The real pressure was in Africa Corps at Double Rommel, as each upgrade and new purchase was agonizingly deliberated over. There was some real experiments I played with in that playthrough. It was one of the most exciting and enjoyable playthroughs I have ever tried, and something I still reflect on from time to time.captainjack wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 7:16 pm It seems reasonable to buy later models for new units, as that's what's being produced. Then you get a better unit with no experience or hero, Not such a big deal early on, but more challenging ifrom 42 onwards.
It's interesting to see how long you can keep a unit going before you have to upgrade. Goose2 had a panzer 1b well into his double Rommel, and on a much easier setting I once kept Rondorf in a 4* Panzer 2G into 44 East before a lack of fuel at the wrong time ended that experiment
I kept a Pz3H for longer than they had it available for purchase, same for an Italian tank before I choose to upgrade to the better tanks needed.
