I'm hoping that there will be enough provinces that there'll be a fine anough 'granularity' so it'll look pretty much circular / conical in shape.
Continous.
Continuous.
i think he means the alpha misspells the words as "continous". It ought to be continuous.
Great work by the Paradox team!

i concur with this post... and would just like to add that i'm glad Paradox has a very wise policy/theme for HoI3 - detail if you want it, smooth options if you want to concentrate on something else.The best from HOI1 and HOI2, adding new stuff to boot. Kickass!
Thanks for the update!

I would also love to see reacive missions. Units sitting around waiting until a trigger is activated (like inbound planes). Such missions could also be very helpful in the pacific theater where you just could assign a range circle for your GM4 Betties and when a ship/sub/task force enters this zone and is spotted they automatically attack if the circumstances are right (range, time of day, enemy strength and things like that)
I really really hope that such units don't need to be in air all the time flying around in the assigned provinces hoping to catch something.
Having inspected the screenshot again, maybe my concerns are completly unnecessary.
I mean the "stance" setting, maybe it could mean that if there is an aggressive setting, there is also a defensiv/passive setting which reacts to enemy movements rather to fly all the time.

new logistical strike concept seems very fine
gaining air superiority will be more vital

Check out the "Supplied from Kassel" bit. I wonder if that means that there is actually a supply depot in Kassel? That would be quite different from what we know about the supply system so far (supply streams directed from capital and overseas depots only).
Isn't the circle option a bit superfluous? If I set the cone to width=3.1415 and angle=anything, won't I get the same result?
Kassel and Paderborn are quite near, so maybe these are 2 of 4 provinces in "1" region
The airbase they are at is Kassel. Ground units carry a certain amount of supplies with them, but air units can't take them in the air, so they are at the airbase?
Luftflotte IV is at Kassel but the Orders screen has Paderborn at the top. Why?
Oh yes, wow! Fantastic idea with the area selection. That is very fine!
How does the plane react on attacks? Do they lose only organization (like in DD) or strength and organisation?

The button with the green arrow? I think that would open up a unit hierarchy screen. This same button appeared on the ground unit interface. But the Corps also had a button next to it with a "XXXX+" to add the Corps that was selected to an Army. This unit has none, but that may be because Luftflotte is the highest level.
The game already reports the amounts of supplies carried by the unit, and you don't gain much by having the air units "leave" their supplies behind, since they are always associated with an airbase anyway.
Moreover, I don't see why the player would ever need to know (on the unit interface, as opposed to the supply map) the exact province where the supplies come from, as opposed to the depot from which they are being pushed.
The XXXX+ button could also make the Corps into an Army. No way to know unless we know whether you can attach divisions directly to Armies, and what that green button is really for. BTW, on a previous screenshot, the green button is actually greyed out, which suggests that it does not provide information, but rather performs some sort of action.
So far no development diary has disappointed me. Hope Pdox will continue with this trend.
If the same interface is used for naval units you would want to know their (supply) base. Luftflotte IV is an HQ unit for commanding the units below it. It is based at Kassel and gets it's supplies from Kassel. If you were to select one of the other units below it, say JG 3 'Udet' then, if it is not in it's base, you would see it is in Province A, but supplied from Kassel.
I think it is logical that air and naval bases could have supply stockpiles. Which means that you could capture the supplies if you capture the bases.
FYI the 400 'degree' compass is actually a 'grad' compass - I don't know who came up with the idea - I remember meeting up with a south african guy on an overland trip who had an old looking one of them.

edit - well, someone already pointed that out. Teach me not to read the whole post. Nuts.
I thought we were just point-and-clicking or shift-clicking the radius.
Perfect solution!
one request, though, could we have the metric system instead?
edit: saw the response on the other thread. I have no other requests then. Except only that Paradox starts accepting pre-orders already!
