Oh! The inserted CAV division in my line north of Orel attacked by the 106 Inf Division "Shattered". Guess the pressure was too much to bear.

Recon from Kharkov to Dnepropetrovsk

Here is the Recon of the front between Kharkov to Dnepropetrovsk. Seems pretty void of Soviet units. I crisscrossed recon to get the best bang for the buck while reconing shown with paths.

South

10 more Soviet Divisions and a Corps HQ in another pocket in the South. It should hold but it may not here 50/50 chance.

37 total Soviet Divisions & a Corps HQ in pockets this turn across the map so far.

Such awful faces, you really need a picture mod. ;)

I recommend COREd War in the East 2 model, factory and leader graphics mod.

Too many items are having an impact in patch .09 & .10 in the AIR to continue. Up to my opponent if they are willing to wait or get another game, I don't care either way.

Forgive me if I’ve missed something obvious here, but you have got ports in the east set to higher priority than these, right ( set to import) ? They should then pull supply from these exporting ports and then move it inland to higher priority depots. If you have and it’s not moving, then that’s got to be a bug or a RTFM I’ve missed too.


No need to forgive anything, always ask questions I welcome all of them. I have Riga set at three (3) but all the shipping is still going to the export port of Liepaja (bottom left in the picture) which is set at two(2). Parnu set at two(2) & Tallinn set at two(2) for imports are only getting rail supply. This turn I am setting all export ports to zero(0) except for Koenigsberg which I will set at 2. I will set all import ports to zero(0) except for Riga which I think a 3 should be ok. What do you all think? I think all my freight is getting tied up in all of my darn ports first before supply flows east :( At least that is what it feels like.





I can 100% now say that you really want to keep your export ports down to one. In my other game here https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5076862 I only have Koenisberg as an export port and I shipped a ton of supplies (29,000 freight) to Riga & two other ports I had to receive supplies. Having many export ports in this game defeated the purpose of what I was trying to do by doing the freight suffle between them. I also had set the other ports to zero (0) in my other AAR game. Lesson learned and what I did in the other game will be done here.

But in the meantime I did a few test that were interesting and I am sure people already know this but going to show it anyway. Here are my two PZ Divisions I received as reinforcements this turn. Lets test how many damaged tanks you get for moving just 1 hex, then 10 hexes, then 40 hexes and see the results. Here is this first move and the damaged tanks for just moving one hex on roads.

3 tanks are damaged from moving one hex on roads :( I reset the PZ Division and will now try 10 hex movement and check the damage tanks.

***Again this was all done on good roads so you can expect even higher in Mother Russia with her non-road system ;-P

The game is continuing for sure, as long as Jubjub continues. Let me be clear that I had no problem with the ground game at all & the current patch of .15 just enhances my convection that the Germans are very powerful. My concern is the Air war. The air base morale is a step forward in this patch but I won't benefit from that until next turn since I am already at the end of my turn here.

Now having said that I am going to go ahead and go forward with the game knowing that the Air changes wont take place for awhile. I should have this game turn back to Jubjub tomorrow for continuation and I will update the AAR accordingly. Accordingly would be once I receive turn 13 back from Jubjub since this turn I have 37 Divisions in pockets this turn & another possible surround in the works to cut off another 8 units. But that won't happen for sure but it is in the works if not paid attention to.

Here are the patch notes for those reading this in the future. https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5088754

"A task force of 50 tanks moving thirty to forty miles a day will have between 15 and 20 tanks drop out during the day just for maintenance and repair. These repairs could include everything from the minor changing of spark plugs and V belts to the actual replacements of transmission and track suspension elements."

During the Anschluss in 1938, the 2nd PzDivision lost 30% of its tanks just cruising on austrian roads due to mechanical failures.

Then of course, the figures do not mean much as we don't have the definition either in those examples, or in the games.
Nevertheless, it does give a good clue.

I also read somewhere -but can retrieve the source right now - that a tank in WW2 could last betwenen 700 to 1000 km before it needs a full rebuild / revision.

This isn't going to get patched before I get back, and then it may take some time to figure out what changed.

Since I already did my Air Phase long ago I can't go and add a GS AD. Not that I would actually even fly a GS mission since that in and of itself is suicide to your planes in the defensive phase(this really needs an overview and revamp for GS in H2H) Not to mention that my fighters that should be only flying in the "Enemy Phase AS" are already fatigued, out of supply, and possibly not going to fly when I had set them to the enemy phase having inadvertently suffered OPS losses during my ground attack phase. This has been addressed ad-nauseum in numerous posts. So I have to rely on auto-intercept in and of itself which according to the aforementioned post wont happen. All of this has taken a large chunk of my fighters and destroyed them without even shooting down a single Soviet Aircraft.


I really am disheartened at the current state of the air war in WITE@ and I have been this close >|< to calling it quits on more than a few occasions. The only sheet of paper between why I have not outright quit is because I love the game, I also have invested a great deal of time to this match & AAR. But it is to the point that I feel the Air War just is not functional to the standards I would like to see so I either wait or quit the game...

Not sure if this helps, but when I don't want my planes to fly during the AI phase I would either delete the GS directive right before hitting end turn or switch a bunch of air groups to rest. I think it's also possible to change the GS doctrine.

Correct, and I have deleted AD's before. I have not tried changing the type of AD they were on though. But in essence I want my fighters to fly. I also would like to engage the enemy too before losing a great many planes to just OPS loses.

So, you are from DC K62? Or the surrounding areas? I live in Northern Virginia.

I have not had issues exactly with seeing intercepting when doing this, as long as you had a GS AD setup. At least that was always my understanding of how Interception takes place. You can go in each turn and delete everything and then if all you do is add in GS for each of the Lufts your good to go.

Way back when I was trying to understand how the Air system worked, I would turn on AI assist when it was first introduced and watch and analyzed how it created AD and moved AOG's. Then as I got more confident and more understanding I would delete them and experiment.

So then I got in the habit (before switching over to manual air) of deleting all the last turn AD and let the AI re-create them, then little by little would Just not use the AI assist and make my own.

What I generally always seen was that as long as there was GS on the AG would intercept.

Yes, NoVa here too. Not technically DC (as my brother-in-law is very fond of reminding) but close enough as far as anyone cares outside the Beltway.

You can't make new AD's during the Ground phase, hence my situation. I don't have a problem intercepting, it is the cumulation of items all hitting at the same time from needing patches, updates, and Air needing tender loving care. I am pretty sure I have a good grasp of the Air parameters. It is the inner workings that is at fault.
