Dev Diary #16 - Götterdämmerung 1944 AAR - Discussion

[MR2]

Thank you.

I think losses are for the scenario. Did I type Baltic's? Oops!

I'll do a Political map for you. I agree with the commas for large figures too.

I do not have any more pull with the Dev's than anyone else around here. They are fans like us, they read the Forums, and they make their own decisions.

Thanks! And good to read that you agree on the "large figures issue"...

Nice AAR, hopefully AI won't always send it's navy on missions far away their own theatre which ain't their focus like Finnish navy on English channel and Italians on Pacific.

 

[Amallric]

Those Italians are a strange occurence indeed. Not only they shouldn't be able to move that far due to the new range limitation, but HOW THE F*CK did they get out of the closed down Mediterranean?

Maybe the Japanese gave a transport to the Italians as an expeditionary force? I agree that this certainly is not encouraging. I don't think anyone wants to see a "Finland invades Japan" in this game.

To MR2: Have you considered making a few bump posts before you post the next one?

It takes 20 posts before a thread goes on a new page and right now it takes my computer something like 1 minute to load all the pictures. Once this thing gets to post 19, it's going to take 2 minutes to load up the webpage.

You know... Mexico is part of the Allies.

The Italians were annexed by the British or Americans in the beginning of the scenario... so it must have been a Mexican transport.

:rofl:

Yeah I saw that pretty much all of the Americas are Allies

 

[Amallric]

Which is even worse. If there is ONE thing I don't want to see in this game, it would be Mexican amphibious assaults on Japanese mainland.

I'm playing a '44 scenario in plain old HoI2 1.3a (Not Doomsday nor Arma) to look at the new TT and most of S. America has joined the Allies, heck Brazil has captured the Crete VP

Don't think this is anything new in the '44 scenario for AoD

 

[Balesir]

Well, in 1944 a fair number of South American countries did loin the Allies. The Brazilian navy, specifically, did a fair amount of patrolling in the Atlantic, freeing up more modern US and British (RN) ships to be transferred to the Pacific theatre.

That's sort of the point, though. The South American countries joined the allies and patrolled the Atlantic against a practically nonexistent enemy navy. Mexican transports straying into the West Pacific is not the same thing. Just because Brazil sent a division to fight under Allied command after the initial landings doesn't mean the Brazil AI should be launching an amphibious landing in Thailand.

Why shouldn't the South American countries be able to use their allies naval bases? If minors join the war they might as well do something.

shouldnt the italian socialist republic be independant in the 1944 scenario i have allways thouht that was strange that they arent there.

@MR2 "Remember that when you acquire territory, you will gain IC through rebuilding, but more often, your overall Infra will go down – that is if you start off with a high Infra country like Germany. In this case, the Russians have much to gain."
IIRC the devs said that overall infra level would no longer have any influence on the supply status of a unit. Instead for each unit a supply path would be determined. So, what´s correct?

I dont get the qoute, but regarding the question of supply status, or ESE:
Its more or less both.

Unit supply status is determined by the surroundings, distance and trace back to nearest supply depot and distance and trace to capital, Distance and size of any heabours usable for supplying the troop in question and global TC situation.

Thanks for the information. The quote´s from the AAR. Don´t know how to qoute from another thread.

Just click the small "quote" window in the bottom right part at the end of the post you're interested in, et voila.

Maybe it'd be better, if you click on the sign directly besides the quote, showing the white page (multi-quote), which allows you then to change the thread and reply to the message you're interested in. You can multi-quote from (nearly) as much threads as you want. All quotes will then show up in your response. Ofc you can always hit quote and cut and paste this quote into your reply.

 

[unmerged(138184)]

Much of this looks good

But I would chime in on the Mexican transport issue to the effect that I would hope the ai has been improved in terms of fleet composition and does not any longer send 1-3 unescorted transports wandering around to get smashed by the first enemy unit they run into.

ALso I hope the workaround to the unlimited naval range issue functions well. I for one found Lothos' ai coding from one of the later hoi2 patches to be a pretty decent fix (told ai to ignore sea zones outside areas of national interest - prevented the preposterous outcomes that abound in hoi3)

Thanks again, guys. Never bothered to use this multi-quote button, but I will do now .
