Unit Errata

[Aragos]

The USA can build both the Los Angeles class SSNs and Ohio Class SSBNs as soon as they get Sub III.

Basically, they can build most of their Cold War subs at the same time (normally about 1948 for me).

Most of the heavy WW2 era AA guns have too low anti tank ratings. These guns were able to fire high velocity, high caliber anti tank rounds capable of defeating most of WW2 era tanks. German 88mm flak was famous for being used in anti tank role, but all of these type of weapons were very potent in destroying tanks. Their weakness was very high profile and vulnerability to ground fire (in game terms - poor ground defense).

since in the game these guns have very poor at ratings (lower than early war 37mm AT guns, I think that should be corrected.

Some review done for the update after 9.0.26.

20951 - No icon, still, for CA45 Wichita. Latest update left the picture in 'stealth' mode.

incorrect, it is fixed, but you have to start a new game to see content changes. Savegames can't be fixed.

Observation: Of the US patrol aircraft available in the 36 Sandbox, only the PBY Catalina has an ASW value.

Suggestion: Nearly all patrol aircraft, of all nationalities, had some ASW capability, from bombs, torpedoes and/or depth charges.

Some later US PTR aircraft have ASW capabilities, but not the bulk (sans the PBY) of the World War II era aircraft.

At a minimum, most seaplane PTR should have a minimal ASW capability (if only 5 points or less) to reflect the ability to drop depth charges.

[Aragos]

1940 Sandbox: The USA has several Consolodated PBY's (not the PBY Catalina) available at start, but the aircraft is not available until Air Force 43 tech.

Recommend deleting the aircraft and replacing it with the PBY Catalina, or adding the designs to the USA OOB.

These may have been mentioned before: The German sdkfz 251 Inf halftrack, US M3 halftrack, and the two Japanese models (units 180, 181, 182 & 184) cost approx 5-10 times that of contemporary units. They are ~0.6m each, whereas something like an LVT-4 of the same era is ~.09. (LVT 4s having a full platoon of marines vs a single squad as well).

One "real world" comparison, the Sdkfz 7 infantry in game cost is 0.055m, less than 1/10th that of the sdkfz 251 (0.59). In reality, an SdKfz 7 cost ~35,000 RM to produce, the '251 ~23,000.

These 4 should probably have a zero inserted behind the decimal.

And that is probably one of the main reasons why Germany, US and Japan builds monunted infantry instead of the halftracks.

Yeah; sans serious combat stat boost or a price slash so good the commercial would feature Albert Speer at the Hanomag dealership in a straight jacket because he's reducing prices so much he must be crazy, they're definitely going to get overlooked, by human & AI alike.

The USA Mercator PTR has an ASW factor of 150.

Just noting that it is the only aircraft I've seen with that sort of rating. Probably accurate, but it is the only one with such sub-killing power.

[Zuikaku]

most patrol aircrafts should have some kind of ASW power. Now, most of them don't...

"Most" is vague. Examples of ones that should be don't please.

I only know, from playing as USA, that only the PBY Catalina and the Mercator have ASW capabilities, at least until more modern a/c show up. My bet is that is pretty much the same for other countries as well.

Honestly, I agree with Z. Most PTR should have a minimal ASW capability to reflect their use as ASW a/c, especially in the WWII era. Most carried bombs, torpedoes, mines or depth charges that could be aerially delivered and were effective in defeating subs (especially in the North Atlantic).

The same for most torpedo planes (ex: The Devastator and Avengers both were used in an ASW patrol role).

I can do this when I get home.

what about halftracks and bf-109s-/Bf-110svand overpowered defense ratings of T-35 ?
