Re: Unusable commanders clutter UI



Commanders are one of the most useless additions to the game anyway, in my opinion.


Well, a "+2" defense stat change can make a difference between 1 damage or no damage. And repairing my 5-star elite strat bombers or Jagdpanthers can cost easily 50-100 RP per damage point.

And every ...

Re: Unusable commanders clutter UI



There’s a minus symbol on the commander’s picture that lets you minimize its size.


I had noticed that icon but never clicked on it. I'm an idiot. 🤣

I thought it might be a rank or some other abstract thing.

Thanks a lot!


Yeah but that minus only helps partially. Because if you want to ...

Re: Shock stat?


I have never actually noticed Efficiency being reduced by more than 2 points. That's why I'm wondering what the advantage is of using the best strategic bombers over an engineer unit or even a tactical bomber... at least when it comes to reducing Efficiency, of course😉

best unit type balance

I have seen many players with a completely unbalanced unit type composition (too many battleships, too much artillery etc). So I would just like to get everybody's opinion on what the perfect unit balance is, that just feels natural. This is mine.

6 infantry
2 heavy infantry
2 engineer

Re: Shock stat?


How exactly does this stat work?

I know it affects Efficiency, but its value ranges from 10 to 25 (I think I've even seen 5, but never more than 25), so how does that number translate into the actual reduction of Efficiency?

For example, a strategic bomber with a Shock value of 25 is supposed to ...

Re: Why couldn't I spawn fighter aircraft at this airfield?


Could anyone explain why I could not spawn fighter aircraft at this airfield but could spawn reconnaissance aircraft there? Is it because the airfield has already allocated 9 supplies to maintain the 3 G3M bombers in the air, and the remaining 1 supply is not enough to get another 3-supply-costing ...

but these are classes. not individual units. Are you sure those numbers are those large ship/small ship etc stats? Because why would whole classes have those?

I assume that this is the order in which the types of variables are displayed, not the values of the variables

It's the actual "stats" of units and how they will be displayed in the bottom UI.

Re: Multiplayer map 1vs1 - Guadalcanal and New Georgia v.4.8

version 4.8

reduced the number of planes for the first 15 turns, just like I was done with ships previously. This is to create the opportunity for a nice landing and maybe a battle of Savo Island without too much inteference from planes

reduced the maximum number of fighters to 4. I.e. 8 planes ...

My favorite Campaign is the Japanese Rising Sun.
I feel like a player-made Campaign or a DLC (Pacific Domination) to follow-up the original game would be fascinating and enjoyable.

- Aleutian Expanse
- Eastern Redoubt (Conquest of the Hawaiian Islands)
