Axis allies trade event

Post by BaronVonKrieg »

okay my question is next, i understand that you get some allied goodies for you commendation points for flavor reasons, but could we get something maybe more useful like that Hungarian armored scout car 39M Csaba and/or maybe early Italian self propelled guns Semovente M40 and M41 ?

It would require new unit models, and these are a bit more work. I think we will for sure see more such units as time goes by, but in limited number as it was so far, a few every single DLC.

Of course there's always the argument of using anther unit from the pool instead of a rather "standard" tank, so indeed that 39M Csaba that appears in Zagreb mission and that's one I am happy to agree on.

IIRC the italian quad-20mm SPAA is the overall best unit of that type you'll be able to get in a long time, and the L6/40 flametanks are also pretty good stuff.

The fact they just cost 2 core slots makes them amazing. That's great value for the amount of space in the core taken.

well the thing is the Semovente appeard alreeady in the base game so i dont think that its would be that much harder to code them in

I just got these rewards in my current playthrough. Yeah, I also love the Quadruplo. I'm a huge fan of the SdKfz 10/4 and the 7/1 units, for anti-air support, light anti-tank support, and cleaning up infantry that wander out of cover. The Quadruplo takes the best of those two units (movement of the 10/4, Rapid Fire 2x of the 7/1) and improves many of the other stats (hard attack, soft attack, air attack, ground defense, air defense). It's equal or better than each of those units and does a ton of work. This unit competes hard for my Field Repairs heroes.

I usually have the Panzer General trait, so I never knew the L6/40 Lf costs only 2 slots by default. That's definitely an efficient tank! I'm using the Flammpanzer II (from Industry Connections) in this campaign, but I'd definitely switch over to the L6/40 Lf if I didn't have Panzer General.

Interestingly, the L6/40 Lf costs only 2 core slots, but the L6/40 costs 3. That seems weird to me.

Ha, I missed that entirely. If so, I'd for sure like to see some of these at one point.

I think it's intentional to make the gifted supply more appealing to use, it would be too strange of a typo otherwise.
