bomber hero 1.21 (spoiler) bug

Post by Obadiah333 »

The recon JU tac. bomber you get at the start with the hero that isn't good still remains after getting approved for bombing squadron. I'm mid 1941 in the GCP and I just received him as a special unit with +9 attack. However, now I have 2 of him. The original recon version with -5 attack and now the new bomber version with +9 attack. 2 heroes with the same name, same plane, different abilities. Shouldn't the old recon version of the guy disappear when the new bomber version of him arrives in game? I ended up deleting the unit with the old recon version of him, but I thought it was him being improved and hence he would be 'replaced' by the better bomber version. Is this a bug on just my game or is it required to manually delete the old recon version?

1 tip: search the PzC Forum for "Rudel" (the Name of the StuKa hero). This has been discussed in depth ...

The 'old' unit can be deleted manually, and your game works normally, this is as intended. See for the full story: viewtopic.php?f=121&t=42654

I usually disband them all. I think all "special" heroes are overpowered and it's much funnier training unit from scratch.

Thanks. I couldn't remember the guys name when I was posting the question. I looked it up and read the posts. Thanks again.

I converted my initial Hans Rudel to a Bf110. With the minus attack modifiers I can't attack armor, and non armor attack is weak, but I have a super aerial recon unit. Not much offensive capability, but the ability to know where the enemy is awesome

I've done the same thing, where he is used as aerial recon in a 110(410 now in the later GCs), but I can sometimes count on him to finish off 1 or 2pt units in a pinch

I use Rudel 1 in nearly every scenario up to (and inluding) Minsk. From then on I don't use him anymore. Maybe it is useful continue using him (although two Rudel are somehow weird... ;)), for he may receive a second hero (maybe a useful one).

Right now in one of my campaigns I am actually starting Minsk and Rudel one has 296 experience and 297 kills. Maybe I continue using him. Unfortunately he will later on need an escort for his Ju 87 for with a Me 110 he won't get that kills needed for a second hero.

Has anyone ever received a second hero for Rudel 1?
