I can help with Russian localization/testing if necessary

может помочь с локализацией / тестированием в России, если это необходимо.

С локализацией помощь почти не требуется, уже заканчиваю, а вот помочь потестировать, это было бы хорошо. Нужен свежий глаз, а то я уже устал и многие орфографические ошибки не вижу. Так же нужна помощь в в подключении локализаци к самому моду. Что бы не тупо кидать файлы с заменой, а просто чтобы подключалась по выбору языка или через GME. Можешь с этим помочь?

Hello. This is a great mod with memorable maps. But I don't understand why the planes at the rear doesn't retaliate when enemy attack some from the front? I arrange my aviation in square formation so the planes from behind to protect those from the front. But the strong luftwaffe kill all my fleet very easy without any significant losses. I don't see how to protect it except the slow AA's which I don't like it because they are very inefficient in the late offensive campaigns.

Fighters do not protect fighters, only bombers, plus each fighter only have one support per turn. Also, soviet fighters are very weak and inexperienced in the beginning. Until better equipment (like Yak-7 or La-5) your best call is probably to weaken up Luftwaffe with auxiliary air units and mobile AA - overstrengthened tracked SPAAGs (SU-6 and alike) can be very deadly and mobile enough to cover your troops.

Later scenarios are easier, thanks to late Yak/La's are way more capable. Yet again, I usually sacrifice and/or cheap repair aux fighters to withstand initial numerous Luftwaffe attacks and then use core units to gain superiority. And don't forget SPAAGs. Towed AA also can do the job, especially if you lucky enough to get range+movement perks :)

Thanks for your quick answer. I play this game in my spare time and sometimes forget small details. I usually use one SU6 and one Yag10 + 1 best towed AAs and upgrade AA's in the maps with trucks to be faster but was difficult to handle with German aviation because the snow terrain reduces half his movement to 3. My mistakes was to use so many fighters at the early scenarios although I usually do that to make them strong with perks for the late. I noticed the single maps drop a lot of prestige and raise experience very quick compared to vanilla and other mods and I will have no problems to achieve the best air fleet(I always use the same ratio - 100%prestige and exp for me and 150% for AI).

Tbh, I prefer using tracked/halftracked vehicles whenever it's possible - while loosing some speed to trucks on road, they are far superior on any other terrain. Thus, in terms of overall mobility YaG-10 is way worse than SU-6, bonus ZiS-43 you can get early on or SU-11/GMC M16 available later in. Even 85/76mm AD towed by decent mule unit will be more mobile (plus it can be deadly AT unit in emergency cases).

As for air fleet - I don't use too many air units in early scenarios, usually couple of fighters plus couple of tactical bombers. With low experience cap and weak soviet air units they not worth it much - air defense units (both core and aux) do the job just fine in defensive scenarios and later on (starting with Yak-7 and/or La-5 (and especially its later version F/FN) and IL-2/Tu-2) I expand my air force to 4 Fighters plus 4 Tacs and 2 Strats. That's enough for me to be able to control the skies and not to be way too dependent on weather. Can use more in the very late scenarios, but quoting famous saying - "the best air defense is our tanks on enemy airfields" :)

Haha nice words. Russian tanks are the best nothing can't stop them, a real killing machines. At least at early campains. :) The most annoying thing in this mod is that ''rugged defence'' trigger too much often. Even in middle entrenchment 3 or 4 points every second defensive action is rugged, and in more - the real nightmare. Even if the opponent unit is in deep suppression (red zone) this action is still constant although I use mostly my infantry to attack entrenched enemy. I see the mod try to be as much realistic as possible but in the actual war suppressed and morally exhausted troops are easily killed even they hide in their bunkers and trenches. :) I will be glad if I'm able to choose the level of entrenchment of my troops manually. Because as I noticed this thing is generated by the system even I put some of my troops to sleep or motionless for one turn. Thanks.

You can use the cheat code :

To open the console: Shift + Ctrl + Alt + C
You type:
ent #N
Sets entrenchment of the selected unit to #N

Hello fcbayern1984.
Keep in mind the entrenchment mechanics are part of the game core, we cannot anything about that regarding the player units :( . Unless, as Estherr mentioned, you use the cheat codes :P

And thanks a lot for your words about the mod :D

Best regards,
Akkula.

Thanks Akkula! I'm pretty sure that you know the strong and the weak sides of your mod without our tips. I just share my impressions of a modest fan who plays only for fun to enjoy epic and memorable battles. I'm not counting prestige and don't trying to achive zero casualties just marginal victory. :) I like this mod, one of the first missions - The battle of Hanko is one of the best. I replayed it three time because I lost. Too much waiting and one of the small island filled up with troops and you can't not land.:) Now I'm in Sevastopol and every next mission becomes easier. It will be better to reduce the prestige counting for the new version because my amount is over 20k. You will tell me to change the percentage but I always play with 100 (strange the hardest difficulty is fixed to be 122%). Anyway. I like the maps design which is acurate with historical battles.

***

As for entrenchment/rugged defense - I really find it annoying at times, but it helps to wear down entrenchment in first place using air units (even fighters - even with no damage they remove one level of entrenchment per attack), then artillery (since lower the entrenchment - the better damage it deals), and finally frontal assault with infantry units. Engineers and alike are the best as they ignore entrenchment alltogerher. Also depends on your troops experience: 3-star Infantry generally have not too much trouble with entrenchment, except maybe for a few missions where Germans are sitting dug-in with entrenchment 20. Though you can usually bypass these defenses.

Well, sort of sorted out the localization, now runs both the Russian and English version of the mod. I correct errors and spelling.

Hi Guys,
Again I have a problem with this mod - can't run it at all. I just downloaded newset version, and it doesn't run. Please take a look at some screenshots. My game version is 1.26

And there is one more question. For direction:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Panzer Corps\PanzerCorps.exe" /nocache

is there a spacje between exe" and /nocache. Just above there is and it's just copied from txt instruction file.

You don't need tileset mod at all to run soviet storm. Activate "soviet storm" first and then icon pack (big scn for GPW or standard for Forgotten Campaigns/Caucasus) on top of it.

Installation
------------
1- I assumed you have installed GME and followed its instructions.
2- Unzip all the RAR folders into the MODS folder in the Panzer Corps folder.
3- Run the GME Utility and apply the mod: Soviet Storm.
4- Unzip and install (simply double-click over it) the font RUSKOF LIGHT.
5- Run Panzer Corps and be part of the Soviet Storm!!.
