Overwhelming AA fire from Arty?

[tbgilbert]

First time I thought I made a mistake, but now its happened twice. I attacked a Soviet 76.2 (Kiev) with JU 87b. And was shot down. JU at full strength, as was the M1939. No AA nearby, no fighters. In both cases the arty unit was adjacent to a town, with a full strength regular inf entrenched.

I have not been able to reproduce the effect though. I will try and run the scenario again tomorrow and see if I can get it to do it again.

No quite understanding the trains. Hard target? Seems like they would be soft targets. Can you tell me the logic behind that?

Any chance of implementing a sliding scale for the difficulty? Instead of picking 1 of 4 levels, make is so level 1 is easy, level 10 is impossible, and you can adjust the slide anywhere in between? Not a big thing.

I guess, up to now, I only have 3 real issues, and one minor.

1. Hard for me to tell core from other units on screen. The gold highlight is tough on my old eyes.
2. Some units are hard to see. Easy enough on the strategic map, but could use some more contrast on the tactical screen.
3. The weather icons are a bit hard for me to tell the difference. (Old eyes again.) If they could be larger or perhaps a bit more distinct that would be much better.

Minor issue, and its just my perception, but the ships seem kind of underpowered vs. aircraft.
OK, one more.. It would be nice to have the battle results popup. Some sort of "You wiped them all out, 3 v 10." Again, minor issue. I think I read some other post with a similar comment but better solution.

On the plus side!

1. Great animations, always engaging to watch the explosions/smoke.
2. Good, simple interface, easy to understand.
3. Movement mapping is a real plus.

Trying to get more playtime in, but its a busy week.

Regards!

I like the idea of the battle results popup - as a player preference.

When you see it happening again, hit L button to get detailed combat log, and send me a screenshot of the log to rudankort@rsdn.ru. Thx!
