Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
I think I might have installed wrong somehow, I followed the instructions but my units look different than the pictures that people are posting. Aren't there supposed to be naval aircraft? I did all eqp just to look at all the new units

Ahhhh, had a dumb moment, I had UW2 within a folder so it was just putting UW2 in the panzer corps folder instead of doing it correctly. I feel dumb lol

You do not scare so more, because I already doubted that I passed this company with only two types of American fighters ))))Thunderhog wrote: ↑Wed Dec 10, 2025 6:34 pm Ahhhh, had a dumb moment, I had UW2 within a folder so it was just putting UW2 in the panzer corps folder instead of doing it correctly.

And such a variety of aviation is still only a dream ))) The arsenal of democracy is still modest ))))

Ok, that campaign was definitely different. Having to be on the backfoot pretty much the entire time in the US side. I assume its the same with the british side too. I absolutely can't wait for 1942!

The important thing is that you reach your destination in the end. If you take a wrong turn along the way, it may cost you some time, but you gain experience.

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
Have you already played through the entire campaign path? It really does go by in a flash here. Although I can only recommend taking your time with the game. Accompany it with films, documentaries, books, reports – put yourselves in the situation at that time.Thunderhog wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 7:49 pm Ok, that campaign was definitely different.

And yes, the campaign is filled with many defensive scenarios, in keeping with historical events. In the first six months, the Japanese continuously chased the Allies before them. The missions are portrayed in a relatively tame manner, otherwise
there would be desperate players throughout.
By the way, I am currently putting together the campaign tree for 1942. There will be predictable missions (Singapore, Midway, Torch) but also more exotic cases (PQ 17). However, it will take many months before the campaign is finished. But there are so many interesting and new projects on these pages that you will certainly not be bored.

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
Honestly, I loved it so much that I wanted to play through it all. I loved having the naval scenarios as a kind of tutorial to get the player ready for the much larger naval based scenarios that will possibly come up. The release also coincided with videos history youtube channels released about pearl harbor, midway, etc. Always good to pull up Drachinifel while playing the campaign. I really appreciate that you put in unique unit models for pretty much everything. Though I did notice some used the base models for certain ships but I assume that was intentional. The Hollywood scenario was the only one I didn't get a decisive victory on due to not understanding it. I put the transport at A but I assume you had to keep either the sub or a phantom unit alive.

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
I as well as you agonised with this problem until I flew these phantoms to their airfield )))) After firing they started working on the last page there are my screenshots and replay ))))) The same situation was in Mali where the Japanese horde of planes did not move to support their ground troops ) Until the end of the mission they never moved while I was defending and smashing their barges )Thunderhog wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 11:27 pm Honestly, I loved it so much that I wanted to play through it all.

The purpose of my experiments was to teach ships to switch on the air defence attack mode when they are attacked by aviation which can switch on the torpedo mode instead of conventional bombs ) Also visual scenery as aviation is on the ground in the resting mode and so on and so forth ) Well as viewing scenery with special effects )) I just like some chips from different mods such as artillery can shoot direct fire, cavalry and motorcyclists to fight in foot mode and so on and so forth ! And so I am waiting for your second chapter so that my core troops can continue their deadly journey through the missions already 1942 )

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
The tanker had to reach the ‘A’ field and all enemy units (except for a maximum of 1) had to be destroyed. This also includes sea mines, which are relatively easy to find.Thunderhog wrote: ↑Thu Dec 11, 2025 11:27 pm ...

I always fall back on the basic models for ships when, for example, a destroyer was involved in a battle for which I do not have a separate figure in the set for its destroyer class. The ship names used correspond historically correctly with the units used for existing ship classes. This takes quite a bit of time, but it does ensure a relatively high degree of accuracy.
I'm glad you enjoyed the campaign, though.
_Bondjamesbond: ‘The same situation was in Mali.’ I think you mean the ‘Kota Bharu’ scenario in Malaya. Since the Japanese did not have any aircraft carriers in the area at the time and the approach was from Indochina and Thailand, which are not shown on the map, the AI initially has no airfield available. In this case, the programme does not move flying units from their position and leaves them to rest until they run out of fuel. From your description, it seems that you have managed to protect the airfield near the city from Japanese access. The mission is actually designed so that the player retreats south and the Japanese then take possession of the airfield, thereby activating the enemy's air forces. However, this is not mandatory in the objectives. So I will slightly modify the objectives again or place a pseudo airfield in the Gulf of Siam to give the Japanese planes a place to take off. And all because Uzbek doesn't follow the script

Where it is possible not to retreat I never retreat only if the author does not create unbearable conditions )

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
Also, I've been replaying "The Other Way" mod and I want to know if you will be re-adding the quiz questions that gave prestige and sometimes rare units? I think those are really fun and gives cool little facts

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
Thank you, I had a lovely Christmas and a good New Year. At the moment, we have a lot of snow here in northern Germany and it's cold. Where is climate change when you need it?Thunderhog wrote: ↑Sat Jan 10, 2026 12:03 pm Also, I've been replaying "The Other Way" mod and I want to know if you will be re-adding the quiz questions that gave prestige and sometimes rare units?

For the second UW2 campaign, I have now completed 3 of the 36 planned scenarios. So it will still take some time.
The quiz questions in the second DAW campaign were a one-off experiment, as they require quite a bit of effort. But I'm glad you like them and see them in a positive light.

It's snowing here in Kosovo as well. I can't wait to go back home to the USA lol. Well, 3 out of 36 is better than 0 lol. I can't wait to try them out. Until then, I'll be playing "The Other Way" as well as some Panzer Corps 2

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
What is an American doing in the Balkans, which is not exactly a typical tourist destination like London, Paris or Rome? And the next question that immediately follows is, can one really be happy to return to the United States these days? By the way, it's now 4 out of 36 – the Marshall-Gilbert Raids have just been completed. It's great how much you learn about history while completing these missions.Thunderhog wrote: ↑Thu Jan 15, 2026 1:21 pm It's snowing here in Kosovo as well.

Re: UW2 - United States Armed Forces at Word War 2
I'm part of a NATO deployment to Kosovo. It was pretty fun, but I want to go home to my wife lol, regardless of all the stuff happening. Nice to hear you got the Marshall Gilberts raids. I think it's good to inject historical information into these missions to make it more interesting and also give context instead of "go here, do this, mission win"Sonja89_1 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 18, 2026 8:44 pmWhat is an American doing in the Balkans, which is not exactly a typical tourist destination like London, Paris or Rome?
