Re: Panzer Corps 3 - ideas, wishlist

My wishlist starts with the following three items: 1) Cut the graphics bloat (and/or the very inefficient engine) so that PC3 runs more like PC1 and does not waste so much performance that older computers cannot run it without fan noise and noticeably adding to your electricity bill. 2) as 1 3) as 1...

Re: Tactical puzzles

The puzzle works for me. But the exact damage dealt is not quite the same as in the video. My recon deals only one damage to the enemy artillery, my engineers do 6 on the 1st Inf, and after that, my infantry also does 6 (1st Inf is now weaker, so it does less damage before my attack), So the thresho...

Re: To attack or not attack?

Sometimes it is better not to attack because of the target retreating to a safer location. But here the enemy reconnaissance vehicle can do that anyway, moving and then repairing the same turn. Even if you don't attack. It seems likely that you can kill it outright anyway. But it could be that your ...

Re: To attack or not attack?

The tank will retreat to the river hex, where it is extra vulnerable. Or maybe the forest hex. If you want to kill it, you could attack with your tank, and then (if necessary) pursue the unit with your infantry to finish the job (if the tank is too strong defensively, that may not work). If you want...

Re: Map edge supply

If you extend the map to the right, you see that the supply from the right/east direction is not blocked.

Actually, I thought earlier that even the situation where the enemy unit is 1/2 hex more inward of the map, encirclement did not work, but you illustrated with a screenshot that it did.

Re: Map edge supply

The current edge supply system is highly unrealistic, for example the topmost car is sitting happily in an edge hex and can't be surrounded to cut off his supply, so every turn he'll simply get a big bunch of replacements and be as freah as a daisy- https://i.ibb.co/MDkqNZ4S/top-car-supplied.jpg If...

Re: Why is my strategic bomber getting shot down by an Italian recon jeep with a 50 cal?

1. the bomber is not killed, it loses 1 strength point of 10. 2. as a strategic bomber it is not very effective against a scouting unit, not too surprising. 3. the bomber has no experience and the target had both some experience and a 20% play-level bonus. The AW Whitley also has fairly weak ground ...

Re: Recon planes question

Benefit of recon planes in defense is limited, but: 1) parking a recon plane over your unit obviously prevents enemy air units from bombing it 2) parking a recon plane above te attacking unit (on the hex from where the attack will actually happen) provides the 10% bonus to the defending counterattac...

Re: Replacement points advice needed

The way combat works out in PC2 can be counter-intuitive (and hard to understand). But there is a 'L' shortcut key that shows a preview of the expected combat outcome. For enemy units attacking, their unit needs to move to get the preview (for some unknown reason). So, save the game, look at the 'L'...

Re: Replacement points advice needed

Repairs add suppressed strength. If the unit is then attacked, the damage will hit all strength points equally, suppressed or not. So some will be absorbed by the newly added (suppressed) strength. Even as the number of kills sustained will be the same, more unsuppressed strength will remain, and th...

Re: Frontlines - Westwall: No Shooting Back

Yes, Slow Reaction requires damage control, Terrain Expert, Artillery/AT support, units with solid defensive values, and lots of repairs. Maybe meticulous planning would have been a good trait here (in fact it is always a good trait to have...). Combine both 1) prompt surrounding/neutralizing/captur...

Re: Frontlines - Westwall: No Shooting Back

Always nice to read the AARs of missions you played yourself earlier (otherwise: beware of spoilers...). Slow Reaction is one of the traits I would never consider, because a good commander would try to plan for all contingencies rather than accept slow response (and corresponding unnecessary casualt...

Re: Bug Reports

As I understand it, the game moves a unit to the target hex in the most efficient (least movement points) way. But here (see attachment image) the infantry unit (Rangers) expends all its movement points to move to a river hex directly instead of going by road. Normally this would not matter, end of ...

Re: Storm Over Europe: Redux

I have a question. I had tried a little SoE Redux and forgot to disable the mod. When I then played the first scenario of 'Panzer Corps 2: Elite - Ghost Division' I could buy totally overpowered units like the Bf 109E5R Reconnaissance-Fighter-Bomber: only 1 slot - 70 Prestige, spotting 4, range 19, ...

No need to be rude. You live in this place, so best keep it pleasant, you're the first beneficiary of that.

Re: PC1 remake Mod - 1944east

Captured units cannot be disbanded, they're just available in limited stock to be bought. Once bought (as a core unit), disbanding will give back the prestige spent. Most of the units you can capture are not worth buying (not better than what you already have), so then omitting the prestige award wo...
