Why do the 88mm flak cannons do 3 air damage and the 37mm flak cannons do 5? Weren't the 88s more powerful?
From reading the wikipedia, the
37mm flak 37 reached an effective ceiling of 4,800 m (15,700 ft) (anti-aircraft) while the
88mm flak 37 had 7,620 m (25,000 ft) effective ceiling and 11,900 m (39,000 ft) maximum ceiling.
The
88mm flak 41 had an effective ceiling of 11,300 meters (37,100 ft) and a maximum of 15,000 meters (49,000 ft).
I know that the 37mm was fully automatic and likely better against small aircraft, but the 88mm was semi-automatic and what was used on bombers and the ever higher flying aircraft.
As it stands now in Air values:
88mm Attack 3 / Defense 3
Mobelwagen 37mm (self-propelled) Attack 4 / Defense 5
Infantry 37mm Attack 5 / Defense 5
What do you think about changing the 88mm to have Attack 6 / Defense 3?
Is that too overpowered or keeping in line with saying it was more powerful than the smaller form of flak, just not as good against the fast moving close air support strikes?
Edit: The place marker file for Political events says that you hate political events and is otherwise blank. Some of the political events are needed to pull a country out of their faction. This could be very helpful to include.
I dropped the vanilla political events into my most recent game to test them while trying to role-play the spread of National Socialism by peace and spies. In it, by late 1940 France was well on their way toward the Axis with the PPF at the helm. This wouldn't happen without political events. If there is anything you would like me to do with the vanilla events, I will sit down and go through them to make you hate them less. Perhaps many of them should be purged. However, the game-state setting ones need to be considered for inclusion.
Edit2: I am now up to 1943, the Soviets declared war a year ago but there is neutral Poland between us. This has been a fun little canned naval hunt. I am still using only the units I started the game with. I have built some but not deployed them. I am purposely exploiting the threat to keep this war from starting as long as possible. Then it finally happens, National Socialist Britain abandons their Faction and asks Germany for an alliance! How is that for an example of why we need those political events?
