Maybe that's why they decided to stop Wargame for a bit and go back to Act of War. Good luck milsperging out about a futuristic C&C like RTS with stealth tanks and power armour.

So then I'm wondering what new tanks they'll actually give Scandinavia. I'm assuming Denmark and Norway will just get upgraded Leopards, but if Sweden only gets a single new Centurion then they'll be pretty hopeless tank wise. Maybe the cut Leo 1A6 for Germany can get somehow justified for Scandinavia? On a related note, the devs have posted a couple topics on the official forum detailing which units were just barely cut for each faction. Only W Ger and France so far, but still interesting.

Dezztroy posted:Scandinavia not getting any high-end tanks kinda stinks. I hope they'll be getting lots of different ATGM platforms, or they'll have problems fighting any kind of heavy armor. I started appreciating Canada's armour a lot more when I realised that not only do they have a cheap-ish Strv103/Challenger hybrid, but it doesn't even take up a tank slot  Personally, I wish they had treated the Chimera as a rule instead of an exception and added in even more wacky but sorta believable prototypes.

Part of me really wishes this game was more easily moddable with regards to adding new stuff like models, rather than just editing values. Four campaigns just ain't enough, and how drat cool would it be if folks could just mod in all those fun units that got cut from RD. However, another part of me believes that the idiots on the official forums would instead spend all their time arguing over whether tank A should get another half point of AP because of quality control practices changing at Bob's Tank Factory in June of 1987, instead of making fun new stuff...

Plus, isn't it almost impossible to counter-battery Monitors since splash doesn't really exist in water so you'd need a direct hit?

DatonKallandor posted:What do they mean by that? Because I know for a fact pre-patch ship guns would wildly miss when they rolled a miss and hit if they rolled a hit. They behaved just like any other direct fire gun. Except for looking really dumb, because they roll for each barrel individually so you'd get a dual barrel cannon firing a salvo of 3x2 shots and you'd get the misses exiting the barrel at almost 45 degrees from where they were pointing. Or one barrel shooting straight and one barrel firing wildly to the side. Yeah, it was especially silly when ships would be almost right next to each other and would fire half their shots way to the side of the enemy boat like the gunner was drunk or something.

Man, I've got to stop reading the official forums. What a bunch of fun vampires. Seriously, they'd throw all choice in the game away in the name of "authenticity". Specifically their drive to cut old units from the game because their poor little unsupported M1A1 died to a dozen T34s because their cold war wank fantasy demands only heavy tanks slugging it out with each other. How bad are they? A T34 spam is stopped by a single cluster bomber.

One other important thing is any bote marked as "Riverine" cannot be targeted by ASMs. And Hellfires actually do decent damage to larger boats. A roving swarm of STRBs is actually a serious threat to larger ships, especially on maps with islands you can scoot around for cover. They're just drat fast and probably way too hard to kill for their cost. But drat do I love those things. Especially on Naval only maps. They're golden for flanking around the main blob and attacking command ships holding zones. On the same subject of river botes, a lot of people miss the Zippo. Even without using the flame throwers, it's a durable platform with a good 40mm cannon, and also a pair of 20mm despite not having any listed on the unit card. They can be surprisingly useful against infantry and IFVs when advancing up a river. Mr Luxury Yacht fucked around with this message at 06:32 on May 24, 2014 |

I'm curious how the tank selection for the Scandinavians will work out in their DLC. Judging by what I've been reading on the forums, both the Strv 122 and barely past the drawing board Strv 2000 are out. So wouldn't that leave them as literally the only coalition without a heavy tank? I mean some new Leo 1s are cool and stuff, but not having any decent damage sinks could be pretty tough. Unless Eugen overhauls it all again with the accompanying patch for that DLC...

Dezztroy posted:It's been rumored that Denmark is getting some Italian 76mm SPAAG which will be the only SPAAG with more than 1 HE. It's never been in use by Denmark, so don't ask me why they're getting it but not a Strv 121/122. They've been pushing the line that the only reason anyone else got the Leo 2 was because the wall fell. Which doesn't explain why they couldn't get the wacky Strv 2000 which could have been produced if the wall didn't fall. Although I've always been of the mind even things like the Chimera should be more common if it means better gameplay and balance.

I think even Medium AIs get a decent income boost, at least it seems so in Conquest. And they spam like crazy. Bring tons of cluster bombers if you're facing the AI.

JeffersonClay posted:6 HE iglas are a lot better than 4HE. Akula maybe slightly better in A2A combat? I think it refers to the MIG 31/Tomcat. Increasing the aim time and decreasing the fire angle removes the ability to do the ol' orbits of doom where you just have them loiter in a circle lobbing missiles at things from out of range.

Yeah, the AI gets some serious income boosts, even on lower difficulties I think. I can't play Conquest against the AI because I always get overwhelmed by waaay more units than they should have early in the game. Or maybe I just suck. Also possible

I don't use the tanks in that tab though, you're right, but what kind of thing should I replace them with?

See to me what would make sense is something simple like having more units in a group = better morale for the group (because you can see your buddies or some command bonus thing or something), with the trade off being the more units in a group the easier they can be spotted (because it's a lot harder to hide fourty dudes than ten).

I'd put money on the SK one being the K9 Thunder or something close to that. Blue Dragon needs a modern Arty piece. At a loss for what the Canada or Aussie ones could be. Not that there isn't a bunch they both need, but there's not much historically to add. ..Unless we get the Chimera Mk.2

They've said the US one is a non-prototype, and is one of the ones they listed in that thread of dropped US units. Given that the PIP effectively takes the Patriot's role, I'd guess the Roland truck maybe? I'd say maybe the LOSAT, but that would have to be a proto wouldn't it? Seeing as it never actually hit service. The US could use a midranged, wheeled, radar SAM. Mr Luxury Yacht fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Aug 27, 2014 |
