Re: Tips and Tricks
If any ship with land-supply output is on a port-hex next to a village-/town-/city-hex then it's output is doubled! After noticing in the editor, I saw it's also mentioned in the manual, but I bet not many know that. I guess reading carefully the manual is also a useful tip! :D Wow, nice find. Didn...

Re: Weather
I am actually split on this issue. One of the reasons why I like OOB more than PzC is of reduced randomness (in combat) and increased predictability (lower damage per area - units can't move after attack, steady income per turn). Random weather effects in PzC can completely ruin you strategy. It fee...

Re: Kriegsmarine - Thumbs Down
I don't understand those people who claim they don't care about historical accuracy. Why is it a nitpick to expect a game supposedly about WWII to be historically accurate? Let me clarify that. I care about historical accuracy and I would like it to be as historically accurate as reasonably possibl...

Re: Kriegsmarine - Thumbs Down
What I am concerned most about is the response from the Dev which partly comes across as "I'm too busy getting the next DLC out to address the issues or fix the bugs in the one we just released." Why not slow down a bit and apply the final fixes and polish the DLC's require instead of wor...

Re: Kriegsmarine - Thumbs Down
Hmm, although it's not altogether unsurprising i think that it might be misunderstood what some people are trying to say here. I don't think anybody in this particular topic is claiming that there isn't enough DLC being released. I also don't think that most people who claim that things are unreali...

Re: Scapa Flow Attack - any tips?
I recommend viewing my Kriegsmarine replay thread for detailed instructions on how to beat it.
I took down the carrier by using two submarines and one torpedo Stuka. If you have two torpedo Stukas you should be fine.

Unique units ideas
Just a random idea for some late German campaign: Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte It's a super heavy tank that dwarfs both Maus and IO tanks. Could be also a German specialisation. Maybe it could be part of some special missions as auxiliary unit since having it in your core forces would probably be imbal...

Re: Kriegsmarine - Thumbs Down
I must say that the last scenario was really a letdown. It wasn't challenging at all (middle difficulty). Also I was saving RPs to upgrade to O-class cruisers and H-class battleships and the campaign suddenly ended. I did some research in the editor and I found type XXI submarine (German u-boat). It...

Re: Seaplane Fighter needs tender, airfields do not work?
BTW, in "Western approaches", how do you actually deal mine damage? I finally managed to put a cohesive minefield into the path of one convoy which wasnt spotted, the supply ships ran into two of them... and took zero, I mean zero (!) damage twice. Twice. You need to inflict decimal damag...

Re: Kriegsmarine let's play (replay style)
New scenarios: Scapa flow Atlantic Diversion This concludes this DLC. Overall I think in terms of game mechanics the campaign was good, but I found it a little bit lacking on the content side. This is definitely my least favourite DLC. Here are some of my recommendations for the devs to look at: - S...

Re: Kriegsmarine: French can't be helped
There is no helping the French. Everyone knows that French are very bad at fighting in actual war, even their version of Swiss knife only has a bottle opener and a white flag in it. On a more serious note, this objective can only be achieved if you can deploy Stukas. This requires you to have a cert...

Re: Seaplane Fighter needs tender, airfields do not work?
Okay, finished this now. 40 turns and glad it is over. BTW, that was my second playthrough of this mission and I kinda knew what was about to happen. And this is just the third mission and I feel already terribly annoyed. I recommend you to look at my replay of this missions (played on middle diffi...

Re: Seaplane Fighter needs tender, airfields do not work?
It's not as bad as in the original OOB. I use the Scharnhorst class battleship. They have equal speed to cruisers and even have torpedos.Andy2012 wrote: 2. Avoid battleships like the plague. Too expensive, slow, prime target, no torpedoes, long-range guns useless.

It's certainly possible to achieve victory. Have a look at this thread and find a replay of the scenario. You can watch the replay and see how to complete the objective.

Look at this thread and find a replay of that scenario. You can then watch it and you will see how to get the objective.
I used the bombers to lay mines in front of the supply ships and I also inflicted decimal damage with my ships on the supply ships before they ran into the mines.
