Hi, Dima.

minimum chance vs Panther turret front at point blank range, no chance for hull armor.
minimum chance vs Tiger's hull front at point blank range, no chance for turret armor.

Do you mean both guns here? Also rolled Tigers hull front seems to be more durable than cast mask with irregular thickness.

Great! Seems, most of technical aspects already implemented in right way. Waiting for you finishing the work.
What type of AP ammunition do you simulate for 17 Pounder APC or APCBC and why? AND for 6pdr also.

Hi all!
It's great to see modding and rework on just released game! At one side this means that there are some points to improve))
To make it more realistic historically is an obvious way of improvement. I used to change Stalingrad Operation Circle, great mod but lacking of information about Russian BGs and other stuff. My work has been finished but hasn't been published though)))

Back to this mod, I have several suggestions.
1. Immobile PaK40 due to trails buried into a soil. Strongly convinced this is a myth, started by one of Russian authors and popular at VIF2NE, for example. Among lots of pictured gun positions I've never seen any with gun trails completely dug in. But there are a lot of pictures with PaK40 firing standing on a plain ground supported only by its own weight and two crew numbers hanging on trails. Or fired without trail tails placed into soil properly. Anyway, crews are able to solve the problem putting logs or something like under trail tails to prevent digging in. The gun with carriage isn't a feather though, but it could be replaced by crew members compared to 17-pounder that could not.

2. Don't you think that diminishing power of mortars isn't real historical improvement? Of course something should be done, because it's very frustrating to see my only ATG spotted after killing it's first tank and being put out of action by 4-5 "bombs" of miserable 2inch. But gun crew is still vulnerable to shells blasting behind and aside of the gun shield. Also in reality mortars were effective infantry instrument to slow and stop enemy infantry advance. So, mortar bombs should kill soldiers effectively.
I don't have the plan how to rebalance mortars to stop them being super antitank and antipersonnel weapon but facts above should be taken in account somehow.

3. 17 pounder story. Without any doubts this is most capable Allied gun in terms of armor piercing. With APCBC it is capable to deal with Panther at standard CC ranges ~200-300 meters in frontal projection also. And Tiger is more vulnerable here. I was surprised to receive burning tank after 2 shots from Firefly. Tiger stood at 40 degrees angle to the opponent. But after some investigation, I've realized that there is nothing strange here. And this difference between two German heavies should be reflected IMHO.

4. Available ammunition for guns. For 17 pounder APDS based on the 6pdr APDS design was made available in June 1944 with the first ammunition being filled for service in July. During 1944 only 37000 APDS had been produced compared to 510000 APCBC and 679000 APC (and 1,6 mln APC and APCBC on stock after 1943). Are you sure APDS should be available for every Firefly in July? The same for 6pdr.

Sapa, thanx for pix.

But would you explain next:
after hard ass-kicking enemy Battlegroup one day has zeroes in force pool almost for every team. I start feel myself very fine and wait for total enemy BG defeat. But next game turn surprisingly that @dead@ enemy BG has a lot of tanks, inf and gunz again!
And I never press them "Reinforce", cause there is no button "Reinforce".
How AI does decide how many units add to reinforce battlegroup?

And does it mean that there is no possibility to destroy any enemy BG at all?

Yes, I use this tool.
But there is only wich and how many units will be in pool if u start at specified date and difficulty level.

Maybe, I dont understand how does automatic reinforce work...

Hello, pzjager.

First of all big thanx for the work U did, seems it was a lot of.
Very interesting mod and the graphics is outstanding.

Have some questions.

1. In SOC I found some Bgroups from Soviet side, which never took part in that operation. I mean, for example, 16 Tank korps and some other. In reality there are other tank units and you can easily change uncorrect by changing names and BG icons.
Also I have data on types and amounts of tanks in Soviet armies. And there are some stranges in mod. Some tank BG are very strong, some have uncorrect tanks (Lees, Shermans). To my mind, changes in force pools for better historical realism will not affect on gameplay.
What do You think of it?

2. In both your mods there is no Reinforce buttons. But after hard chit-chat enemy battlegroup surprisingly apeears with fresh force pool instead of zeros. So all my work to weaken enemy unit was useless.
So how do AI decide when reinforce and how many teams add to weakened battlegroup. Wich adb file must be searched?

Hello, countrymen.

Need your professional advise.
Palying different mods, I used to meke some small "corrections", connetcted with historical part of the mod mostly.

So, I met some difficulties with Screen Graphics changing.
Explain, please, where to find number of picture of Bgroup commander "face". Seems that there is no column in Bgroups file with such number.

Second, on the campaign map screen on the top we can see the name of selected Bgroup. I change names in Bgroups.adb, but there is no changes in the game screen, all names still like before any changes. May be this names made as picture, but no the text, but I can't find pictures with Bgroup names in ScrnGadget file.

And maybe different question. If I cannot reinforce come units (no such button) after some hard fightings AI perform reinforcing of exhausted units himself. How do AI decide the number of teams for reinforcing?
