One thing that worries me about HoI4 is that you need "naval supremacy" to conduct a naval invasion. In WW2 there were many invasions done with one side having an air force/navy. Like Guadalcanal where the IJN showed up. Or Port Moresby where the USN showed up. Etc... WIll we be able to launch invasions despite the enemy having a navy or do we have to dismantle their entire fleet before we can even invade small islands in the outer pacific.

Frosted Flake posted:It says they have 24 155mm guns, but that each regiment also has a battery, as well as AT, AA, infantry guns and mortars. Let me reiterate mortars, field guns, AT guns, AA guns, and infantry guns are not artillery Artillery specifically refers to actual artillery guns and nothing else. All of those other things either fall into: 1. Their own support company 2. Infantry research, just like HoI3 (infantry support tech) Phi230 fucked around with this message at 17:26 on May 23, 2016 |

Triggerhappypilot posted:I am concerned that the naval combat is a lot weaker than the land combat. While it's pretty clear that the granularity of combat is a lot bigger than games like War in the East, land combat still looks like it has great potential for maneuver warfare, whereas navy combat looks like it's just "ships gonna fight each other in the same place, better have more ships in one place than the other guy." Thats pretty much what naval combat is. At the level of abstraction (strategic level) we have thats the best you can do. You would have to make a tactical game to do good navies unless youre War In The Pacific

By the same logic why not just complain about having different tanks all together just have one tank that is shared between all factions because actually adding in real tanks is for nerds

Who the gently caress cares who's tanks are better when it should just be "who has the larger army"? Why can't I just spend 1. You can't fireball dresden because Paradox won't show bad things that happen in war 2. Careful what you wish for. Stellaris. Also your entire argument is flawed because the mana is called

Drone posted:No, its because it's illegal and frankly insensitive to depict it in Paradox's second-best market. Not that I care if its in the game or not, but why would it be illegal? And why would it be insensitive? Strategic bombing is already in the game. Firebombing IS strategic bombing. What do you think they're dropping and who do you think they're dropping them on. No more insensitive than playing as Germany. Every province you take, you know what goes on in during the "occupation." I'll give you a hint, its not just adding grey stripes everywhere.

The worst part is "assault guns" are functionally in the game. Just make a TD with high whatever relevant stat and low armor or whatever your heart desires.

To be fair, the 3d models in action look so cluttered and confusing I would rather have clean, easy to read counters than like 30 guys standing doing a gun firing animation and you don't know who is who. Like have you seen the videos of the combat up close? Its borderline impossible to figure out whats happening, especially with air combat. It looks like somebody vomiting in real time, there's so much poo poo thats impossible to discern between. Where's that gif of Germany invading Holland. That's specifically what I'm referring to.

Details are for nerds more than one generic infantry/tank/airplane per faction is for nerds every faction should be exactly the same in every way There should also be no terrain. Adding terrain to account for is so groggy. Terrain is for spergs. So get rid of terrain entirely. Who cares where they are fighting as long as they are fighting right? I don't care what temperature it is, or if there's mountains. God what nerds. Weather is out too. Phi230 fucked around with this message at 21:02 on May 26, 2016 |

dtkozl posted:The interesting thing about the sherman is it never got a reputation for burning easily among the russians because as it turns out it burned less frequently than the t34. Most russian designs had worse ammo storage than even american tanks due to their tight design and often had ammo just rolling around on the turret floor. No, because other armies didn't make their tanks as lovely as the Italians
