SSNEED Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 In 1944 the U.S. was producing more armaments than ALL of the AXIS and ALLIES combined. In SC the U.S. is definately backseat to the brits??? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In SC the U.S. is definately backseat to the brits??? :confused: About the only area that this is true is in warships (not an area easily converted IRL to making other weapons). In Field Arty and AT guns in 1944 the axis plus all the other allies made almost as much as the USA did in the entire war. In 1944 they made more a/c than the USA. In 1944 the USSR alone made more tanks/AFVs than the USA. If you have figures for other classes of weapons it might be interesting if you post them.

Bruce70 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 And the US production was shared across two theatres. Also MPPs are an abstraction that are supposed to take into account available manpower as well as production. This is not a perfect system but it seems to work pretty well.

Guest Mike Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 another advantage the Yanks have is that if you're patient you can work up their Industrial Tech quite easily - they don't have a lot of units to start so they don't need to constantly feed replacements for combat losses. That 180 can easily become a lot more, and the Yanks can get to build a lot fo things that others only dream about. The Ruskies have a huge front line to feed replacements into, and can often burn up 500 MPP's just in replacements a turn and STILL not be fully up to strength. The Poms have to look after their Homeland with ground units, repair their fleet, defend Africa adn Malta and Gibralter and lose MPP's from Atlantic and Mediteranian Subs. The Germans - well they have plenty to do!! lol Oddly I think the Italians are about the closest to the Americans - they have no close-by military threat to use up MPPs, and once their production gets up to 150 or more they become quite powerful.

Carl G. E. von Mannerheim Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 A well made point by Mike, Just keep saving those intitial mpp's to invest in some Industrial Tech's and before u know it america's got a lot of guys stormin across europe.

NarayanI pointed out that the US produced more warships (however the vast majority of them went to the pacific where they would have no impact on this game). The point was made that in 1944 the USA made more armaments than the axis, plus all the other allies - it is not correct. The total a/c production for the axis (whole war) was 114,763 - USSR 146,445 - UK 119,876 The USA produced 283,230 (I can extract the a/c figures for 44, they show the same sort of thing).
