MTTODD37 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi, Is it worth investing research in Intelligence/production/infrastructure ? I only seem to research weapons etc and tend to ignore the above. Am I missing something in not doing so ? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will95 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I never invest in infrastructure, hell, I don't actually know what it does, just that other stuff is more important. Production is as useful as industrial in my humble opinion, particularly if you're playing the allies and need to mass produce units. Having just a couple of levels in Russian production will save you a lot of MPPs in the long run. As Allies, the US normally have such a high research cap that intelligence is quite worthwhile. It can really slow down German teching and give the Russians a leg up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 infrastructure affects how HQs act out of supply and the cost of operational movement. The level dictates what their isolated supply level is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hi I think that with Infrastructure, it might be worth it for the USA to invest in it early in the game as it reduces the cost of transporting units across the Atlantic, and also of operating air units to Europe. In theory, it would benefit the UK too to invest in this early in the war, but given the threats facing Britain in 1940-42, I doubt it would be a good idea. Germany, facing a war on two fronts, might benefit from it in the long run, but facing other demands and with more immediately pressing research needs, such as improving its tanks and aircraft, it may not be the best spend. That would really have to be decided depending on the situation. Intelligence is definitely a good one to invest in, as not only does it help your research, it will also provide you with the locations of various enemy units at times, and this can be especially useful during naval battles.

Clausewitz Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Bill101, I have always been confused about intelligence research advances. Clearly if UK gets Intell LV1 the added spotting helps UK and US movements but does the LV1 by UK help US intell advances and does it hurt all axis countries? Thanks.

Bill101 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi Clausewitz, we had a section on this in the WWI forum, and hopefully it will help answer your question: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=107356&page=6 Specifically, in your example it won't help US advances, and will act against all Axis research.
