Yes, I guess 4 CP is the most balanced change.

Another issue is the powerful 17cm K18 artillery with a range of 7 is available right from the start of the game, while historically it entered service in 1941.

More feedback on the 1939-1940 West German grand campaigns: there are some balance issues. The income is high enough to always use elite replacement for everything, so in the second half of the campaign you have multiple 5-star units. Also the secondary objective rewards aren't very satisfying. In ...

I think the +4 is the global capacity (all airfields and carriers on map). The local airfield could only provide for 10 (9 for the bombers with an extra +1)

Hi Erik,

In your Germany 1939-40 West campaign, I played Narvik scenario and it seems bugged. According to instructions, once you get hold of the mobilization center, each sunk destroyer should spawn a new unit there, but I got all my destroyers sunk and yet no land unit spawned, even if I ...

Does anybody use this unit in the German Blitzkgrieg/Panzerkrieg campaigns? In my opinion, at 5 CPs, it is not worth it, as it is worse than a tank and worse than an artillery.

Historically it was one of the most common armor used by the Germans, but only because it was a cheaper replacement for ...

The ambience sounds (background machinegun and explosions sounds) stops every time I start a new mission.

They could be heard for like a second during the mission briefing, then a crackle is heard and then complete silence (I stopped the music from preferences).

I renewed the certificates. Anyway the SSL warnings are not an issue as long you do not enter any kind of information in there.

Increasing the difficulty by increasing the strength of all enemy units does not feel right to me, so I came up with a system that increases the difficulty in a more realistic way: restrict units available for purchase.

So we have 6 classes for ground units (Inf, Recon, Arty, Tank, AA, AT) and 4 ...

Hi everybody,
I hosted the unit navigator tool here:

I'm not complaining about difficulty. The campaigns can definitely be won by only using cheap units of every class. But the prestige is so tight that you don't get to experiment with a LOT of units Germans have in their equipment roster. Yes, I can afford a couple of Tiger tanks, but then a self ...

I always find myself short of RP in these campaigns. After repairing the damaged units and upgrading a single unit from one scenario to the next, I have only 200/300 RP left just enough for battle replacements. Seeing how many equipment types the Germany has, which I cannot afford to buy, is kind of ...

Towards the end of Panzerkrieg campaign I have downgraded the SS arty to 75mm leIG without transport so I could upgrade the tank to Tiger according to CP limit (first H, then E as soon as available). At Kursk the SS Tiger had 5 stars. I couldnt care less for lack of specializations.

I am halfway into Panzerkrieg (with 2nd SS specialization), and I fill my SS CP with 1 Panzer, 1 Inf, 1 75mm arty. I find I always stockpile more SS RP than regular RP, so the advantage is that I can always use elite replacements for SS and the panzer is always upgraded to best available model. I ...

Being a fan of old SSI 5-Star Series, I enjoy OoB a lot, especially the supply system.

It remembers me of the old Pacific General (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1741130/Pacific_General/). While old, it still feature some mechanics that were not implemented in other games, such as:
- Night ...

I am using the scenario editor to edit the overpowered heroes on special units received for free in DLC39-40. For example Oleh Dir: from Move +3 Init +3 to Move +1 Init +2. My own rules is the sum of bonus attributes not to be greater than 3 in '39 and 4 in '40.

Looks to be PC2 is like Panzer General 3D was for the PG series. I really don't like 3D graphics for a wargame.

It is the settings that keeps me coming back for more on this great game


Agree.

I am currently using a custom difficulty with:
Player prestige: 50%
AI prestige: 50%
Turns: -5

That is a combination between Rommel and Guderian, with a PP penalty for the AI. This way it's like in the old Panzer ...

No, it was Harkov'42. And I also remember something similar in Vitebsk scenario. It was clearly not scripted, the Soviet AI likes to buy KV tanks the same as Poland buys tankettes in 1939 DLC. Maybe it's because difficulty has 150% AI prestige, but it doesn't feel right anyway.

This has nothing to do with the outcome of previous battles. Also it has nothing to do with supply lines, since the game does not abstracticize them. The units can pop-up out of thin air behind your lines if you bypass a insignificant town.
Also, I had no problems if the AI would purchase a balance ...

Playing DLC, you have probably noticed that towards the end of a scenario, in an enemy held town, the AI will start buying units, usually spamming the most expensive unit it can buy.
Playing GC42 East, I have just witnessed the AI buying 5 (FIVE!) KV-1 tanks around a town. Fortunately I was able to ...
