  • Some RtW3 commentators have a downer on heavy cruisers because the battle generator pits them against battlecruisers too often. It's not a problem I have found. And here is a demonstration of what a good CA can do against a 3-cruiser force. Take away, Scharnhorst!

    Considering the break in play Dickie, I think we'd all benefit from an entire '35 to present day recap, including details such as what your destroyer captains ate for breakfast each day and full maintenance logs of each vessel. Including such information as paint quantities used, methods for application and the status of the barnacles on each ship currently in service and in mothballs.
    Just to jog the memory.
    In all seriousness, its good to have you back.

      Building subs as Germany is an existence expense. You have your maintenance budget, your crew wages, your research, and your monthly allotment of submarines.

    • @RvTWargames
      @RvTWargames  7 місяців тому +1

      The subs are bringing Britain and France to their knees, while the surface feet's victories are keeping up national morale and keeping unrest in check. It's a two handed strategy.

      @@RvTWargames Look you can absolutely win this game by building nothing but subs, the problem is that there is no actually game play associated with subs. It is by far and away the most boring system in the game. Push button to build subs, move them or don't, some merchants sink, sometimes that matters to the outcome of the war and sometimes it doesn't.

    Submarines are so hot right now.

    Glad you are back to hopefully, regularly scheduled broadcasting for this play-through.

    • @RvTWargames

      Yes, the submarine game is much better, but you have to work it out yourself (with a little help from your friends) on how to use them.
      I would love to see zone by zone reporting off hour the submarine war s going.

    Lovely to see you back Dickie, after such a long break. Those 8 weeks felt more like 8 months, but at least your building works are done, and we can once again enjoy your excellent videos. That Cruiser battle was great to watch, and the Scharnhorst really pummelled those British cruisers. Great result, and look forward to the next one.

    Great to see this back
    When reviewing the log entries for the CL Comus you missed the "Turret Flash Fire - Two turrets burnt out" message - that would explain the lack of return fire...
    Regarding your economy - given the quantity of subs building and the state of the finances, might it be a good idea to stop the auto builds ?

    • @RvTWargames
      @RvTWargames  7 місяців тому
