Is line arty worth it in single player
high vector
Is line arty worth it in single player
it's not bad
9 inf 1 art
and then there's a subdoctrine of superior firepower doctrine i think that makes the combat width of line arty go down and buffs it
polar radish
it's not bad
It has no org tho, hence why it’s not meta
eternal aspen
so NCNS content might not be fully implemented in OWB
eternal aspen
Is line arty worth it in single player
it's pretty good
high vector
It has no org tho, hence why it’s not meta
the trade off for some lost org is higher defense and soft attack
eternal aspen
i did 12/3 with Philippian manpower to defend the island
high vector
if you go with mission type tactics in your operations doctrine it won't be an issue
eternal aspen
so that Japan couldn't take an inch of my colonial holdings
high vector
interesting
eternal aspen
no
trust, it is
it is pretty good for coastal defence
and is decent when the enemy doesn't have it
but it's useless when you're shelling them and they shell you
lilac ginkgo
trust, it is
yes but not for actual divisions
for line holding infantry or coastal divs it workas
works
eternal aspen
yh
it's okay to use SPG's in your tank div, as it helps with soft attack
but you don't really need artillery at all for offensives unless you're fighting say, china as japan
lilac ginkgo
i usually dont do tanks
i just do good infantry and thats that
i dont need anything else
in mp sure
but singleplayer no
or well i do tanks but cheap ones
quasi osprey

is it not possible to start a naval invasion from a nation that i got military access?
polar radish
tanks work better
36w inf spam and battle plan grinding your opponents out of equipment is meta for many nations
eternal aspen

i love them
even infantry centralized, tanks are amazing
get a LT recon in there just for the armour, and you've got a good division

Anchluss requires over 50k infantry equipment. Do I need 50k infantry equipment in stockpiles or in the divisions?

i dont think you need equipment
eternal aspen
Anchluss requires over 50k infantry equipment. Do I need 50k infantry equipment ...
in divisions
iirc it's 50k infantry equipment to make tank only harder

because i need to be independent
