Dev Diary #14 – United Kingdom Beta AAR –December 11, 2009

[Merrick Chance']

So I noticed that India is a seperate nation, is it playable as a satellite?

Edit: The IC days for a level 4 battleship is now 4080. That is quite a drop off from the 7300 in Armageddon. Aircraftcarrier costs have not changed.

I hope you meant "408" and "730" - 20 years to build a BB seems a bit too much to me . Or is it maybe IC multiplied per days of production...? Then it would fit.

IC multiplied by days.

he said IC-days, IC multiplied by production time ..

India has be released before you can play it.

 

[Merrick Chance']

India has be released before you can play it.

Why, then, did you release it?

 

[x260bm]

Why, then, did you release it?

It is not released. The UK can not release it until after 1945 because it has cores on India.

Has there been any changes to the land doctrines? I assume that there hasn't been, since there are no screenshots of them. Or maybe you are just trying to build suspense?

There is a new tech but it is at the end of the tree.

I have been told to roleplay as much as possible. That is what the United Kingdom built historically.

Whoa! Does a BB cost the same IC/day and less days, or does it still take the same length of time and cost less IC? Or is it both...?

both

 

[unmerged(129995)]

both

Hmm. For BB-IV (from HoI2 Wiki) it's 730 days for 10 IC, so now it's about 550 days for 8~ IC?

How much did Ship Assembly Line take off the build time? It was something massive, like 200 days or something...

Have you reduced oil usage for aircraft on the air superiority mission if radar is present to try to simulate scrambling versus standing patrols?

 

[Kirth Gersen]

I love the province bombing option. Solved an ongoing annoyance. Thanks!

It seems that France is spamming militia.
Can't wait to see the results of Fall Gelb.
Will you send a BEF?

In Arsenal of Democracy radars are actually useful. Not only do the give combat bonus, but they actually direct you fighters on air superiority missions to enemy aircraft. No longer will your fighters be wandering aimlessly while the enemy is bombing you.

Fantastic.

Do radar installations help to find enemy ships as well? I think this would make sense.

Specifically, could they detect CVs and direct planes accordingly? That would make December 7 a much happier day for the US.
