New technology

[unmerged(36025)]

How do I know which technologies automatically enhance all applicable units (as opposed to ones that require an upgrade to be useful on already existing units)? Is this the case if the displayed technology is something in which no new unit is dispayed in the lower left corner of the technology screen (for instance, with tube launched rockets)?

If there is a "(u)" next to the tech effect, it means you'll need to upgrade your units to get the effect. If not, the effect is applied automaticlly.

But what does it mean when the technology says: (u) ground defence 0

 

[ComradeOm]

Is this CORE or vanilla?

That you need to upgrade the unit to increase its defence value by a value <1. It could be 0.5 for example, the interface just don't show decimals.

 

[Sir Humphrey]

Yeah, if it says 0, then it is like .20 or something. If there is a (u) next to it, then it must be upgraded.

C.O.R.E

Is it only machine techs like tanks and airplanes that you need to upgrade?
I didn't see any (u)s in the infantry teachs.

In CORE there are (u)s in quite a lot of tech trees as opposed to vanilla.

 

[ComradeOm]

In vanilla you only ever get the (u) with naval research, everything else is automatic.

CORE had a few inf techs that needed upgrades early on when I last played it: a recon battalion and an assault gun bn. Both could be researched before July 1936 and after that no further upgrades for inf were needed. But there are almost endless upgrades for motor/mech/pz and all naval and air units.
