Zandu is 100% wrong in everything he said I have posted reource numbers abov Zandu just scroll The axis had more slodiers avalible to them from August 1941 to aug 1943 The axis had more natural resources and more labour then the Soviets throught the whole war look at the numbers that I posted just scroll up and look Lend lease didnt kick in for real untill end of 1943 and still USSR + lend lease was still less then Axis natural resource production BUT the Soviets chose to build low cost items and the axis chose to build high cost items Total Axis losses on the eastern front 5.5 million Total Soviet Losses 8.6 million Everything Zandu said is wrong No body here seems to know any numbers I have posted all the numbers Yes the Axis had a great supply of labour I even gave the source just look! This is the problem when history is told by losers they can make anything up Fact is fact the Axis had a greater supply of labour the the Soviets but the Soviets were able to build more because they chose to build low cost equipment and the axis chose to build high cost equipment And So what that the US had a great supply of everything how much of it reached The eastern front-- Just a small fraction Fact is fact the Axis had 5 times more natural resources then the Soviets The Axis outnumbered the Soviets Untill 1943 Fact is fact numbers are numbers [ September 26, 2006, 03:49 PM: Message edited by: TheHumanMage ]

Because they made alot research into ww2 and know all the numbers

Well if you dont change it after seeing the numbers then you are no better then any other company and you are commiting historical fraud. And since I cant change time I will just have to work from the place I am at. But a like the nick sunshine

NO I dont talk with anyone where did you get that from? I am telling you to talk with them This is Battlefront not "pokemon I choose you inc" a levle of historical accuracy is required And I can tell you that the VVS during 42-43 was smaller then the Luftwaffe and during 43-44 over Leningrad most likely was also smaller

I am looking into the exact numbers of Luftwaffe VS VVS and will report what I find here So far I know to 100% that untill late 1943 the Luftwaffe hade more planes the the Soviets at any given time. I will look up when the turn happened and if possible post numbers of avalible air craft each month during the war for both sides.

By this time, the Soviet pilots were getting more numerous and much better in combat. The Germans on the other hand while still excellent were becoming fatigued and were having much more difficulty in replacing quality pilots and aircraft. Talk with the people who made CMBB it is wrong 1 The Luftwaffe still had many more planes then the Red Airforce and NO the Luftwaffe did not have any problems during winter 42-43 to replace men and material 2 Talk with the people who made CMBB

I think you all are drawing the wrong conclusions So I will say it as simple as possible 1 Talk with the people who made CMBB they can tell if when the Soviet Airforce became bigger then the Luftwaffe, this happened in late 43 early 44 when the camapign is going BUT it is not certain if the Red Air Force had more planes then the Luftwaffe over Leningrad and more specificly more fighters. Lots attention was made towards the tank destroyer IL-2 later IL-10. 2 German aircraft in 1943-44 were indeed designed for any weather talk with the people who made CMBB And no the Soviets were not I say again Were not numerous. I can give many numbers that indicate that things were in the german favour untill 1943-44 as I have proven the Germans had many times more resources and Labour. I can excpect a historic inaccuracy from any game maker except Battlefront since Battlefront is the mark that all other makers should reach for. And No I am not a troll Just pick up the phone and call the people who made research for CMBB if you are indeed working for battlefront this should be no problem so call them today! And say hello when did the red airforce become bigger then the luftwaffe And when did the Red Airforce have more fighters And how many fighters were over Leningrad 1943-44 of both sides, dont forget to factor in Hungarian, Romanian and Italian planes as well. Since Battlefront is the mark you should know better! And I am sorry if I sound a bit harsh but as I said Battlefront is the mark, so no mistakes should be allowed. Tal with teh people who made the research for CMBB they know, they have the numbers.

Ok back to basic 1 the Germans had more Resources First number is German second number is Soviet numbers are from Richard Overy's The Dictators Coal (million tonnes) 1941 315.5 - 151.4 1942 317.9 - 75.5 1943 340.4 - 93.1 1944 347.6 - 121.5 Steel (million tonnes) 1941 28.2 - 17.9 1942 28.7 - 8.1 1943 30.6 - 8.5 1944 25.8 - 10.9 Aluminium (thousand tonnes) 1941 233.6 - – 1942 264.0 - 51.7 1943 250.0 - 62.3 1944 245.3 - 82.7 Labour 1941 16,400,000 - 11,000,000 1942 16,200,000 - 7,250,000 1943 16,800,000 - 7,700,000 1944 18,000,000 - 9,000,000 2 The Soviets were not numerous this is a myth the Axis had more Soldiers then the Soviets untill 1943 ok the campaign is in 1943 but I am just pointing this out 3 The axis had throughout the whole war a higher number of labour 2 times more throughout the whole war And to asume that after 2.5 years no upgrades what so ever were made to any equipment is just wrong And on a side note the Luftwaffe was bigger then the Red air force during 1941 and during 1942 and during 1943 am not certain when the numbers changed hand and am not certain if the Luftwaffe had more planes in the air during Leningrad 1943-44 But I know that it did during Leningrad 42-43 But As I said before and have proven with numbers the Germans chose to build high cost items the Soviets did not just look at the numbers they speak their own language The only time that winter played a role was during 1941 but as I have linked above it has been proven that Hitler lost before the winter. And I did see that you didnt respond to the american study perhaps you are trying to block it out of your mind and pretend it does not exsist As I have said history has been written by the losers who try to blame everything for their loss but fact is fact the winter affected both sides exactly the same since they were both in the same place during the same time. And if you do not learn anything after 2.5 years of war the yes you are a retard Talk with the people who made CMBB they know [ September 23, 2006, 04:48 PM: Message edited by: TheHumanMage ]

Yes it had nothing to do with them retreating in 1943-1944 Absolutely **** during 1943-44, nada during 1943-44 They were crushed in kursk during july 1943 this was followed up by many battles such as Operation Polkovodets Rumyantsev, Operation Kutuzov the battle of Dneper all of which happened during the summer They had lost by 1943 so winter had **** to do with it since they lost during the summer This myth about winter has been so over played and in 2006 one would expect some people to know better The people who made CMBB know what happened The Germans knew that it was going to be cold during winter so it played no part what so ever during 1943-44 since everyone everywhere who was fighting knew what snow was. But the myth has ofcurse been blown out of proportion since history has been told by the losers for so long who needed to explain their loss. Or to put it more elegantly Our view of the war in the east derives from the German experiences of 1941 and 1942, when blitzkrieg exploited the benefits of surprise against a desperate and crudely fashioned Soviet defense. It is the view of a Guderian, a Mellenthin, a Balck, and a Manstein, all heroes of Western military history, but heroes whose operational and tactical successes partially blinded them to strategic realities. By 1943-44, their "glorious" experiences had ceased. As their operational feats dried up after 1942, the Germans had to settle for tactical victories set against a background of strategic disasters. Yet the views of the 1941 conquerors, their early impressions generalized to characterize the nature of the entire war in the east, remain the accepted views. The successors to these men, the Schoeners, the Heinricis, the defenders of 1944 and 1945, those who presided over impending disaster, wrote no memoirs of widespread notoriety, for their experiences were neither memorable nor glorious. Their impressions and those of countless field grade officers who faced the realities of 1944-45 are all but lost. And the only time it did play a part was during the winter of 41-42 but this american study proves that the germans had lost before the winter started http://www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/Chew/CHEW.asp Hitler's plans also miscarried before the onset of severe winter weather; he was so confident of a lightning victory that he did not prepare for even the possibility of winter warfare in Russia. Yet his eastern army suffered more than 734,000 casualties (about 23 percent of its average strength of 3,200,000 troops) during the first five months of the invasion, and on 27 November 1941, General Eduard Wagner, the Quartermaster General of the German Army, reported that "We are at the end of our resources in both personnel and materiel. We are about to be confronted with the dangers of deep winter Talk with the people who made CMBB they know unlike you how much this winter bull**** has been blown out of proportion And to say that planes were not designed to be able to handle snow after 2.5 years of combat is just wrong. What kind of idiot dosent learn anything after 2.5 years of war? The Germans built the Panther tank after they had been tought by the Soviets that sloped armour was better then straight armour. Lots of text here, I bet to much for you to read

Your approach to the matter is all wrong No where does it say that the Germans had 4-5 times more natural resources then the Soviets but the Germans chose to build high cost items and the Soviets chose to build low cost items. And that the Germans had 2-3 times numerous labour force. So yes the Soviets had more planes but that was because they chose to build em cheap and cheerful and the germans chose to build expensive ones. The war had gone on for 2.5 years and if you dont understand that after 2.5 years that you need perhaps maybe just maybe just maybe to change your design then you are a retard. Secondly all Germans except the really naiv ones knew that the war was lost after kursk which happened during the summer what are you going to say there the planes were never designed for summer conditions as well? So the intro is just nazi propaganda on how the brave germans fought the evil russians to protect germany and western civilization from the evil russians who attacked germany in 1941 And no where does it say that the Germans had 4-5 times more natural resources then the Soviets but the Germans choose to build high cost items and the Soviets choose to build low cost items. Read Richard Overy, "the dicatators" to see the exact numbers with your own eyes.

Kill him Andy! He cant even spell KV Red Army studies for the Win!

"but also the unforgiving winter with equipment that wasn't designed for such harsh conditions." If you dont know that it is going to snow in The Soviet Union during winter after 3 years of war then you are a Retard So every year it came as a suprise; - OOOO what is that white stuff - I dont know - Lets not make any improvments - Yeah Yeah, sounds good If you dont know that it is going to snow in The Soviet Union during winter after 3 years of war then you are a Retard

With the siege lifted in January 1944, the Soviets were now on the offensive. The retreating Germans not only had to deal with the crushing numbers the Soviets were throwing at them, but also the unforgiving winter with equipment that wasn't designed for such harsh conditions. If you dont know that it is going to snow in The soviet Union during winter after 3 years of war then you are a Retard And the intro makes it sound that all combat only happened during the winter and nothing happened during the spring, summer and fall. What a pile of ****

Is strategic command 2 a game on its own or an expansion to strategic command 1? Can I just get strategic command 2 or is it required to have strategic command 1?

Yupp a tiger wasent half as good or unique as the kvs By that time tactics and equipment had changed so a tiger in 1943 can not take on 40 or so Soviet tanks of any combination But a kv tank during 1941 can take on 40 or so tanks of any combination of Axis tanks.

When I play well until like end of 42 but lets stick to early Barbarossa (first 3 months) I see that NO tank can even scratch it I often play 1-2 kv vs lots of enemy tanks computers choice But ofcurse if there are different types of troops then yes their is a chans that infantry might grenade it or that artilery might destroy it BUT! Point for point isnt it just to good? It is (atleast during Barbarossa) Mike Tyson vs a Senegalese homeless beggar

Play during 1941 and use kv tanks and see if you can lose

What do you use them for? They just explode And vs infantry they dont do any damage Better just to buy a machine gun So what to do with the T-26, how do I use them?

Ahh but just lose the machine guns

T-28 isnt multi turreted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-28

Are there any T-28s in the game? And if so what year/what month/what area?

It worked

How do I change my Graphical Options? When I first installed the Game there was an option of chooseing Graphical options and now I want to change them and more specifically the Herz option I want to take it down from 85 to 60 so how do I change it because I cant find the options button
