Panzer Corps 2 Changing and saving Unit characteristics

Post by phair2 »

In Panzer Corps 2, I want to be able to change and save Unit Characteristics. I can change the number values, but I’m denied saving them and making the changes permanent.

Example:

Comparatively, The German Ju88a high speed bomber should have a much higher Naval Attack figure and the British Swordfish tactical bomber much lower. While the Swordfish was successfully used it was mostly due to the element of surprise (fog of war) (not showing on radar because it’s constructed of wood and canvas). It was easily shot down and was slow. On the other hand, the Ju88a carried the torpedo in the bomb bay inside the aircraft so suffered no drag or difficulty maneuvering or reduced speed or climb rate. The Ju88a had tremendous success as a torpedo bomber in the Black Sea against the Soviet Union. It could move at 396 mph (one of the fastest early war aircraft), difficult to track with an Anti-Aircraft gun, passed by the ship faster, and could drop it’s torpedo from higher altitude at higher speeds. The Swordfish has a Naval Attack number of 22 (ridiculously high, even biased) and the Ju88a has a Naval Attack number of 16. These numbers should be reversed based on actual documented performance of the aircraft in battle. Most of the success of the Swordfish was due to surprise and they were much easier to shoot down. One Ju88a could do the work of 6 Swordfish when you consider how much easier it is to shoot down a Swordfish.

Bottom Line: how do I change these Unit Naval Attack numbers and get them to save in the file? How do I remove “permission denied” so that I may adjust the Game Copy that I purchased so that I can alter things that I deem fit or necessary. The British Swordfish are tearing up the German Navy (already at a numerical disadvantage) in Norway while the German Ju88a’s moderately damage British ships in one turn. The Ju88a should sometimes be able to sink a ship in ONE TURN, at least sometimes, as happened in real life.

The game is installed as Admin.
You may have to save your changes as Admin. This is a Windows issue not a PzC2 issue.
There comes a time on every project when it is time to shoot the engineer and ship the damn thing.
