Beta Thoughts

[Thunderhog]

All in all the game seems pretty fun. Surprisingly had way more fun than Panzer Corps 1. Graphics of the maps and units are awesome and sound is good for what the game is. Only got a few crashes early on but they stopped happening. Campaigns really fun and got kind of challenging when I got to Kursk but then the 48 hours ran out. Really excited for the game to come out.

Only played a few missions but I did really enjoy the game.
Didn't encounter any issues at all.

Really like the new stuff like rebasing planes, forced march for infantry and the abilty to unload from transports at the end of your movement (if you didn't use all movement points). Also the different unit slot costs is a good addition.

Graphics are great and I really enjoyed the gameplay!

I have very mixed feelings after the Beta.

The option to zoom in on units is very nice, and I guess that missing function restore dead units, is only a minor bug.

I have more problems with the zone control, or however that is working here.
In PC1 and oob, you could easy see who was controlling what, and how to isolate units/towns.

In PC2 I cant see/don't understand how the area control is supposed to work?
I also don't understand what is triggering the "Isolated", when enough units are around it, I assume that "Isolated" is the new "cut of from supply" ?

Another "problem" is that I cant see the range of enemy artillery/canons.
Once again in PC1 and oob when clicking on an enemy unit, the range of the units is displayed, that seems to be removed/missing in PC2?

The new thing with aircraft returning to base, is a nice new feature.
But is it design or bug, that only one attack can be made on ground targets?
Previous the aircraft attacked the target, and you could after that move it 1 hex, and attack it again with another aircraft.

If I remember correctly, artillery have a red border outline which shows the hexes it can bombard (kinda similar to Civ VI). So that wasn't an issue for me atleast.

Under options you can turn on hex borders using a slider. That helps a lot I find with things like enemy Arty

About arty, you can always have opened info for range. And also, only in OBB you have arty range showed, in Panzer corps not.

With planes, that work in OBB, that they can attack and move, but in Panzer Corps there have always been only one attack on one unit in Panzer Corps.

I was "forced" to start PC1 to check my memory of it.
I would say that we are both correct about the planes

As you say there is only one attack/unit when flying to it.
But if the plane is already over the target, you can attack and move the plane, and after that attack it with a new plane

But the artillery part is correct, I have been playing to much oob..

Well, yeah, if plane is already on target you can attack it twice in PC1, but with new mechanic in PC2, you can only with one. Only if you have hero who can move freely until he have move points you can attack twice.

I really really like the game and the changes.

The only negative things i can find is:

-i miss secondary objectives, feelt like a achievment when you managed them.
- No post battle information, i miss information about what effect my victory had.
