    Allies or Conquest?

    in Strategic Command 1

    Yeah Spain is a real dilemma for me, if you take it and Vichy, Africa will get full production plus you can get the Italian fleet into the Atlantic. It also gives the Italian fleet a lot of xps but then you might not get any of the normal allies to join you. In my last game I only got Finland when my troops were at the gates of Lenningrad. :(

    Schutze, I'll try and answer your questions.

    Aircraft versus surface vessels: Early WWII surface vessels had very poor defences against aircraft. Even the Bismarck who had a very large Flak outfit was crippled by a lowly Fairey Swordfish. The Brits were far behind the Germans in flak direction/control/number and quality of AA weapons
    I can't see the question but I'm assuming that you think planes aren't that great against ships? As you have the demo try moving the French fleet up to bombard the germans in the low countries. The French fleet gets decimated by the land based bombers every time.

    Submarines versus surface vessels: Battleships and cruisers had nothing in the way of AS weapons. Is it a given that subs are taking damage from escorting destroyers?
    Yes I'd take that as give also.

    RAF raids on mainland Europe: Except for some harrassing attacks by fighter bomber units, the RAF discovered at the battle of Heligoland Bight that daylight raids on Europe were pure folly.
    I'm assuming again that you feel that the RAF is over performing in this game? I just can't see this as from my point of view Strat bombing is costing the Bristish more (in terms of production) that the Germans and I feel that is accurate.

    HQ's: I've yet to discover how these help, or how you can assign units to them. Help, please:)
    They are critical they boost readiness and supply for friendly units, but you are right they can't be assgned to friendly units, the units that they get are chosen by the computer :(

    The cost of Subs: How can a submarine with a crew of 45, weighing in at a few hundred tonnes cost almost half as much as a battleship?
    I think you have to think about the big picture, a sub counter isn't a sub it could represent 20-100 subs (Italy in 1940 had over 100 subs but only gets the one counter). While a battleship counter is 1-2 BB and few CL and a dozen DD. I see the costs as about right and well balanced in terms of game play.

    Retaining experience: I've tried rebuilding units slowly, a point at a time and see no different result to just filling them up.
    I've tried do that way too smile.gif It makes sense thou you have an experienced unit at half strength and strengthen it with green troops it doesn't mater if you strength in slowly or quickly unless you see combat your still going to have a unit of 50% vets and 50% greens.

    I hope that helps. ;)

    Well you asked for some Ideas on units so heres a couple. The PZL 11 was used by the poles and the upgun24 by a few other countries. For the axis you could have the Fait CR32 for spain or the Fokker DXXI in finnish markings mainly to keep CMV happy :D as for the other high end fighters I'd look to the Saabs for the allies.

    I can't think of any tanks other then the 7TP? from the poles and a captured T26 for the finns.

    I'm looking forward to your finished mod as I've been using it and adding national insignia for the different nations and force branches.

    Happy Moding

    ;)
