Hello everyone
I've been enjoying the great scn Blitzkrieg1942, thanks to Eivind André Evensen and Eivind IV for this great work
While if there is something not perfect, it's that when I play Allieds (US, UK, USSR, whichever), it feels not much presure from the Axies, and it's always too easy and too early (historical wise) to push them back.
So I made some minor changes: I cut the prices of all Axies special units by half (or even more).
Then it feels good: AI UK is very likely to lost a 2nd Battle of Britain to the AI Nazi's bombers, if US don't interve stronge enough; While east front experienced extensive battle comes and goes between Riga-Kiev and Moscow; Japs bombers were everywhere and only my rush builded P-40s(ha, fly tigers?) saved Asia continent, barely
Yet there is something bad:
1, since I cut the price, Nazi barely build a single tank. How do I know? I checked the Casualties statistics, seems they never lost any tanks after the initial tanks were lost. It don't feels very Nazi if they don't use tanks
2, I was playing US, and I didn't think I have much air force at beginning to waste on bombing Flak guarded citys, so I developed a new tactic for strategic bombing: I just stop my bomber on the enemy "Industial Estate" stack, only a few bombers are needed to criple the production of a major city to about 10 shields, plus I have no lost, so I can gain a large bomber fleet much faster. But the problem is: Until I have enough bombers and begun attacking citys, there were no Nazi fighters came to me, they only retaliate with waves and waves of bombers. Only after the real bombing to the citys they send 3-4 Bf109s, all defeated by my escorting P51.
At Week 68, on the verge of Berlin's fall, Nazi lost a huge 367 bombers(Ju87/He111) vainly to go through fighters and flaks; but lost only 28 fighters(Me109/110/Fw190) and 35 tanks(Pz3/Pz4). There could have been a big trouble to me if they change their bombers to fighters and tanks.
So my question is, is there any way to help AI to balance their production according to need?
