rustic python
what i dont like about vanilla is that attrition doesnt really do anything serious
"For 100% attrition and 0% reliability, about 12% of equipment will be lost per day. For 5% attrition and 80% reliability, which are very common conditions for training divisions that use a lot of infantry equipment, 67 days of training (enough to go from Green Green to Trained Trained) will cost about 8.04% of equipment."

looking at romania
remote quarry
you can click on it and see
rustic python
its super low tho
rustic python
this is same as base game
the actual equipment loss is much lower tho as this is just a multiplier
remote quarry
the actual equipment loss is much lower tho as this is just a multiplier
well this you need to check the defines
rustic python
youll basically never get over 10% actual attrition ona unit in vanilla
10% meaning the unit can walk through the desert for a month and lose less than 10% of its equipment in the process
youll average 6% in the roughest terrains and 1.5% in normal terrain
while in actual ww2 the main loss for all types of equipment was attrition
for planes it was 40-60% were always unavailable due to maintenance and repairs
tanks depending o nterrain had a 25-50% breakdown rate in 30 days
while in vanilla its 2%, 6-7 if youre being super harsh with them
remote quarry
youll basically never get over 10% actual attrition ona unit in vanilla
also wrong
it's lower if anything
in vanilla it's 0.1, in bice it's lowered to 0.03
rustic python
yeah because reliability is totally different in bice
remote quarry
yeah because reliability is totally different in bice
no
mod does not change how the game works
remote quarry
while in vanilla its 2%, 6-7 if youre being super harsh with them
also this makes no sense
rustic python
reliability numbers are different
remote quarry
the issue with the game is that you normally don't take attrition
rustic python
you average equipment has 50-60% reliability
remote quarry
if you move on a non-attritioning tile with no weather
there is zero percent attrition
rustic python
also this makes no sense
test it out
remote quarry
test it out
i kno whow vanilla works
rustic python
well then how many out of 1000 tanks will you lose if you walk in a desert for 30 days
with 100% reliability
and then with 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, etc
remote quarry
reliability numbers are different
this is true, it's compensated by the define changes though. overall you should have similar attrition
remote quarry
well then how many out of 1000 tanks will you lose if you walk in a desert for 3...
at 0% reliabiluty, you lose 54%
since desert has 15% attrition
assuming it's not also hot
so like at 90% you lose 5.4%
remote quarry
attrition is exponential with slight losses in reliability
not true at all
rustic python
not true at all
test it
remote quarry
it is exactly linear after the update
rustic python
oh
remote quarry
i know how the game works and it has been tested
rustic python
since what update
rustic python
no its exponential
remote quarry
it's just that there was a rounding error in attrition
ok then you are just completely wrong
idk what to tell you
rustic python
it has been
at least
weve tested it for weeks, dont worry
reliability does also affect after combat equipment losses btw
remote quarry
reliability does also affect after combat equipment losses btw
ofc
remote quarry
weve tested it for weeks, dont worry
as i said, it's either an artefact from the older version due to rounding

in the new version it's exactly linear

in the new version it's exactly linear

if you don't test with like 95% reliability equipment
also this bice doctrine looks so stupid
why the hell would you go anything other than methodical

also this bice doctrine looks so stupid
wdym?
remote quarry
all other doctrine were like 5% here and there and then methodical give 15% planning on one node

one node from methodical is like better than other doctrines combiend

you cant choose it freely
most countries have designated doctrines
you barely ever use battleplans in bice tho so its kinda useless to have planning bonuses

remote quarry
15% planning is 15% free stats
rustic python
5 tanks lost to attrition with 75% reliability
out of 40 tanks
19 with this guy
out of 40 tanks
so 4 times the attrition loss with just 10% less reliability
so my 75% reliability tank loses 12% of the equipment
while my 63% reliability tank loses 50% of the equipment
in the same division
remote quarry
so 4 times the attrition loss with just 10% less reliability
how did you test it
rustic python
i ran through the desert for 30 days
😄
its either because of the mod
or its a rounding issue in the formula
we tested it in vanilla tho
7 mod developers tested it and they were like wtf the loss is exponential
must be due to rounding as you said
because according to the defines and the formulas it shouldnt be that way
anyways for me bice is more fun than vanilla but thats just me i can be weird at times
remote quarry
i ran through the desert for 30 days
now try it in a division with 500 tanks
do you see something different
also make sure they actually take the same attrition
running in desert is not the best method since there could be heat
and stuff
rustic python
they were i nthe same division so yeah
remote quarry

cant believe this cruel (cruel) ruling has made the christmas message slightly worse
rustic python
an F2 did now slip in there one second
rustic python
do you see something different
now that desert thing was with the heat attrition too
if you test it in mountains for example it becomes more interesting
the 75% reliability tank loses 5 equipment again
the 63% one loses 12 equipment
so 100 something % more than the other one
but an increase of the multiplier for example an extrta 20% due to heat causes the lower reliability tank to lose 400-500% more equipment
remote quarry
the 63% one loses 12 equipment
be mindful of randomness
also
better test with like 50 divs of the tank
rustic python
yeah you gotta test like a hundred times
remote quarry
this is with 400 tank in a div
basically that you expect
heavy tank has 50% and light tank has 65%

Thing is another issue is that you'd have to deal with a bunch of new things
Vanilla Hoi they can easily add new achievements since they have all the files at hand, but if you add a whole bunch of other mods that you don't have the files for and are controlled by whole new teams
Plus the issue of what if the mod just stops being updated
Also I don't think you can add achievements for workshop stuff unless you straight up integrate the mods into the base game which opens up a whole new can of worms

Oh RIP
BTW Casey what doctrines would you recommend for a special forces build and then what would you recommend for an infantry build

I don't what happened in your game.
If you're playing on non-his, they sometimes fall into a civil war when becoming commuinist or democratic.
And even if that's not the case, Italy tends to be very sensible, when it uses their colonies.
If they lose Libya, Ethipia and the greek Islands - it can be enough to trigger a civil war.

Why does this game not save war justifications 😭
icy crescent
What you mean "save"?
harsh torrent
Like I've justified war, I save so if i screw up the war I can reset cuz I'm new, and as expected I screw up the war. I return to said save, and I have to rejustify even though in that save I'd already done it
icy crescent
Like I've justified war, I save so if i screw up the war I can reset cuz I'm new...
That shouldn't be like that.
Maybe you saved before justifying?
Or missed the justification notification?

after that maybe gottedammerung and by blood alone

how vital is by blood alone?
misty fossil
BBA gives a plane designer
guess who's bad at air design? the ai
so you get more efficiency per ic than the ai and its easier to win the air war
misty fossil
technically
that is assuming you use the correct air designs and MIOs
what dlc are mios from?
but gottedammerung is also good
frail canyon
what dlc are mios from?
isn't it gottedammerung?

no
