Re: Efficacy of WaffenSS Spec?

The best about SS is that they always have constant CP in every missions. Some small missions or when you must wait for reinforcement, SS proves to be a solid force in battlefield. So what units for SS ? AT and Arty of course, they have very same power as normal Wehrmacht. Medium tanks are ok then ...

This is a must for campaigns with SS core units.
Agreed

Bonus from Auftragstaktik

Does the bonus effect all unit types which are considered infantry types (Infantry, Heavy Infantry, Paratroopers, Mountaineers, Engineers,...) or just "German Infantry '<year>"?

Re: Efficacy of WaffenSS Spec?

I really would like to see a useful alternative of the SS specialisation, where you could give an additional boost to the normal German units. So far I've only played the first DLC of the German Campaign and didn't care about the SS. But I guess when I play the later DLC, fielding additional units w...

What units to buy with the WSS?

I just pulled out OOB after a long break and restarted the Blitzkrieg campaign. Any advice from you veteran players what units I should buy with the Waffen SS? I honestly don't like this "feature" in the specilisation at all . For multiple reasons. Gameplay wise it forces you to use it bec...

Missing events in Dunkirk Scenario

Hello, I've just played the Dunkrik Scenario of the Wehrmacht campaign and I didn't get the event where I should shot down a Spitfire and a I didn't get the event where I should sink these two enemy transport ships, also. Has this been changed or are there some hidden triggers which I hadn't trigger...

Re: Returning Player is a little lost with Blitzkrieg

In Warsaw I had two BF 109 and one Stuka. The two fighters got enough kills for the commander. Warsaw was quite heavily defended and my first assault was so bloody, that I restarted. It went better the second time. For Norway I bought a second Stuka. Overall this scenario was much easier. I also had...

Re: Returning Player is a little lost with Blitzkrieg

A new OOB player here. I just finished the first scenarios - I was waiting for the patch to move on to Norway. I have only been using elite replacements on core if they have an experience star to save RP. Also One of the first units I bought was another Ju 87 which does help with reducing bunkers! ...

Re: Returning Player is a little lost with Blitzkrieg

I tried something different this time. Bought a Stuka and used it to weaken the Polish units at Chorzele together with the leIG. Meanwhile all the auxilliaries and my core withdraw from the region around Mlawa and crossed the river to the east. The tanks attacked the Chorzele units in the back and I...

Re: Returning Player is a little lost with Blitzkrieg

I don't really understand why people struggle so much with lowering game difficulty when the game is too difficult for them. This game offers 5 difficulty levels so just pick the one who suits you the best. You are right that the balance of this game has changed over the years for the better that's...

Re: Returning Player is a little lost with Blitzkrieg

Your first purchase should be one of the 8-range artillery units. Softening up units prior to attack is really important, and unlike some people, I don't go for the kill on enemy units; because it often causes you to get strung out and the furthest ahead units get hit back hard. Beat 'em back, and ...

Re: Return to Vietnam

I played Vietnam 65 quite a few times and I liked it a lot, but I didn't got into A 11. It didn't feel rewarding having to fight the big Taliban attacks with the crappy ANA forces. I'd really like to see a Vietnam Campaign with mostly US troops and a core force feature.

Returning Player is a little lost with Blitzkrieg

I've played OOB a few years back and I played quite some similar games. I would call myself an average player. Now I've come back and really want to play the long German campaigns, but I allready struggle on the first two missions playing on the 3rd difficulty level. I lack RP to even buy enough cra...

Re: How's the scenario design for OOB Marine?

I came back to OOb with the Marines Campaign. I like it so far. Don't get me wrong I like PzC too, it's a good game, but it feels a littel like chess. OOB on the other hand is tactical more challenging and gives you more opportunities to outmaneuver the enemy. This is because of much better game mec...

I'm playing the GC, just finished Arras in GC 40 and I have experienced the unit spam in quite some GC scenarios. But I suppose it's even more annoying in the vanilla game. To be honest, I have been away from PanzerCorps some time, so I'm not sure about how blocking a supply hex works. How many of m...

AI Unit Spam

Are there any good methods to prevent the AI unit spam towards the end of scenario? It sometimes makes reaching/capturing the last victory hex really annyoing and unnecessary difficult when the AI pops out six new units around the last hexes every turn. Without massive use of artillery and a lot of ...

I've sold it and bought a new sIG33. I want some self propelled artillery anyway, to allow my units some cover when advancing rapidly.

Re: If the German’s had won at the Bulge,,,,,,

As others have mentioned, I think the goal was to split up the union between the allies. There were a lot of friction between the allies, not only between the western alies and the Sovjet Union, but also between the military leaders of the western allies themself. Also I doubt, that it would have ev...
