This is not my first encounter with Denniss. We have some history. Currently, production model is flawed, air combat is wacked, ground combat is from an alternate time-line. OOB data is skewed, much to the detriment of one side, while the other side has equipment that does not even exist yet. Trying to address any of this is met with ridiculous responses that fixing would be favoring one side over the other. ??? Really? There is a concept called 'disparate impact', which is appropriate here. Basically means that applying certain rules, equally, should result in equal treatment, but on inspection, it does not. Prime example is arbitrarily withholding Luftwaffe single engine fighter production for the full month of 8-1941, setting up the Luftwaffe to get bled white, all during a critical phase of Barbarossa. This is due to: * the '1 month production delay rule' (completely a Matrix construct with no historical basis) * no provisions to allow simultaneous production of both F2s and F4s. (which is bizarre) * delayed production dates of the F4 to 8-1941 (from the historical 5-1941 to 5-1942). (this is due to broken WiTE2 production model that will not allow F4s to begin until all F2 production was completed, even when some production was at completely different factory locations) (it was easier to skew the data - to the detriment of the Luftwaffe - than to get the coding correct) * and then, forcing the Luftwaffe to endure 1 month delay in 8-1941 when finally transitioning to F4s. (which already took place back in 5-1941, *if* any delay happened at all) This results in 100% of Luftwaffe single engine fighter production being unavailable to be deployed for a full month. (do you think this is unique to the F2 -> F4 transition?) (well it is not) Regarding 'disparate impact', the WiTE2's '1-month production transition rule' unfairly penalizes the side that has relative low production inventories and few production types being produced. (i.e. Germany) In contrast, the VVS has numerous single engine fighter types being produced, as a result, they will never have 100% of their single-engine fighters piling up and non-deployable for 1-month stretches. The '1 month production delay rule' barely impacts the VVS, with huge stockpiles of various AC equipment types. They could probably miss several months without even noticing.... So, you have the '1 month production delay rule', equally applied, but with very unequal impact = 'disparate impact'. The real solution is to fix the WiTE2 production model. But I think we can all agree that will never happen. But to repeatedly ignore with the assertion - fixing would be preferential to one side over the other? Duh? The side that is unfairly suffering to begin with? And to be clear, if this was going on with the VVS, I would be advocating it was not only ahistorical, but unilaterally unfair as well. ----- I do suggest to continue to question and check the underlying equipment and OOB data. Press for more details on how these 'undocumented' data items are calculated (i.e. AC Combat Range / AC Radius / Max load). Also press for OPS rate calculations. At what point am I, inadvertently, subjecting my AC to excess OPS losses? (should this not be documented?) As I have said before, the game should not be a huge 'trial-and-error' labyrinth, resulting in hours and hours of player frustration. Good luck.
