Air raid on cities

[KingDeiax]

Is there an option to do air raids on cities (I have not noticed it on live stream) rather focusing on factories. From Both BRI and NAZI they tried to destroy morale of the people by bombing the cites whit "fire" bombs that caused massive fires. This can cause some kind of less manpower from province similar to partisan activity.

However in case of Germans they failed to destroy the Londoners morale and wasted time and resources on cities rather than important military factories, the British managed to build up and air force while the German bombers where busy. So this can have up and downs.

no, no moral bombing, as it is essential mass murder against civlians wich is left out of the game by purpose from the devs. Same rules apply like POW camps and holocaust i think.

I am not too bothered that air raids on cities is not in, but your logic doesn;t seem right. Atomic bombs are in, and the entire game simulates the nasty business of war that causes much loss of life.

The holocaust is a strange comparison, as it was more or less a genocide driven by ideology, it had very little to do with the war itself, or any war strategy. The bombing of civilian targets is a strategy of war that was used.

But meh, I'm not very much bothered that it is not in. I do wonder which things affect national unity in HoI4, though.

maybe i wrote this wrong. I meant there will be no specific moral bombing action for your air wings. And i think it is rolled into strat bombing as in HoI3 so it should decrease national unity. Also atom bombs and the fall of aces reduces the unity. Don´t know what else. Maybe losing manpower and convoys. And the reference to the holocaust was just for what the devs stated from the begining what would be in the game and what not.

The devs made clear from day 1 that there wont be any terrorbombing, chemical warfare or POW stuff in the game and that there wont be any discussions on this forum about it as stated in the forum rules, which you should have read before posting in the first place. @Had a dad and @Secret Master certainly wont approve on this thread, since it violates forum rules.

NOTE: There will not be any gulags or deathcamps (including POW camps) to build in Hearts of Iron4, nor will there be the ability to simulate the Holocaust or systematic purges, so I ask you not to discuss these topics as they are not related to this game. Thank You. Threads bringing up will be closed without discussion.

NOTE: Strategic bombing in HoI4 will be abstracted and not allow you to terror bomb civilians specifically. Chemical weapons will also not be included in the game. Any threads that complain about this issue will be closed without discussion.

Thx for reply. But ita kinda strange that you can nuke cities, purge and enslave (in Stellaris), attack natives (EU IV).

I should have read the rules, but I'd expect that this would count under "complaing". I dont see the diffrance between nukeing and civilian boming apart from that nukes are far worse.

WW2 is still to recent in history so there are people who had relatives that took part in it. It's alot more sensitive subject then Sci Fi fiction 200 years in the future or crimes against natives 500 years ago.

Well how about a "sound"/alert(instead of pop-up) when your factories being bombed; air-raid-siren, time to build airdefences...

Well I was thinking it could be an alert of firsttime youre being bombed. Then one can always go back to pop-up or in msg window or whatever prefrence one has.

It seems I have been summoned to the thread.

Terror bombing of cities will not be in the game. It will also not be discussed on the forum. We will also not spend time comparing strategic bombing to nuclear bombing to terror bombing to the Holocaust.
