First Impression of Panzer Corps Allies

[Mikecat0]

Enjoyed my initial play of the Beta. Developers asked if the update seemed to make the game easier or harder. My impression from a couple of plays is that it is now easier. If I play the allies, I would expect the scenarios to get more lopsided in 1944-45 when the allies historically had overwhelming production. But I actually wiped out the Germans in the Crete scenario and scored a "Triumph". I have never done that it in any Panzer Corps scenario I have ever played. I started to play the scenario of the Soviets against the Brits/US in 1945 this morning. The scenario is 18 turns long, but after 5 turns the Western allies have just a few air units left and they are all damaged heavily (one item in this scenario to note... at one point, I used several armored car units to capture a Western allied airfield. The flag changed from US to USSR, but the A-26 aircraft continued to hang over the airfied as if it was still owned by the US. A glitch there?). Playing the Russians I have captured or killed everything else. Again, I have never had that happen playing Panzer Corps before. Other observations... I have noticed the new units in the scenarios. I suppose that is part of the 1.20 upgrade. I haven't noticed the units themselves have made a big difference in gameplay in terms of making the game more onesided, but as I have noted above, the overall game seems easier now. I also notice that many of the scenarios can still only be played from the German side. Perhaps that is intentional in the Beta. One suggestion to consider. In campaigns and scenarios that involve naval vessels, I would like to be able to pull into a friendly port and get them refitted, repaired, and rearmed just like other units. Maybe they do this now and it just takes so long I can't see it happening, but without that capability, especially if one plays the Germans as of course we have been until now, the only thing you can do is fight the ships until they are sunk. This makes scenarios like invasion of Britain, invasion of the US etc exceedingly difficult. Patch 1.21?

Hello Mikecat0, welcome and I'm glad you are enjoying the beta, but please post all your feedback in the 'DLC Closed Beta' section of the forum. This 'Open beta' section is only used for archiving older closed betas that have been released.

Will do, and sorry. Didn't see the closed beta button the first time.

No problems, but it would be a shame if your contributions would go unnoticed by the game developers .

I'll move to close beta.
