Axis Operations - 1943 is coming soon

[mrgolf]

Very glad to hear that there will be more DLC's after 1943.

Greetings!

I think it's been posted somewhere in this thread that there will be no DLC after 1943, as things started to go downhill in 1944. Also, it would be difficult to accurately depict German troops, as there became an increasing number of divisions made up of a hodgepodge of troops.

As long as the game sells there will be DLCs and there is no reason to stop after 1943.

Or to go back on time. An Afrika Korps campaign with the gameplay mechanic of the Spanish Civil War would be sweet.
Small german force and lots of Italian auxiliaries.

No! No! No! NO AI controlled Italian forces. I want direct control, but a mechanism that forces a considerable precent of your core to be Italian. No all-star, all German core for historical reasons, and some of your units should be imported from AO40 if you wish.

I still like the allied AI in SCW. Ofc its noit perfect, and sometimes they behave quite stupid, but playing around those "weirdos", protecting and supporting them, and preventing them from burning your precious prestige is always a welcome boost in difficulty (for me)

but if i remember correctKerensky said something that Allied AI wont happen again in the way we saw it in SCW.

He did, since the feedback on that part was quite bad. Or, a lot of people said they don't like it, so they won't do it again later. Kind of the same thing. If you do something many thinks it's bad, then these voices will certainly shake those above, even if there are also a lot thinking it good.

I think we've totally earned a dev diary btw

One just came out, with a special second one to follow.

hi i read the Dev Diary and it was great hi do you thing that maybe you could do the same idea for the past DLCs as well as more of a side project until you finish Axis of Operation main DLC and make a releaece of the orther ones where you fix some of the bug and or story elements sshoush as operation sealions as a example that would be cool

Can we finally move from this project? Milking A Dead Cow will bring nothing to the players and developer. Let's give the players something new ones. Let's give them the Panzer Corps in the Pacific ... this really doesn't work anymore. Do it exactly like Panzer Corps 1 when this game just doesn't have that charm?

No sneak-peek streams?

And what exactly makes this project a "dead cow"?

If you don't like something, state that you don't like it. It's a bit weird to act as if your lack of interest somehow meant anything beyond you not being interested. This game not having the charm of Panzer Corps 1 is just your opinion, nothing more. And maybe, just maybe, you should let the developer decide what they are interested or not interested in doing, instead of projecting your own opinion onto them. If they weren't interested in this, they wouldn't be doing it.

This project is also significantly different from the Grand Campaign of PC1. The missions went in completely different directions, campaigns were included that weren't handled before (Spanish Civil War, French Saar-offensive, etc.), and now the course of the campaign even splits into two parts. Pretending that this is somehow not working, or just a rehash of a past campaign just doesn't fit to reality.

All that doesn't even include the fact that they can develop multiple things at the same time, and are in fact doing so. This may come as a surprise, but no one is forced to buy things he isn't interested in. One can perfectly well ignore the stuff one doesn't want, and just buy the bits one wants to have

Of course I heard ... and that's why I'm angry at these nonsensical DLCs until we see him.
