Re: Panzer Corps 2 vs Panzer Corps 1
Panzer Corps definitely feels more like Panzer General. Panzer Corps 2 feels more like Panzer General 2. Personally, I am totally on board with this. Years ago when I was actively playing PG and PG2, I would always revisit PG for the nostalgia hit... which would near instantly wear off once you act...

Re: How similar to Panzer General 2 is this?
Panzer Corps 2 AI no longer has that issue with artillery. It can move them, load them into transport, and even tries to maintain proper distance from targets now. Meaning a 4 range gun doesn't want to move into point blank range when set to 'attacker' mode. It's quite nice to see the AI make good ...

Re: Losing the entire game due to missing by one or two turns is garbage.
My 2 pfennigs on this: using "defeat the enemy in X turns" as the measure of victory always struck me as lazy game-design. It makes it, rather than being a game in which winning means defeating the enemy , a game where enemy units are just so many speed-bumps or hurdles that you have to c...

Re: How similar to Panzer General 2 is this?
to get a feeling of the game, watch some youtube walkthroughs - theEdmon, Green Knight to name a few good players PC2 brought some unique mechanics such as trapping your enemy in "pockets". There are some big scenarios - France, Kiev, Rostov... not the whole Western Front at once, but sti...

How similar to Panzer General 2 is this?
Speaking as someone who loved Panzer General 1 but ended up being fairly disappointed by Panzer General 2 (poor AI, narrower scope of battles), I want to know to what degree PzC2 is like PzG2 before buying it. I assume that PzC2 doesn't repeat the kind of mistakes SSI made with PzG2's AI (i.e., the ...

Re: Better Italians in PzC2?
I never even looked at the numbers in such detail, I am probably not experienced enough to take full advantage of the Italian troops in PzC. But overall, I do hope to see Italy as an interesting Ally in PzC2, rather than just useless auxiliaries. To make full use of them they would have to be a sep...

Re: OOB Expansions I don't want to see
There are a lot of nice ideas in there, no doubt. FWIW I'd like to return myself to the Asia/Pacific theatre at some point, but I guess not this year. None of that is set in stone yet though, so there's plenty of options still open :) IMHO, Korea 1950-53 should be a no brainer for this series. It's...

Re: Order of Battle: Korean War announced!
So, was this ever finished?
Alternatively Korea is like a no-brainer for the next DLC.

Re: Really liked the reconnaissance system of People’s general
People's general is maybe the only PG I did not play but after reading this thread I want to go back see how that game's recon works. Reading some of the other comment on the forum, it seems like a lot of people would like to see a concept like this added. My favourite game from the later series, i...

Re: Better Italians in PzC2?
I think there should definitely more scope for Axis minor core units in the German campaign - you should have at least ~3 Italian/Hungarian/Romanian units in your core if you're fighting either the British in North Africa or the Soviets. These should be part of a separate core-limit so you have to g...

Re: Panzer Corps 2 - Dev Diary #10
Pure pedantry of me I know, but "The Germans launch Operation Battleaxe" is wrong - Operation Battleaxe was a British offensive.

Yeah, the bubble canopy on the Spit is all wrong. The frame is far too prominent.

Yeah, I have really limited time to work on modding so what time I do have I'm spending on the HOI4 mod. Definitely more than happy for someone else to work on this.

That's because you look at this from the a pro perspective to any average gamer who is new this game looks completely broken. This is why it's Dieing out as a game central powers is really annoying to learn. "Pro perspective" here meaning exploiting the hell out of game mechanics and figh...

Re: What would you like next DLC campaign you'd find coming?
I'd love to see a British North African campaign. Beyond that I think the Korean war would be a good subject for a mini-campaign - a battle-list might be something like the following: - Osan - Pusan Perimeter - Inchon landings - Pyongyang - Pursuit to the Chinese border - Chosin Reservoir Retreat - ...

How does this work for the National Assault Force? It's an old volkssturm unit,I didn't make it but I can't remember who did :oops: That's really good artwork. I'll definitely use it! The first book (How Few Remain) is a bit of a stand-alone, but the ones dealing with the Great War were real page-t...

If you want to add my graphics for Mexican guerrillas (basically just riflemen in Sombreros) let me know and I'll post it here. Out of interest - is there a picture of the 7.5cm FK 16 nA in direct-fire mode without a gun crew? I'm afraid the ones with the crew make the gun look too small, and I woul...
