Re: Steel Panthers-Individual Soldiers

Actually, there are already one-man units in the game, in the form of snipers.

Also, I think that for MBT there is a scenario in which the player commands a squad, with each squad member as a...

Re: Morale and experience

My understanding is that it is largely acknowledged that being shot at (=suppression in game terms) tends to significantly reduce the accuracy of ones fire.

Re: An Observation

Destroyed vehicles already cause a bit of suppression to all units from their side that are near by.

While this effect may not be very noticeable for a couple of wrecks, try blowing up dozens of...

Re: Firing a German Pak-40 75mm Anti Tank Gun

The shield on that Garrington Gun looks indeed like it would protect the upper bodies reasonably, though if I were to crew one I would still want to build a sandbad emplacement around to also protect...

Re: Firing a German Pak-40 75mm Anti Tank Gun

By my understanding, also mobility and conceability were rather important design criteria for anti-tank guns, and having a huge and heavy gun shield does not really help either.

That said, there...

Re: Gun shields

Keep in mind that a crew that has bunched up behind a gun shield is still quite vulnerable target to small arms fire from sides or flank. And HE rounds exploding to their side or rear (regardless of...

Re: Germany OOB 16: wrong warhead size for weapon #135 and #136

Regarding accuracy of weapons, it is determined in a rather straightforward manner based on the relationship between barrel length and weapon calibre. The exact formula is specified in the Mobhack...

Re: Molotov price

Molotov Cocktail was one of the few anti-tank weapons that Finns could mass produce at the time. Though there was also a production line for lisence-built 37 mm Bofors anti-tank guns, but that had a...

Re: Molotov price

Actually, there were Molotov Cocktail variants that did not need to be opened before throwing. One of these featured a sort of big match on the side, that would be lighted before throwing.

Re: BT-7 upgrade

As for the T-50 captured by the Finnish Army, I think that it may have ended up at some point serving as a command tank for the Finnish "heavy tank company", which contained a motley mixture of...

Re: BT-7 upgrade

From a doctrinal point of view, my understanding is that the Soviet plan was to replace BT "cavalry tanks" with the T-34 tank. Of course by the time Germans started invading there was not enough T-34...

Re: MG 34 - MMG/HMG what's the difference

Speaking of Puppchen, it already exists in the game. Very powerful HEAT round, but the tactical use tends to be limited by the 12 hex range.

Re: USA Bazooka Team

That said, does the US OOB actually have any other inf-AT teams in the OOB before 1945, when the 57 and 75 mm recoilless rifles enter into use?

I am not at my home computer where the game is...

Re: Was the Type 99 Antiaircraft Sight ever Used?

When Guderian heard of that recommendation in late 1941 somewhere in the eastern front, he felt like pointing out that the front line divisions had very limited number of artillery rounds available,...

Re: Bulgarian OOB19 v.9

Yep, that's the one - I re-discovered it myself yesterday and gave it another try, resulting in marginal victory. It is a pretty fun little scenario to play as the Germans, with a few surprises...

Re: Questions

Gelainey has an interesting approach, I had not considered throwing in an early counter-attack when playing as the delaying side.

Re: Bulgarian OOB19 v.9

I think that I have at some point played a late war scenario that comes with the game that pits Germans against a joint attack by Bulgarians and Soviets. Cannot recall the name or number for that...

Re: British Paratroops in WWII

Somebody in the British Army must have been fond of the humble 2 in mortar, considering that it was kept in use for quite a while.

A lot of militaries adopted various "mini-mortars" in 45 to 52 mm...

Re: Questions

I would suggest that the advance/delay scenario would be best considered as a hasty attack/defence encounter. For example, the attacker has broken through the main defensive line and is advancing to...

Re: Flamethrower Units, Casualties and Transports

That is also my impression, so no need to worry about flamethrowers exploding.

As for vehicles, some of the flamethrower armed ones may have slightly lower survivability ratings than their...

Re: Target hex density in spww2?

One effect of stacking multiple units in same hex is that it slows down movement (as there is an additional cost for moving to a hex with units already in it).

As for shooting, it tends to be...

It does not really provide the sort of customisation that you are after, but the classical fantasy hex wargame Sword of Aragon from late 80's might be still worth taking a look at for inspiration.

Re: MG 34 - MMG/HMG what's the difference

Game-wise, it might be worth noticing that the MG34/42 MMG units have three men per gun, while the HMG equivalents have four - making them slightly more survivable.

Rather off-topic: while the...
