Re: Jamor Novskov in the Game Guide

Seems like a pretty trashy publication:
https://archive.org/download/1946-06IntelligenceBulletin/1946-06IntelligenceBulletin.pdf
No bibliography, footnotes, or even authorship. Just a fan fiction...

Re: German vs Soviet Strategy

Especially effective in urban battles. My first game after so many years was a German assault on a Polish city. Timed the Do17 swarm just right and destroyed the best positions before the objectives.

Re: Abrams

I believe we're two steps behind Russia's level of sophisticated air defence. Our best development so far is the AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel. We just don't have missile boosters anywhere near the S-300+. New...

Re: Abrams

My actual suggestion for US vehicles though is the new M-SHORAD. Stryker chassis with Avenger type turret firing Stingers or Hellfires. Has 30mm auto-cannon like the Dragoon variant and a 7.62mm MG....

Re: Abrams

I imagined that where it states the soldiers are wielding M16s that it was supposed to denote the semi-automatic A2 variant. The US Army standardized rifle for the last 20 years has been the M4...

Re: Abrams

ERA has the neat feature of being disabled by a 9mm round within 50cm sq. doppler dish target surface.
If anything is missing from the modern US OOB it's M4s. All the guys are packing pre-Gulf War...

Re: Flak issue

I'm saying even a light mortar team loaded down with a reasonable amount will only have a few minutes of sustained fire capability. 1kg bomb * 20 rnds * 3 men / 20rpm = 3 mins fire effect. It's why...

Re: Flak issue

There is a misconception about the primitiveness of WW2 mechanization. Even loading out a 5cm granatwerfer section requires motorised supply. You have to ruck mortar bombs and 20kg pack is very...

Re: Flak issue

It's cool that there is an accuracy slider which can be used to reduce hits. Problem is that a rifle squad can effectively suppress targets at 500m (waste of ammo though). The default threshold...

Re: Flak issue

There's still the problem of supposedly killing all 5 crewmen with a 'single shot'. Specifically I find sniper fire is way overpowered in the game. Generally all firearms are given unrealistic actual...

Re: Stupid question about infantry

iirc All unit weapons in SP3 had an element multiplier because it was platoon based. I wouldn't use a straight multiplier if I had my way. It would be the sum total of all rolls and therefore more...

Re: Stupid question about infantry

Not a stupid question. I've wondered this as well. Too bad that other weapon slots/classes can't be given a man multiplier. This was one of the major improvements Grigsby made in his third release I...
