david12345 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Lets say I get a reasearch hit in Industrial Tech in WAW. Does this effect only my home country cities, or any city that I control across the map? thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyazinth von Strachwitz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 home country cities only.. this is why IT is important for the US and USSR.. and the price for Germany and Italy have been lowered in WaW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John DiFool the 2nd Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Germany can still get a significant boost tho. They have IIRC 110 native MPPs (after Warsaw falls), and with a 10% boost per IT level that can mean 55 extra MPPs at level 5, after an investment of 375 MPPs (assumes 5 chits invested over the entire game), which means the extra MPPs pay for themselves in exactly 7 turns. IOW you'll be sacrificing some MPPs early for a solid bonus later, which considering the multi front action which will be going on from '42 on is probably a wise move unless you want to shoot your wad early for some quick knockout somewhere (perhaps Spain).

Liam Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 It's an 'okay' investment if it hits. Though the Germans cannot afford it... The chance of not hitting the IT is too expensive I'll put a spare chit in after I've got my Minors down but in a competitive game your dead, the MPPs could go better elsewhere, Diplo-Tech-a new Panzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arado234 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I hotseated it and I found that it does pay off for America,Russia,Gemany.Italy was an maybe.But like Liam said with Germany or(IMHO)any country but America(I think for America its vital to invest in Ind.and Prod.tech)you are running the risk of not having enough troops with the proper upgrades if you go allout with Ind.tech.Britain I found wasnt worth it.

You can go awhile without some tech, but no tech will really really hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 For UK IT - does it only increase MPP for the British Isles or does it also increase Canada and Egypt? What about convoys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scook Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 IT will only affect the factories in the home country that are connected to the capital by land. So, only the home island gets the bump, unless the capital is in Egypt, then it will be the factories in the desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
