PostPosted: Wed Jan 07, 2009 8:59 am Post subject: Unit Strength and a few other questions Reply with quote

hello everyone...im back!

A few of you may remember me. I used to frequent this place around 1 year ago. Good to be back again. I've got a few things that need answering.

1) How exactly do you determine Tank strength? Does it just come with experience. I know some tanks are supposed to be stronger than others, but is there a way to tell the relative strength of 1 type of tank versus another. For example, I had a Marder against a Sherman. The Marder must've fired 5 shots and nothing happened. Then, the Sherman turned around the blew the crap out of the Marder.

2) I'm a playing GJS as Germans. How can I reinforce units without losing the ground I hold? I tried moving the BG out of the map and simultaneously moving another BG onto the map so I wouldn't lose ground, but VL's were lost. Shouldn't it be possible to move a BG into an area to replace another one?

thanks for helping and just gotta say this is still the best game out there!

1) Some tanks are just stronger then others. It depends on armour and it's gun. Experience does help in reducing reload times and increasing accuracy.

2) You'll always lose ground when switching BG's

1) Yes, but my question is HOW do you determine the strength of one tank fighting against another. Where do I find that information? Is it something you just learn by playing many games?

2) Would disbanding help me to relieve units without losing ground? I just thought there would be a way to rotate BG's without loss of territory.

To get that information, you can get an editor called QClone and open the gun file. It contains information about all the weapons in the game, including parametres such as range, damage, weight, etc. The armour information can be found in the vehicles file.

For tanks...
Of course...you can read-up on WW2 Militaria books...specifically books about WW2 armored warfare.
A generic reference book on WW2 tanks should also help too Wink
