Something's in the air tonight

Generals,

our research teams have been making quite some progress: the second new weapon system has also been uncovered. The Self-propelled Anti Air might turn out to be a crucial point in your strategic outline! These units offer:

  • They belong to the “hard” armor class.
  • They move with high speed.
  • In order to keep a good balance, they have decreased defense and attack values.

The Headquarter has also been working on improvements, the following issues have been cleared:

  • The forum stability has been increased to assure uninterrupted availability.
  • Every Anti Air ground unit in patrol range of an Aircraft will now cause full damage instead of the previous down scaled damage.

After thorough considerations and evaluation of your feedback, we have been tipping the scale of balance once more. Some units, like the Cruiser, have been undergoing a slight redefinition to raise their attractiveness. The Submarine on the other was perceived as too strong by the community, which made us review this unit as well. The following adjustments have been done to improve your gaming experience:

  • The oil costs for Tactical Bombers have been increased.
  • For Naval Bombers, the oil costs have been lowered.
  • The oil costs for most naval units have been increased.
  • Submarine damage has been lowered a bit.
  • The Anti Air capabilities of Cruisers have been heavily increased.
  • The Anti Air capabilities of Battleships have been lowered.
  • Convoyed units now have a bit of Submarine defense
  • The Submarine defense of Battleships has been slightly increased.
  • The damage of Strategic Bombers against ground units & buildings has been slightly increased.
  • The range of Strategic Bombers has been increased by 10%.
  • Naval bombers now have a bigger radius which they can uncover.
  • Decreased Anti Air values of Infantry,Militia, Mot. Infantry and Mech. Infantry.
  • The manpower costs of Ships have been lowered.
  • The manpower costs of Planes have been raised.
  • Self-propelled Artillery has now an increased range.

A comprehensive list will be posted in the forums.

Agreed. Devs got too carried away with too much crap like nukes and rockets. Ruins the game. Had it been just WW2 it would be a great game. Having an entire stack of tanks nuked or hit by a rocket is just lame. You want nukes? Then find a game about Nuke age war. This should have stuck with the period pieces only.

It still is a great game, as I've said before you don't need to upgrade past 1942 and you don't have to use what you think ruins the game. If it's so crap why are you still playing? And errr, if any of you want a cold war game made by Bytro... vote here >>>>Supremacy 1991?

British=best. Duh!

They have gear from before, during and after the war. It is not 1932-1942 nor anything else EXCEPT what it really is, 1932-1965.

Mess with the Bill, you get the scorn!

Bill you can't read can you...the game is called Call For War 1942 and I have been scolded many times by admins when they say no SS references, the game is set from 1932-1942 ...now nukes were not on the battlefield during such a time and either you and the Bytro need to get it together or stop advertising a WW2 based game


It is because of men like Stalin,&Hitler , that there is a place called Hell.

You can't do research, can you? The most modern unit is the Leopard 1, which was made in 1965. Therefore the game runs until 1965.

and I agree with Hoffman....nukes are lame....makes the game more of a fantasy war game than historical....how many nations go around nuking divisions and cities these days or even during the 40's and 60's...the developers tell me it's a WW2 32-42 game and guys like you tell me it's a cold war game...Love the game play itself ...wonderful game...nukes kill the 1932-1942 as advertised ploy...maybe Bytro should drop the 1942 from the name

Don't be a Hoffman. Don't play a game of Detraz. It will only end badly.

Nah..it's just a minor thing...nothing that kills the game for me....lol

I much prefer it remain purely WW2. Nukes were pacific theater, not Europe, so it already has a over ripe feel to the game. Perhaps a map without all the higher end units that spoil that WW2 feel for us more hardcore WW2 players.
If Germany had not surrendered the US would have used a nuke. This game is historical in some aspects like weapons/units but us players have the freedom of choice. France is able to wipe out Germany, Yugoslavia could take over all of Europe. I dont think it spoils the WW2 feel because we have the choice of going whatever direction we choose. I suggest you roleplay with some RPers. There are threads in this forum where you can find some players to play with. That why you can play it historically as it was. :)

I'm just not a fan of the cold war area..as I lived through it myself and like the WW2 setting that the game started out as. Still the game is my favorite online game until they make a better version of PanzerGeneral for MMO lol

I love how you guys act like nukes weren't used in World War II...

Also, this is a game, not a documentary. That means events can play out DIFFERENTLY from history. If countries wanted to develop different technology, I'm sure they could have. If you want the game to be more realistic regarding rockets and nukes, here's a thought: don't research them. Or find co-players who won't.

salbalkus....I forgot Germany was nuking Britian and Russia was nuking Finland....besides the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan by the USA...no nation was launching nuclear warheads during the WW2 era...the bomb didn't hit the battlefield till the end of the war...was developed more in the 50's and by the 60's the fear of nuclear missles was present...should Adolf Hitler had an atomic bomb from 1932-1945 the D-Day landing would have never come nor the Russians from the east...

I guess you really don't like reading huh?

Nah, Germans would've had nukes if the Nords had just bowed down and not destroyed their heavy water plant.

As for Russia, America made nukes for Russia. Indirectly, of course. I think they had plans and maybe even one nuke in the 40's.

Just for your information, Bill wants Nazi UFOs.
The past is a foreign country.

You mean Arabic, right? Muslim isn't a language.

Germany was not only developing atomic plans but also sending men into space...the US got much from them and thus the techs used by NASA were from German scientist...bad side is they used POWs of a certain race to test the effects of space on man...
