Status: offline 		If I'm taking high fighter losses would it just be better to send them in an air superiority directive as they can get an altitude bonus instead of as an escort for air support in the area I plan to attack? Or should I just really limit my usage of air support to a few times an entire turn?

depends ... really on why you are losing fighters and what you expect

so

a) if its high operational losses, then yes I'd go for less sustained commitment
b) you are fairly even in terms of planes and pilot skill, then maybe grabbing the benefit of altitude will make a difference
c) you aren't - either you are outclassed (in which case there is little you can do at the tactical level) or you think you should be winning?

Status: offline 		As Russia i am trying to assign support units to corps.
Sometimes when i say to assign support to corps, i get a list of Arty and combat arms. Fine
Sometimes I do exactly the same thing and i get a list of AA and Const Eng, that i dont want.
I am very sure i am selecting a corp and not a city. But i cant toggle between the to lists to only get the Arty list.
And it has wiped out all my AP points to 0, assigning Arty, because sometimes the AA list appears when i dont want it.
Some front line corps only give me the AA list and refuse to let me assign Arty.

21.2.1. Ground Elements
All ground units are composed of multiple types and numbers of ground elements. These ground elements represent individual squads, guns, AFVs, and other combat vehicles such as halftracks and armoured cars. Every ground element consists of manpower and equipment (such as a tank and its crew).

23.12.
Ground elements in the unit have a chance of being damaged or destroyed, and some ground elements may be captured, with damaged ground elements being much more likely to be captured.


Q: What can you do with captured equipment as Axis from the soviets? Do they go to your pool or are otherwise used for production?

it really depends

pro- quick CPP regain
anti - less units able to dig > 1 fortifications

playing Stal-Berlin as the axis I found it better just to keep the Pzr Armies on assault and not the infantry. I could then double-team them so the infantry dug in and the Pzrs had the advantage of quick CPP regain. You can slot key infantry corps into the Pzr Army so that helps but I found by late 1943 German infantry are not that great for attacking (TOE and NM changes)

its variable - I've just opened the Dec 44 turn of my Soviet AAR and can find some bits of axis equipment in the production pools.

I don't think that much is re-used in part as from 43 the Soviets had a clear idea of the advantage of a small number of relatively standardised pieces of equipment.

others far more knowledgeable than me might add something but I think the last big haul of stuff they converted was the Pzr III's taken at Stalingrad that became the basis of an early version of the SU-76. But when they stopped T60/70 production they had a far more reliable base for when the SU-76 went into more widespread use

but heres evidence for at least some T4s;

no its free - but you do shed 50% of the SU's CPP each move.

watch out for AA allocated to cities and for the cost of attaching construction units to cities

Thanks. I knew there was some drawback I didn't see. I was having a party each turn and assigning all my division assigned SUs back to HQ. I guess that ends here and now...

I asked for a unmoved combat units hotkey to cycle through unmoved units in "feature/suggestions". Prayers are up

There's also a visual aid on the counter, upper right hand corner: black square = hasn't moved, white square = has moved, no square = all movement spent. Would be nice to be able to filter this status from the CR since MP points don't always tell everything. Hotkey to cycle through unmoved units would be great too :)

Aha very nice, I've never noticed that. Yes indeed this would be very useful info in the CR.

CR can be customized. Not all data is visible there by default. MP can be displayed on the screen.

Push "Execute Air Phase"! "Send to Server" means to save the game to the server, but the move is yours!

The units still have access 2 soviet airbases but based on the situation when i loaded up the next turn I expected them to isolated. For whatever reason they aren't isolated. Unfortunately i dont have a screen shot but im thinking there might be a mechanic im not aware of.

Sounds like a bug. If you have the save post it in the Tech section.

If you mean the red lining, that only shows if the units are out of supply (air supply in other words). Did the units surrender when attacked?

It possible they were supplied by air. I alt tabbed while the ai's turn processed

not really, it works on an order system but its not wego, your airphase is executed.

both sides can set some missions - naval and air superiority - to run in their own phase, the enemy phase or both

the one page guides are your friends here
