Re: Strategic Hexes?

just happened to me before cassino. Sometimes, the fighters impale themselves on your AA, sometimes, two four star spitfires VB gang up on your poor BF109, which is then turned into chaff. I suspect in the western GC, the conceptors upped the enemy planes' xp to compensate for the disastrous air AI....

Re: Strategic Hexes?

thanks for the reply capt'ain goose! :) I have no access to the game atm so i can't check the stats, but i'm quite sure i *had* to upgrade the 109s in 44 because of the spitfires (and the fuel!) Since the slots are precious, i reasoned that better upgrade to FW than buying sfkdiz, and the 8.8 is too...

Re: Strategic Hexes?

prevent enemy spawning is sometimes working, but i had cases (i suppose scripted) when units popped right next to an occupied town ;) two more questions : - is there a setting to enhance the AI use of planes? kamikaze bombing near a AA unit isn't awfully clever... - after cassino, you get a very nic...

Order of battle coming from PZC?

As a long time addict of PZC, i tried it and find the gameplay very disturbing :) what is the meaning of the numbers you you target an opponent? the losses? is there a tutorial or a video explaining the gameplay, because it's a great gap from pzc (which is a good thing, but i'm having issues to adapt)

Strategic Hexes?

The victory hexes are worth prestige. To the point that i often let the computer capture them if i can get them back easily. Playing on max difficulty on 44' west GC, and boy, am i prestige starved (after salerno i had to use free repairs, only 1k available) is this a good tactic, or is it wrong? (i...

Re: Panzer Corps: join the Slitherine Tournament!

bah, just noticed that post, too late.
Out of curiosity, how is it handled? hot seat sessions, like good 'ol heroes of might and magic? :)

i imagine you start on a given map with some fixed prestige amount.

Re: When does Rudel reappear?

ah, that's true! if a high velocity ammo enters the turret ... hmmm. Boom happens :) if i follow wikipedia, for example, panther A had 16mm, even less than the T34. Probly why they upped it in Panther G. I could check WoT weak spot guide, i guess, but i quit playing, if i go there again i fear i'll ...

Re: When does Rudel reappear?

interesting read, althought i wonder how even a 37mm gun can do more than scratch a KV 2 or IS :)
must have been deadly to those t34, thou.

SO, i want to go historical, i must wait for the FW 190 to get rudel out of a stuka :-)

Re: When does Rudel reappear?

interesting remarks :) I also play at colonel. It's true the playstyle depends on nation, and fighters are not that needed except for escort. I actually upgraded to a ME410 to reduce my fighter count, as they are most expensive units and prevent you buying stuff that is useful till the last turn (Ge...

Re: When does Rudel reappear?

Good point, but you can't do that against a "true" AA, like a 8.8 with two stars, i think. You'll sustain heavy losses and lose prestige. personally i almost always hit AA with artillery, THEN air strike, preferably with a strat bomber. ofc in US corps, when you got the B29 monsters, you c...

Re: When does Rudel reappear?

On a side note, i got super rudel with +3 attack and +1 initiative, and when upgraded to a ME410 he one shot almost everything :) I didnt do it, but you might reload the game if you got a hero you dont want. Althought every bonus looks useful, even spotting, as the ME has 2 range, so +1 is quite the...

Went the beta (or all betas) expires, how to you revert to normal? :)

Re: When does Rudel reappear?

afaik, none. The other elite units just pop on the map at the beginning.
You might check the "capturable units" thread if you don't want to miss any, thou.
