yeah, before i went to war in the Danzig event. my transport IC was all green, after i started the war and until i conquered Poland, and sub-sequentially when i had the "low Countries" event (excellent event by-the-way) happen and then until the fall of France in early june of 40... why does my transport IC go crazy into the red? I"m talking of being 200-300 below the limit and then going 800 to 1200 over limit within a day of hostilities.

Shouldn't the game be taking into effect the "buildup" of the forces, especially with dong the "front-line supplies" techs beforehand and doing the dispersed supply techs. I also make high infrastructure corridors within Germany just to make my supplies flow better during war.. kinda like making the "Autobahn".. I make 2 lines of provinces at least 130% infrastructure across Germany and tie those lines to the major resource provinces and those provinces all have 150% infrastructure.

Or is this the games way of showing that transport is jammed up and overloaded because of war materiel needing top priority through the transport hubs stuff's getting "all jammed up"?

Hello;

And you know also that diss. in occupied territories will influence directly in your TC ( because partisan activity). You can see how much diss. you have in your provinces by clicking on the icon below the mini-map.

So IC is much more realistic from a logistics point-of-view than most other HOI series games then huh?

I mean, the uber-increase in TC wsa wierd and unexpected, but when i won the country adn it went down that was nice. And after thinking about it all now. what ur saying makes a lot of sense. The TC would go crazy cause of the increase in supplies adn fuel needed by those armies in offensive mode. I also use those "offensive" boxes when I use units in battle, which that also puts more of a drain on my TC huh?

Very nice.. more realism logistically speaking :D
