[DrBob]

Ok im almost sure this is already ask (it's a long thread) but what are the recommended settings to play this mod? normal/normal?

And what are those when u want a grofaz challenge?

yes, normal/normal is the recommended settings, I don't play anything other then that, uber hard would be the hardest but we don't have that :rofl: so try hard and aggressive and see what happens. Let us know how it go's.

If it's not fired vichy event giving you south-east asia tou don't have any land connection with china-nanjing so they can only trade resources with you and that depends from settings in china-nanjing ai, but it works as far as i know.
When you'll have a land connection resources will be gived normally for a puppet (without trading, just gived).

Subs and Arma 1.2

Luxor - thankyou for a great mod - just got to start of 1940 in my first v1.0 game as Germany. I've lost 24 sub flotillas (50% starting forces) in the first 5 weeks and have sunk a single DD in exchange!!

I know from my last 0.94 game and the forum that ASW changed with the latest patch but just wondered if there are any changes within your mod which would explain why I'm getting hammered!?

ps am playing with a customise difficulty level giving me a 30% combat malus - but had this in my last game too and losses weren't nearly so high.

Thanks

I can't help if you modify files by yourself. Try playing a clean 1.0 Compendium and see what happens.

Fair enough - but I just modified the Very Easy settings in the difficulty file. Does picking one of the default difficulty settings fall within your definition of a 'clean 1.0 Compendium'?

thanks again

 

[Shundenko]

did you use larger submarine groups? the concensus seems to be that you need groups of the size of 12 and larger to be effective with these new ASW stats.

-the panzer divisions I get via event (the SS and the ones I got after annexing Czechoslovakia) show the image of a WW1 tank, the unit says 1939 tank, but their stats are way better than any tank I can build in 1939. I mean they're meant to be better than normal units (similar as in TRP, but there AFAIK higher level panzer units are used).


It's only a graphic error. Elite units are regular units with higher experience.

So is this graphic error fixable at all?

All my Ger 1939 panzer divisions show the 1918 graphic?

Can i just change some model numbers somewhere?

It will be fixed with future release. It's only a graphic error, nothing serious or urgent.

Wow, that is nice to see, thanks. I just hope they had to fight for it. What is the date? I'm still looking at Japan, I've reworked their tech research and will look at some other invasions for them. They should be even better on next release.

Yes, I've seen about the same thing happening, subs getting beat up. How many transports are you sinking? I've seen a decrease in that. I've had to change my tactics and do alot more night attacks.
I have changed tech research for UK and i think Cananda so they will research ASW and then start building them. You should see an increase in ASW destroyers. After getting that tech they can then research ASW Ops. and they will be better at killings subs so watch out. Subs are not the killers they once use to be. I would like to see 37 sub att increased to a 5. Their attack use to be a 7.

let us know how things go at regular settings.

Would it be possible to get the last Doomsday version of this mod from somewhere?

You know Armaggedon is only 5 dollars and has lots of great features.

I know. I'd just like to try the older version for comparative purposes, namely with aircraft.

Ok thanks. Do you want us to keep reporting any we find?

No need to report on pics, I know lot of them are still messy

Had a mix of x6 and x15. In last game found even a stack of 30 was getting too heavily defended convoy messages in 1940 ....
