Intelligence Benefits in detail?

[Stug_Life]

Hello, I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find much info on the topic. So I have ask, what are the exact benefits of having 100% Intel on an opponents:
1. Army
2. Navy
3. Air force
4. What's the max benefit of intel/reconnaissance in a battle?
Thanks!

I find it pretty useful to see how many planes and ships the enemy has when trying to make those numbers go to zero, but that's really a minor thing. Other than that, I'm wondering this myself.

But that's intel. Recon on the other hand is great as the side with superior recon in a battle can respond to the other side's choice of tactics. So it's basically a passive overall statboost for your troops in effect. Not sure if there's any relationship between recon and intel though. That would be interesting.

Navy is useful for showing where their strike forces and convoys are. It also helps with the detection of ships I think.

Is there a way to get a branch of Intel like navy at almost 100%?
I appreciate the info

What is infiltrating the civil service and getting civil intelligence good for?

I think one thing is knowing what they are importing. Like in mp, like oh Germany is importing a lot of tungsten, must be going medium armor

Scout Planes and some Agency upgrades. The tooltips tell you the info at various levels. at 70%+ it's pretty substantial.

Army intel is what determines the "intel bonus" for land combat. I think it's a maximum of 15% and is based on the difference between the two sides. if you each have the same amount of army intel, then neither side gets the bonus.

Scout Planes over naval zones with enemy convoys travelling through.

If you get a critical success on the civilian infiltration you also get bonus political power. Send spies with infiltrator and seducer to increase the chances. It's a good source of PP for France and the USA before they remove their debuffs

Does this also work if you are scouting where their patrol missions are? Also how many scout planes do you need?

Someone pointed out in the defines that 50 scout planes were the maximum intel gain. However even a single scout plane will generate some intel.

Naval supremacy scales with naval intelligence. I think at worst it gets cut by 50% but that's extreme.

I think that's right but not the whole picture, more scout planes means faster intel gain. You can send more than 50 and the Intel gain still improves. The Intel from scout planes does cap out though, at which point 50 may be the balancing point that maintains your Intel.

Scout Planes - Some Analysis

Recently some players have asked how do scout planes work? There's very little information, and in the previous thread we made some educated guesses. I've run some tests to figure out how intel is generated, and some things I thought I knew I...
