SeaMonkey Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 How about letting us know what the various research upgrade categories will be for the air units? I'm assuming CVs will still be advanced air, LR, and naval tech, but how about the CVLs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abukede Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 This will all be covered in the AAR/Walkthrough that will begin in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Sounds good, looking forward to it. We'll get some CTVs also I hope, especially the new units, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy131313 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I googled CTVs and the only thing I could find was another post by Sea Monkey: Hey Al, the other night we were playing the Gold BF release and I noticed my CVs taking a lot of damage from air attacks on KM CAs. Looking at the CTVs I'm noticing that they (KM vessels) start out with 2 air defense and then upgrade at 0.5 for each level of anti-air. Wouldn't it be more realistic to start naval vessels without any (0) value for AD and then move up 1 for each level of tech for anti-air. Remember at the beginning of WW2, no one really gave any credence to the fact that bombers were effective at destroying naval vessels as they turned out to be. Which was followed by this post: Whats a KM vessel? Ill look at it lol sorry to share but I found that funny as hell haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Come on guys, it's "not nice" to make fun of senior citizens, bad karma! And besides, you guys are supposed to be veterans, you're suppose to dwell within the depths of the game, the foundations of unit interaction, "The CTVs"!:eek: Look in your tiny, little baby printed manual, the one you need a magnifying glass to read, in the back, the spreadsheet, Combat Target Values!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abukede Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 HAHA... the answer to your question is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenLuftwaffe Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 You know what, abukede--you may be amused by someone asking a question about the release date--but guess what, we're paying customers. Sorry we're not as "in" as you to be beta-testing this, but you can take your humor and shove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Take it easy DL, go back and have another drink, make it a "double";), even though we are "playing" customers, feel lucky that we even have a chance to play a game the quality of SC. The good things in this life are worth waiting for and stress is a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 DrunkenLuftwaffe, Nobody is actually privy to the release date just yet as we are still finalizing... but hopefully soon enough if all goes well in our final test rounds over the next week or so. Keep in mind the new Global campaign has been accurately described as a monster and so getting it right takes some time. Also, Abukede is volunteering his time to do the AARs/Walkthroughs and we appreciate his efforts, as well as all of our Beta testers because quite honestly the game just would not be the same without them Hope this helps, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Amen to that, unless you've ever created a scenario, you cannot fathom the time necessary to test the various parameters to assure the campaign is balanced. I toast the betas for there contribution as time is the most valuable commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will95 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 When this is out....jesus, it looks so epic. Take your time guys, but be warned, I'm foaming for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenLuftwaffe Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Don't get me wrong, I'm not rushing it--I've betatested multiple games myself and I know what's involved, and I know what a game looks like when you rush it out. I was objecting to his attitude of "hahaha, yea, there's a date, but you don't know it and I do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 A Global WW2 game takes a very long time to get right. You always run into balancing problems because Germany has several paths to pursue. Two main issues in a global game, from my experience, are China and Russia. Balancing China so it doesn't get slaughtered early is tough. Balancing a full all out attack on the USSR from Germany and Japan for the win is another tight balancing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abukede Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Just for the record my Haha, yes comment was directed at sea monkey's use of CTvs. He had me stumped and I asked what he meant by that. I was saying Yes we will show them during the AAR/walk through. I have no idea when the game will be released. That is up to Hubert and Battlefront. A lot of work is going into it and if I had to guess we are several months away. Sorry to unintentionally offend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper's Blowtorch Division Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Dying patiently for the game to come out. This is the best WWII strategy game since Sid Meier's Crusade in Europe. If you can find an Atari or Commodore emulator it can be found and played. One cool thing about that game is it had a HUGE map and was real time before real time was defined. You would give an order to a division and it would move, attack, defend, go into reserve, etc.... based on the type of unit, experience, the terrain and the weather. You would never know for sure if your troops would get to a place quickly. For a game that came out in the early 80's it was ahead of its time. I would love to see the next generation of SC to be a modernized and advanced version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
