclaimer - I'm not into MP so am writing from a SP / Campaigner perspective: What are the options for making PaKs more viable compared with self-propelled AT? They were the backbone of German anti-tank capability on the Eastern Front, not the limited supplies of non-StuG panzerjaegers. Admittedly...

I know that is how it worked in PC1 but I honestly can't say I noticed that here. I thought they protected until their ammo ran out?
They seem to protect other planes until they run out of ammo, but only once for ground units.

Re: AA - German 8.8 strength

88 covers a larger area than a fighter, and it can provide cover to more than one unit at a time (fighters only protect ground units once per turn). Flakvierling and self-propelled variations can be more effective dealing with fighters and tactical bombers due to higher rate of fire, but they are ba...

Re: Supply Rules Seriously Flawed

I always play with the negative trait affecting supply and I do notice the limitations on some units a lot (while on others it doesn't matter still). Tanks frequently run out of ammo because of overrun, Scout cars constantly run out of fuel. Also bad weather makes things a lot worse. I especially re...

Re: Ask the head of Panzer Corps 2 your questions!

Compared to Panzer Corps 1 you made some of the less popular unit classes like Recon and Anti-Tank units much more interesting, everything has its purpose. Do you strife to make some barely used units have their niche as well? For example Marder series (overshadowed by StuG series) or Jagdpanzer IV ...

Re: Flame tank uses?

I only use them if I have fitting heroes for them (the one that prevents Close Defense from being applied for example), like SineMora mentioned. In my last playthrough I did not get such a hero so I didn't use them at all, but in my previous playthrough I had the Close Defense hero and put that on a...

Re: AT support fail?

AT support units don't give support fire for other AT support units, they can only support other unit types. So having multiple of these units next to each other is not very useful. Other AT support units arent friendly? https://i.imgur.com/LztiudF.jpg And the 15cm, an ART, doesnt support a friendl...

Re: Bonus Objective in Bagration?

The way I approached the mission, I kept a small force at the southern objectives at Warsaw and Siedlce while the rest of my forces was moving to Minsk. Also kept a unit at Baranovichi and the airport there as I deployed my own air units there to assist the defense of Minsk. Protecting Minsk with th...

Re: Planes: "1-hex hop" update suggestion

Bombers are already very powerful as it is, giving the option to attack multiple times over the same target in one turn seems just insane. You already can do that kind of with the phased movement hero on your planes and delete any tank with just two planes really, and that already feels silly.

Re: HELP!! Game seems too hard. And other critique

Kursk is certainly an interesting scenario, if you don't follow the warnings of the briefing and do some scouting the enemy counterattacks can definitely catch you offguard. I did and I still got a bit surprised because I didn't notice bridge engineers in the southeastern enemy group and didn't expe...

Re: Sorry about this, but....

As others stated, unless there was a weird bug going on, it is much more likely that your Panther was actually in close terrain when attacked by the enemy cavalry. It is impossible for infantry to penetrate a Panther's armor in the open. In close terrain that result is very possible though. The gren...

Bonus Objective in Bagration?

I am currently at the Bagration mission and I notice that there is a bonus objective (hold Minsk, Baranovichi, Vilnius at turn 10). I have no clue what the possible reward could be though and if it is worth pursuing (just looking at the deployment screen it looks challenging). A lack of transparency...
