I wonder if AI will assign exp points historically. Like will Germany put points into better armor on tanks while Russia might put the points in reliability.

See it's a feature... I think my go to tactic will be building a billion infantry and one light armor. The infantry will make a huge front and the light armor will go through the spots the AI forgot to defend.

Just played a republican Spain game in ironman for the achievement, the game is good but I gotta say that the AI seems very easy to encircle on regular, but that might just be a product of the why the front line works in Spain. Also it's very silly that volunteer divisions can have commanders from their native country, also that Japan sends divisions to Spain.

Loopoo posted:What's the benefit to using mechanized units, and how should I employ them in my army makeup? Should I mix them with on-foot infantry, or just have a division made up only of vehicles? I noticed their attack stuff is weak as poo poo compared to foot soldiers, so I've never really employed them in my army. As I understand it, mech infantry is just harder motorized. I like to have it in a division by itself or with light tanks so I can utilize the speed advantage.

Gort posted:Anyone know if AA guns are worth it? I've never had trouble maintaining air superiority. Seriously, as the Soviets, I got air superiority over Berlin by early '41. If you are playing as a country that can field thousands of planes, so any of the great 8, AA is not worth ever researching.

Gort posted:I could see espionage being done well through events. Just every so often get a pop-up saying, "We think one of our spies has a good shot at stealing the blueprints for X technology" or "Our agent is ready to strike at the docks in Y" and you get the option to go ahead or not. Maybe have a few techs to give you better odds of success. There are already some events like this, like a decision to conduct a peacetime raid on Japanese Manchurian bases, would be cool to see more events like that and maybe some dynamic events that depend on unit positions or discovered techs.

Xerophyte posted:It's pretty true to life. 8 new portraits in the new patch. I also think they should add a mechanic to punish suicidal AI, like a certain number of losses causes a unity hit. The 1914 campaign for DH had a similar mechanic where you'd gain dissent for each million men lost or failure to take or hold land. This would also help in the end game where each major has a billion divisions and infinite manpower.

Autonomous Monster posted:I dropped about a dozen nukes on Japan and their NU doesn't seem to go lower than 40%. Makes me wonder if it's actually possible to get them to capitulate without Downfall, because I'm fairly certain they do not have 40% of their VPs outside the home islands. It is, I ended the Chinese civil war with just nukes. As for Japan, I've seen US players get them to surrender with 3 nukes.

Hammerstein posted:Anyone ever seen the AI do this ? Usually it tries to play it safe and is aware of flank protection, never saw it try a narrow push over a 1000 km front so far. And it did the same from the Japanese side. Yup, as I play more I'm finding myself rely less on the AI and just manually do it, the AI makes strange choices about where and when to attack.

GhostofJohnMuir posted:Is there a basic rule of thumb for calculating how many production lines you need to keep a certain number of standard divisions supplied through sustained fighting? Playing as America, I keep thinking I've got enough industry going to join the war, only to find my troops running out of bullets after a month or two, usually when they're just in the process of capturing Berlin. You're always going to be at a little bit of a deficit in infantry equipment if you are making units while fighting, but it shouldn't be disruptive enough be seriously noticeable, especially if you have some surplus older equipment. If it is that much of an issue you can set your berlin spearhead to "elite" which will give it supply priority over units garrisoning Idaho.

Also, I have found small destroyer only fleets are very efficient at ASW. If you otherwise have naval superiority send out 3-4 destroyers and a few wings of 50 naval bombers.
