Edwin P. Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I wonder if any of the playtesters ever researched Ground Laying Radar - to improve the strength of their surface naval units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaMonkey Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 "I wonder if any of the playtesters ever researched Ground Laying Radar - to improve the strength of their surface naval units. " Now Edwin don't be trying to confuse the newbies here. As a matter of fact my GLR research resides on either side of my nose(nasal not naval) and of late its been getting a tad bit foggy from time to time. Now I did get a kick up a level using some of my PPMs (personal pocket money)for a couple of clear radar dishes and now when I'm laying on the ground the Moon, Stars and Sun are in total focus and I do feel a lot more secure in my position, even when I'm on one of my naval vessels(surfboards). So I conclude that yes indeed, Ground Laying Radar is a good investment. [ March 20, 2006, 06:58 PM: Message edited by: SeaMonkey ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 GLR? If you want some Mega FirePower on your Ships you must use that. The Germans had awesome FirePower on their Cruisers, made them formidable against the Royal Navy. I'd think it an essential tool. The Italians, Japanese and Russians will be naturally behind here. The advanced Nations in Radar are England, USA and Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin P. Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 I agree. Gun Laying Rader is essential for a strong navy, but in SC1 I never really had a reason to invest in it. I was wondering if the playtesters had any comments on its importance to either side in Sc2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Dozer Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 yeah i wondered about it to. what about having games were each side starts off with so many chits to put in were they want, may help to make people wan to put chts in to all kinds of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I have tried some naval strategies with GLR research. In one early game I had Italy investing in GLR from the start and managed to get up to L2 by war entry. And yes, the UK Royal Navy was sure surprised. But it was a pyrrhic victory since the research costs and naval losses prevented too much investment in other important areas. Good, bad, who knows? Players can try things out and see; that's the whole idea. GLR does improve shore bombardments, which the Allies will want in later years. Most countries will start campaigns with various tech levels and some chits invested. At-start chits are not unassigned. Players are free to cash them in at 50% value and reinvest in other areas of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Dozer Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 why do you have to destroy a chit, why not just move it to another place. arent they just scientists. so they work on a new project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashy Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Originally posted by Mr.Dozer: why do you have to destroy a chit, why not just move it to another place. arent they just scientists. so they work on a new project Research invested in say infrantry weapons is very much different than say long range air. So you will have a loss if you stop researching in one field. A 50% loss works good for the game. I have done one game of extensive GLR and sub research. I kicked the Allied navy cold but stopping D-Day is still difficult, you have to cover so much water and UKs air can spot you pretty bad. Honestly, I've yet to work out a sound naval strategy for the Axis, but historically that was close to impossible, then again, 1000s of players will be playing the game and someone just might figure one out.

Mr.Dozer Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 your right Blashy, 50 because of the new field and not a 100% because you still keep scientist. Rambo do you ever have anything good to say or what. the only german strategy for navy i think would be the sub idea. so you can sink mmps, they are the cheapest, hard to spot with air, they can dodge attacks, good attack. so the best plan i think. a battleship or cruiser i would think would just get sunk to easy for to much mmps. Also with those subs you might get the chance to stop john rambo from bothering people in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you insult Rambo? What has he ever done to you? Just because he once replied to you, you get goose bumbs and must play offended? Stop this charade...you wanna be his friend but have a hard time with him beeing such a well known person here. But I'll tell you what, just tell him how it is that you want to be a part of his team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
