can you attach a zipped savegame from the end of Vyazma to your forum post please.
I would like to run some tests for 1942 transition, both east and west.
Best with your actual core, which was started and continued on different Addon versions.
Unfortunately I won't be able to make the current broadcast time (2am UTC).
So I wish you a great hiking holiday and a good rest and recuperation away from the frontlines (Job, Family?, Streets of Moscow!
1) Right click on the savegame, in the right click menu select "Send to -> ZIP-compressed folder".
Looking at that list, I'll have to go with Brodrick for that predictiongoose_2 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 20, 2024 9:27 pm Oh, man this is such a great list. I love this lay out as it is quick and easy to look at and make assessments on what needs to be worked on and what I need to sideline
Thanks buddy.
Any bets on who will get first 2nd hero in 42, or will I need to wait until 43? Yikes!
. The "bonus SE" bridge pioneer with attack +3 hero is leading the kill counter with such a margin.goose_2 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 22, 2024 12:11 am I wish I would have seen this last part before I did my broadcast with Richard this morning, but we did use your great chart. Thanks so much for the layout, it was easy to read and something Richard and I loved having for a quick glance.
1 thing. O thought you talked about making other auxiliary countries infantry units as se units. Is that still something you are considering? Like Hungarian, or Romanian infantry?
You are welcome.
And I'm excited to watch your playthroughs.
I generally like the snowy and more defensive scenarios, they are a nice change from the usual vibe and gameplay.
,Yeah, even keeping the experience and strength level is expensive now, with lots of upgrades to do as well.

I really hope that Napoleon difficulty can be sustained until the end of 42.
Around that time the lack of softcap (with Addon) might well be enough to allow a continuation into 44 or even beyond.
The new 100% surrender reward with Addon instead of the unmodded 50% hopefully helps a bit.
Continuing the discussion from youtube here (since this old school forum is so much more reliable than the enshittified youtube):
Looking at the potential core upgrades in the later scenarios of 1942 (so beyond those in the list above), I will make some adjustments in terms of availability.
A) The early Tiger I and Tiger P will be available 1-2 months later. So the first Tiger (P) will only be available for the very last scenario of GC 1942 (Kotelnikovo/Tatsinskaya). This leaves many scenarios in between for some already outdated tanks, eg the Char B1 (its movement hero would make it a great canditate for Tiger P upgrade).
B) I will make the "Flammpanzer B2" converison of the Char B1 available (60 built). Even worse for everything else than the normal Char B1 bis, but at least useful against entrenched infantry and bunkers (eg Sevastopol?). And much better armored than the Flammpanzer II.
C) There was a plethora of self propelled arty conversions of captured equipment in 1942. While I could not yet find Panzer Corps graphics for the Char B1 conversion (16 built, compared to 12 for the Bison II), I did find a graphic from Flakfernrohr for the Lorraine Schlepper conversion (166 built!, compared to eg 38 for the Bison I).
D) Still not sure how to get the best use out of some of the heroes and what upgrade paths to use. Will investigate further. Maybe some "recon" Pz IV in 1944, to lean into the spotting heroes?
Imho you have enough spotting heroes already, including both of the Pz IV.goose_2 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 2:36 pm Quick Update:
I saw your post on youtube, I am ok with that reduction, which ever you decide, just not both. Thanks
I tried 2nd part of Vtebsk, and most went well, at least I would be ok with keeping what happened, but Dneos got his first hero....
Spotting
I kind of want to try again, thoughts?
Oh joy of joys. Char B awesomeness will be so nice. Both will make it a very versatile unit indeed.Locarnus wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 3:51 pmImho you have enough spotting heroes already, including both of the Pz IV.goose_2 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 2:36 pm Quick Update:

No need to add insult to injury, by accepting a spotting hero on an arty. I would definitely play that part again.
Oh, and btw, I found the Char to arty conversion graphic in the thread from Birgeria.
So the Char will have both Flamm and Arty conversion options in the next update (and both available for Kharkov 42.2 scenario, so make a save at end of Vitebsk).
!! GC West is not compatible with the Addon !!
I'm making some balancing changes to Kharkov 42.2.
It is a french gun used in AT role as a stop gap measure.
No need for both, the Germans only had a few at that point.
That fits well, since DoktorG won't be able to upgrade to StuG III F either and thus can stay a Panzer III J2 one scenario longer.
Good, there will be plenty of work for the long barrel Panzer IV, now that the StuG III will stay short barreled a bit longer.
Well, I know it is not the most prestige efficient way, but the Ju 87 and Hs 129 close support was reportedly decisive.
The italian Cannone 90/53 has a better transport available. That Breda TP 40 is quite a bit more mobile than the older TP 32.
played a major role, together with Marder and Pz IV F2.
