To be fair, Grey's WiTE game glitched out after a patch and the Soviet AI stopped evacuating all of its industry. This allowed him to destroy like 2/3 of all Soviet tank production in the first year of the war.

It's kinda of a bummer, in uPen's excellent Soviet LP the German AI lost an army and then freaked out and ran home to germany crying like a baby.

Both were still fun all around though.

Too late, I'm already at it. Would have liked to post a link to it but the local moderator seems rather sensitive to such. Am I correct?

Only if you sign your name at the bottom of each page.

All i know about the pacific air war I learned from aces of the pacific. Which means I guess they crashed their planes a bunch because the people making missions made them longer than the aircraft range.

There once was a ship from Down Under,
Whose escorts did foolishly blunder.
The Japanese went
And found her and sent
The ship from Down Under down under.

Don't mean to take away grey's thunder but this was pretty great.

War in the East does not abstract the supplies: they're all still there down to the ton. They just don't have you manage their distribution directly because it's all on rails and roads.

WITE 2 is going to have WITW's logistics system.

Which will be amazing in my opinion.

I love the sign of confidence that most people are taking Allied ships.....

I don't know any ships and people had taken all the good Japanese ones straight away so I just googled the only remaining carrier in the game.

Can you gently caress around with land leaders and replace MaCarthur and such? Or is that aspect of Army stuff not modelled?

Why would seeing subs as dishonorable prevent them from developing good ASW? Limiting their own subs, sure, but there's no reason they wouldn't defend against dishonorable weapons.

"By leaving ourselves open to sub attacks and restricting our own sub operations, we'll claim the moral high ground! It'll be from the bottom of the sea, but it will be done honorably!"

"How could they be so stupid" is like the name of the official Japanese Military Autobiography 1930 - 1945, as far as I know.

i enjoy how WW2 wargame designers find new and fun ways to make Italy poo poo.

didn't WitE cap them at 50 morale or something?

how do other games deal with them?

Combat Mission Fortress Italy has them in tanks that can be penetrated by a machine gun.

A heavy machine gun, or any unit with a light squad support?

Yeah it has to be a 50 cal machine gun, but still. That's pretty funny in my opinion.

Also they're technically not tanks but Tankettes. :3:

Do HoI4 have a proper naval damage model now? I remember as long as 1 HP was left on a ship it could be fully repaired in earlier games.

The only thing you need to know about HOI4 is it is fun as hell especially MP if you have friends.

The most haunting story of "a rng deciding a ships fate irl" was the liberty ship SS John P. Gaines just breaking in two and sinking without warning. :staredog:

or alternatively a Zentradi space ship crash landed in Tokyo Bay. Finally we will have the technology to defeat the Americans!

I enjoy playing it. But I just ignore the air war completely and it's fun going "Rarrrr I'm general Patton pew pew pew pew" around Italy.

Then after I slap my dog because he has war fatigue. Coward.
