Well in later scenarios they are also useful for capping unprotected cities/airfields deep in the enemy territory. (Could also use Paratroopers for that, but at the East Coast landing you dont have any air transports)Horseman wrote:Yes I was talkign about recons...
In a different thread I've already mentioned this, the moving through zones of control/moving in stages does not seem like a worthwhile trade off to me...against the AI I'd far rather have the extra combat power of course when I up the difficulty level or start playing against a human opponent I might change my mind
8 RAD all the way. You need the movement. There are more recons available later and they are 8 RAD too (but no upgrade-discount -.-)oxford_guy wrote:BTW do people prefer the early 4 wheel recon or the 8 RAD one? I usually go for the former, as it has an intrinsic AA value and is available from the start, though the latter has slightly higher ground defense.
Actually there have been a few time i wished I had a recon to take a city then move on rather than leaving valuable combat troops a turn behind my main advance...luckily its rare enough that I'm not yet regretting my decision..the good news is I have an ongoing AAR of my 1st campaign so we'll all soon find out how bad a choice I've made!Korrigan wrote:Well in later scenarios they are also useful for capping unprotected cities/airfields deep in the enemy territory.

I also opted for the 4 wheeled recon, but for me it was more important to get the extra 2 movement points (even though it's wheeled vs all terrain).oxford_guy wrote:BTW do people prefer the early 4 wheel recon or the 8 RAD one?

I thought the 4 wheel had the same movement as the early 8 RAD, but will have to check...Korrigan wrote:Well in later scenarios they are also useful for capping unprotected cities/airfields deep in the enemy territory.

Or is it that the 8 RAD is "all terrain" whereas the 4 wheel has "wheeled movement" - I didn't notice that difference...oxford_guy wrote:I thought the 4 wheel had the same movement as the early 8 RAD, but will have to check...Korrigan wrote:Well in later scenarios they are also useful for capping unprotected cities/airfields deep in the enemy territory.

. The Sdkz has 2 more movement points compared to the early RAD. But the Sdkfz is wheeled, while the RAD is all terrain.Not the case at sea.TigerIII wrote:Problem is they can re-supply in one turn.Grotius wrote:I keep reading that strategic bombers are great for destroying fuel and ammo, but the game doesn't tell me when I succeed in doing this. I bomb a city, and if I'm lucky, I'll "neutralize" it, which is great. Otherwise, nothing much seems to happen. Does the game give us feedback on when we decrease enemy fuel/ammo stocks? If not, could it do so? Perhaps a little "-5 ammo/-4 fuel" text blurb (like the "-4" we see now in combat) when we bomb?
So you can keep bombing all you want, its gonna make little or no differense.
