Yes, always obey orders helps in this case. However, it also disables the morale - surrendering component of the psychological engine. Troops will never surrender when always obey orders it turned on... |

I have noticed troops actually surrender quite often when you don't have always obey order checked, since individual team morale is generally lower in this game than, let's say CC5 GJS. Or to put it in other words, you can not select and deselect individual teams in GtC until you get the best teams from the forcepool as we all used to do rigorously in CC5. Therefore, due to this limitation you eventually end up with a platoon full of more varying team morale, which is actually a good thing. It makes your HQ units much more important and urges you to keep them close to your troops. |

For me, it's just completely unplayable without always obey orders on. This problem has been around since the first "remake" Cross of Iron, and they have simply refused to acknowledge it or fix it since then. It wasn't broken in CC5, it didn't need to be tinkered with. |

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))) |

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. |

Any ETA on this?
I cant play the game anymore. I'm hoping this and a Patch will get my interest up. |

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. |

It might a myth but I can't picture crew moving pak40 like that in CC : http://www.ww2incolor.com/d/540259-4/Pak+40 so it will remain immobile for me. |

no, mortars still kill moving/running infantry reliably and you just need more bombs to kill guns and proned soldiers. 81mm mortar bombs didn't have enough HE to affect proned soldiers like artlllery shells, their main advantages were numbers and trajectory. |

there is no APDS for 17pdr in mod, why? 6pdr APDS were issued prior to Invasion. |

PaK40 is sitting on the line between mobile and immobile. If there is intended way to move it by crew, I will make it mobile for my playing. Hystorical realism BTW, will it be possible to tow it? Seems not. |

The idea of my suggestion was that you should remember Tiger is far more vulnerable to 17pdr in frontal than Panther. Not only hull, but gun mask also but not so far. Hope you've done it this way. What type of ammo do you simulate for 17pdr, APC or APCBC? |

Want to support you in that APDS dispersion discussion. All that I know about poor results for 17pdr APDS should be translated to the small brother. 6pdr should demonstrate great dispersion for just moderate distances.
A very interesting testing results for 17pdr http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/us-firefly-17-pounder-vs-90mm-vs-76mm.285284/ |

17pdr - APC and APCBC as both were used that time because of different advantages and disadvantages. 6pdr - APCBC and APDS. |

What disadvantages you mean? I know about APC crashes striking hard armour plate with high Brinnel number set up with some slope. |
