I agree. Soviet morale in 41 should top out at 45. 50 is too much. If we could crank back Soviet morale by 5 for 41 only I think all would be ok. But the morale settings are for the whole game. And apparently too hard to change [8|]
Might be Soviet morale is growing too quickly now. Much depends on which tuning goal you have, where you personally want the balance to be. I think Somkindave is actually doing fairly well here and just experienced the break that occurred due to lack of infantry support, but else it seems fairly good. Sure, not the super advances that you show in your AARs, but something more able to create a "suspense of disbelief".
Soviet morale growth should be easy to change again for the devs via the national moral threshold I guess. In an ideal world, they'd have that one included as a setup parameter in the scenarios, but WitE isn't that modding friendly.
I am not sure that tuning it down goes the right direction, though. I begin to think something needs to be done to put more importance into the southern Soviet zone, that makes it more worth fighting for it. In the center and south, Sapper withdrew largely to chose the terrain of defense himself, so he was not exactly aggressive or forward committed, but also did not just flee straight. Just in the south...
Sapper is piling up units north, and even neglecting the little delay of a few MPs that Riga cost, is extremely strong there. Sure, I know, it is the poor defensive terrain south, the lack of combatants after Lvov relative to such a large area, and simply hindsight that the war is won or lost with AGN and AGC, but if the Soviet player had not been able to redirect so much reserves north, the going there would be less tough, and the fighting south be harder such as it probably should be like in the case of not abandoning the vast open grain region.
Maybe there should be limits placed on the redirection of forces north and the distribution of reserves generally? Or somehow more value to the southern sector that increases force needs there as well? With the Red Army stretched out across all 3 German AGs, instead of concentrating to stop two, the game will have a very different balance.
That's why the prefect opening in the south is so important. SD missed 18 units in the south.
Like MT stated in his last 4 games the SHC dude did a major screw up on turn 2-3. None did the standard run in south and it cost them the game, because they had nothing to send north.
