Nick the Stick Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I’m playing through the Soviet campaign at the moment and an issue, that always existed, but has only just arisen is the relative lack of ammunition air defence units have. Shilkas burn through their ammunition rapidly and SAMs don’t last very long either. This has led to the frustrating experience of having platoons and companies ravaged by air before they can get into the fight. I’m interested in why anti air units were so lightly equipped ammunition wise? especially when both sides must have known the formidable air power they would have been coming up against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey_Fox Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) So those are the lowest-level air defense assets available. If those are engaging enemy aircraft, something has gone wrong in the several layers of the air defense network above them, which is not depicted in CM. One of the more unrealistic things about quick battles in CM is that every tank you pick is available on the field in good working order, and none of the aircraft you buy are shot down or forced to abort by opposing aircraft or theatre, division, or regimental air defense assets.
