Panzer Corps East - The struggle for Russia "Grand Strategy"

[flakfernrohr]

This tweak (Air ZOCs) I like ~ it's rather akin to CAPs. Seems a more realistic tool for a Corp Commander to employ.

Stupid questions: An enemy's aircraft exerts a ZOC that halts my plane before reaching the intended target:
[*]will this also trigger an automatic attack against my aircraft?
[*]if my aircraft has the recon trait found in Mongo's Mondo Mod, may it proceed if it has movement points left?
[*]what effect, if any, does the FOW have on your newest tweak? I'm guessing that when I fly near that previously unseen pesky Bolshevik pilot, I'm toast for completing my sortie and...

Well......................................naughtybalrog.......................there ARE cheat codes if you get too awfully frustrated.

[*]will this also trigger an automatic attack against my aircraft?

no...you just cant get thru...only when you planes path would go thru the hex occupied by the enemy plane you would get the ambush

[*]if my aircraft has the recon trait found in Mongo's Mondo Mod, may it proceed if it has movement points left?

You cant install Mongos mod into PzC East and in the mod there is only 2 planes with recon move trait and these are recon planes...BF-110 E3 and JU-88D..so it would not have a huge impact as their attack abilities are very limited...but instead you could pull back your valuable recon wing...its expensive

[*]what effect, if any, does the FOW have on your newest tweak?

no effect whatsoever, everything works as usual

Thnx my friend...I already included the top 3 slovak aces.. ..but the essay is pretty cool...need a romanian one too with a picture of Florian Budo..or either the guy was to shy to be photographed or he is a damn ghost

I couldn't find a picture, and I just looked through 'Rumanian Aces of World War 2' by Dénes Bernád, so this will be very hard, indeed .

If you need a picture of somebody else I might be able to help you. I have access to most of the Osprey Publishing series of books, incl. ‘Croation Aces of WW2’ and ‘Hungarian Aces of WW2’, 'Messerschmitt Bf-110 Zerstorer Aces Of WW2', you name it. Just let me now, I'll see what I can dig up, might save you some time.

Impressive mod, by the way.

Did anyone phone Stalin and the Kremlin about what is going to happen?

He wouldnt believe it anyway cause he is pretty focused in trying to prepare his own little mongol invasion....

yep...loved it...especially the comic like graphics...personally I would have liked some more RPG elements and a more interactive world and NPCs (it becomes somewhat repetitive after a while) but as a shooter the game was awesome....far better than RAGE or FEAR 3 (which is utter crap btw)

[VPaulus]

But... but, any game is better than Rage, Fear 3 or CoD256.

AB Mongo, there are quite a number of other modders on this forum, you included of course, that deserve accolades. Chris and some others stand alone with the talent and vision they show repeatedly, but there are a number and I think everyone inspires the next guy each time something gets added to the mods.

[airbornemongo101]

Thanks for the kind words flak

_____________________________UPDATE 01.10.2012____________________________

Determine and setting up the axis starting armys is a lot more tedious and timeconsuming than one might think...I thought
it to be a cakewalk only to find out its a bed of nails
I finally decided to go with the correct Corps and Divisional Number with Subnumbers on game start...
In the screen it seems effortless but its far more diffcult to achieve than it looks....that will become another character test and will
take a nice while...

Example here is the 200 Pz.38t(A) of the 7th Pz.Div. (each unit = 100 tanks) (2 units = 1 division)
Top is Corps: Panzergruppe 3
Middle: 1st Group/7.Panzer Division and 2nd Group/7.Panzer Division
Bottom: Pz.Regt. on Pz 38t(A)
