Will you do a separate Mod for the Pacific Campaign?

It's great that at the end there will be a full Asia ) And you can make it so that the cavalry could visually dismount but lose maneuverability, submarines dive and pop up, assault aircraft could dive on enemies, as can be seen in various mods on Panzer corps !?

Yes that will be all possible as it already is in the mod.

Hi PCHAS,

First of all congrats for your Mod and especially the e-file.
In your scenario in Poland (big map), some units moved by trucks no movement sound but this is not important.
I played ten turns with the 1st scenario in Poland then the game froze and I lost my progression...
Strange since I am using well the "nocache" parameter. Is the game less stable with big maps ?
It requires indeed more effort to play on a unique map when I see the nr of units to move compared to smaller maps.

I also finished the standard US campaign using your mod (even if we find some old French tanks and Russian infantry among the German army), the campaign is fully playable. Your icons are really excellent, I am impressed (I really like the mini-icons where we can instantly recognize artillery, anti-tank, ...)
But your e-file is not fully compatible with vanilla e-file ? I also see German units moving with a truck with the word "replace" written in red.
I also noticed icon of M4A1 US tank has the look of a M4A1W76.
Maybe you shall review e-file for Western countries and USSR too.

If on top of this you manage to create a Japanese campaign, then it would be outstanding of course (a kind of Pazifik Korps ?)

Anyway you re-file and icons is outstanding, I also like the big and the small maps, this is nice!
Keep up the good work!

Quick Question - Maybe someone can help. When my units get awards or heroes there are no graphics in the pop-up.
From which file / folder does the game get those?
(i messed around quite a bit with different efiles / campaigns)

Thx in advance

Hello everybody,

After we bring a lot of changes into the MOD with every update and with the version number v 0.0 it gives the impression that we are still in the alpha stage, we decided to change the version number with the next update.
Do not worry, it does not affect the compatibility with the previous updates, but rather it is a visual change of the version number.
The change only affects the leading zero from previous versions, which means that the next update will get version number v0.38 .

Hello RobertCL

Thanks for your words.
-Which trucks in Poland have no movement sound?
-We have not much complains that the game gets frozen, it should not.
-About transport units with the word "Relace", this units has to be replaced by me in the scenarios. This is because we made a new system of transport categories. P1, P2, P3, T1, T2, T3, T4 etc. The units with the "Replace" sign are the old "land" categorie units that have to be replaced in all scenarios. So the sign "Replace" is for me. All this units will be replaced as you already tought :) I just have to find the time to rework all scenarios in the game for that. The units have to be replaced to prevent that a Opel Blitz truck can tow a 240mm K3 gun.
-We are behind with the US Army
-We are working on the Russian Army

Thanks for your comment. Please stay givin us feedback. I have to confess that I have no time at all to play our mod. I make the scenarios all theoretical. If issues show up, please tell us.

Greetings PHCAS

Hi phcas

I know that Königsberg has a harbour, but on your Polandmap, i can´t use it - i can´t supply or repair waterunits.
Seeplanes get some Problems to supply on the Norway, Low Contries, France & Seelion Maps !

There is an error in strings. It is supposed to be corrected in the next update.
If you want to correct it yourself, before that, scan for 4 quote signs (")
There's three lines that have the 4 quotes, there should be only 2 each time.
See the post atthe bottom of page 63

Hi raider45

I understand the problem with Königsberg harbour now. You simply can not enter the hex. It will be fixed in update v0.39. The problem was that the minor river was also ending in this hex, that's why ships could not enter the hex.

What are the problems with the seaplanes? Please be more specific in the discription of the problems, that saves me a lot of time.

Thanks and greetings PHCAS

In the good old Pacific General game aircraft carriers can carry more than one airunit. This is of course impossible in Panzer Corps................isn't it?

I don't understand the question.
In PC aircraft carriers do not carry anything.
To my knowledge they are just supply points for aircraft, moveable airfields.

Thats correct, I know. But in the old Pacific General game the carriers can have aircraft units inside. They move with the carrier and can be deployed from the carrier. I know this is not in Panzer Corps, but maybe there is a genius in this world who says "I can fix that for you" :)

Hi PHCAS,

"The impossible question"
The old Pacific General has the best music of all times in a WW2 game (either US jazz-blues or Japanese music).
Normally only PAC had the feature to keep multiple planes in a carrier, so far PzKorps only allows only one plane to be refueled and repaired on an aircraft carrier.
If you managed to use this feature in PzKorps, you should be paid by Slitherine!
