DF really needs to hire historical consultant - Tunisia selection of vehicles could have been much better

All the planes inthe campaign were either in Tunisia, or were at least available at the time - including he 190 A-1 - a detachment of JG2 was there with it - see Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in North Africa | Research UNE

Dunno what he’s complaining about in that respect.

There’s only 3 variations of hte 75/18 - the M50, M41 and M42 - see Semovente M40, M41, and M42 da 75/18 - Tank Encyclopedia

well, i just looked up in the files and:

there aren’t going to be any 200,

but 202 and crusader 2 as well:

202 is there already.

And if we have Grant already, i dont think that Crusader will be there at all, maybe as a premium.

isn’t what op talks about?

and i quote:

Re2000 - Italians barely used this plane, just why? Why not C. 200 or G50 that WERE extensively used by Italians and are of similar performance. They even have some limited capability to carry bombs, but if the decision is for fighters not to have bombs, just leave them out.

i guess his wishes are reality ( unless it goes prem )

EDIT:

i see, i missed the 202 at level 24

Dont get me wrong, but did you even looked on that campaign before you started commenting?

It is there as MC. 202 EC, version with 20mm guns.
But OP talks about that Re.2000 were not really used there and should been replaced with either G.50 or MC.200/MC.202.

yes

You are missing the point. Pz3 B in Moscow was a done deal and they don’t want to change it.

Point is that they DID IT AGAIN. So they didn’t learn anything from the last time. You have to be really incompetent not sincerely find balanced equipment from TWO nations per side.

That is what I am pointing at. There is that one person that needs to get fired. They said themselves, they are a small team, I doubt they have a whole team deciding on what to include from the WT stuff.

And about Cruisaider II. It’s armor improvement is so limited it would not make any difference.

Campaign is mixed in nature. Why not have Italian then German then again Italian tank. Totally acceptable, same as with planes.

I don’t agree, and frankly it seems to me that I know more about the topic at hand then most of community. It’s like having HE112 in Moscow because hey Germans had 109 but nah, leave it out put HE112 instead (which even was produced in limited numbers). I gave you high production equivalents of every Axis fighter that is comparable to ones we now have in game. And yes, I also do own them and have flown them extensively. My WT nickname is the same, look for it yourself.

But in that book those FW-109 are A-2 to A-5 variants, can you please show me where it talks about A1 variant?

There is more Semoventes:
M41 75/18
M41 75/32
M42 75/34
M43 105/25
M41 90/53
M43 75/46
L40 47/32

Dont take me wrong, but dont try to talk about Italian tanks or vehicles when you clearly dont have really any knowledge about them.

He has me blocked, actually he has half of the forum members blocked, so he can’t see what I am claiming. Quote it to him that I said that. Thanks.

if for deal you mean, struggle even with an upgraded tank, i guess?

but considering that you are facing for the majority ABs or M13s and M14s in tunisia, it’s not ALL that bad.

absolutely right.

no argue there for sure.

well, i don’t know about that, but surely something has to be made about it.

dunno, although it has more angled plates. and somewhat different chassy.

which improves the actual survivability.

as long they are similar and balanced. yes.

i’m struggling to understand your point here to be honest.

all i can think of, is your realism of producted numbers.

which…

it’s not the first time we have issues regarding stuff available in large quantities when in reality, they were not.

right?

What he mean is, why have something that was barely used, when you can have planes that were actually there, have same armament, and are almost same with performance.
Soo he says that it would be like if they gave Germans in Moscow He-112 instead of Bf-109.

Ok, lets make it simlpe.

Did Italians use RE2000? No, they sold it to Hungary and Sweeden. Did they use G50 and MC200? Yes they did. What do we have in game? RE2000 OMFG.

Did Germans use HE112? No, they sold it to Hungary and Romania. Did they use Bf109?
Yes they did. What do we have in game? Bf109 Thank you god they did this right.

Clear?

it’s nickpicking here though.

we could go on and on about others campaigns as well but…

those are airplanes, they get the job done. and that is all i’m afraid.

i don’t think it matters of our suggestions about changes.

tell me, one campaign that had it’s stuff changed because it wasn’t right?

perhaps you don’t know this, but the only actual time this happened, was during CAT and CBT when wipes were a thing.

none of older stuff ever changed since last CBT wipe. only and always introduction of newer levels for grinding…

it’s sad to say it, but it’s a lost cause.

we lost the opportunity to change the RE2000 because no one stood in the period of Tunisia CBT. which either way, might have leaded to no changement at all…

just saying.

Yeah, it really is. Next premium plane will probably be IAR81 then. After all it is in the Italian WT tree…

I am not talking about changing, but not making the same mistakes on new content all over again. And it is happening and will probably happen again as they don’t learn anything. But if RE2000 was in CBT and no one said anything, theeeeen … no one cares or no one knows.

Sadly I was not there. But this should be someones job and if it is he is doing a shit job. Period.

I do hope we will see Hungarian RE2000 (Heja) and Romanian IAR in future Stalingrad campaign.

Keep protesting and maybe it will make some difference in some future campaign.

or this ^

Nah, we will probably get some prototype that flew once. :clown_face:

I would rather than Stalingrad take Fall Blau as whole, as there could be Hungarian, Romanian, Italian and German squads. Or Slovakian squad as they fought on Caucasus during that time.

Yeah agreed, been vouching for changing the campaigns to whole fronts for a while now.

You forgot the most important nation (hint 369). And I was just beginning to like you. :sunglasses:
