About CC and equipment

Post by Dimitris GR » 2021-11-24 16:07, Wednesday

Is it possible to play a CC (eg cc56) and play with other e-file that has abilities for units?
Or if there is a way that add the abilities to the e-file of the CC?

Please keep in mind that CC are played with the intention to compare results between players. Therefore it is necessary that every players uses the same efile and campaign versions. But of course you can edit everything to you liking for "private" use.

No, that is not possible. You would have to do a full transformation of the campaign to the new efile and would have to check every single unit and testplay every scenario, etc.

Of course there is a way, but you need to add unit specials/abilities or attachments for every single unit in the efile. Then you have to add attachment variables to the cfg files and so on...
Keep in mind that most CCs are very very old and there were not many unit specials in the past and no attachments... You would also wreck the balance of the campaign and the intentions of the designer.
It would be easier to build everything from scratch than converting a very old campaign to modern standarts :2cents

too old? :no
I think the combination of 88 mm Flak with SdKfz. 251/1 is ingenious, because it gives the AD the possibility to get enough experience. It would never do that if it only waited for passing aircraft. And an experienced AD is very advantageous in this campaign :yes !

The CC56 requires a lot of patience and a good plan in terms of purchasing and upgrading. There are many good ways to upgrade units for free or switch between their functions (e.g. SS-INF and SS-Bridge Pioneers). It also makes sense to invest in Soviet weapons. However, these are only available once in the 3rd scenario.
Be sure to set the AI to 25%!
You also don't have to worry about not having enough prestige. If you read my AAR's you will see that I have saved a lot of prestige. After 29 scenarios my army costs about 39k prestige and I have another 28k reserve - without a liberator leader.

And if you really play the campaign, remember that it can't be won with a lot of INF, like you try to do in randowe's Atomic World War.

By the way, there's nothing wrong if you don't manage all the scenarios. Already with 15 won scenarios you will be entered in the SoH as Troopie, with 20 scenarios as NCO. You should be able to manage that ... :yes

As i read your AAR, i see that at your 2nd scenario, you buy 2 tanks, 2 arty 5 range, you upgrate 2 tanks and only sale 1 small arty.
I have 1200pp (more than you because i did not buy AD but inf in the 1st scenario) and with my pp i can't buy all theese. Maybe you add theese units during the scenario??? :dunno :dunno :dunno

It's been 1.5 years again, but I think I bought some units during the scenario. Unfortunately, I didn't mention anything about it in the AAR :bonk .

In the CC56 campaign, there are always three Airtransport available, but it makes no sense to buy more than three "Jagdkommando". INF becomes less important as the campaign progresses. Instead, the importance of tanks and fighters increases more and more. In the worst case the opponent (100 units) has 30% - 35% tanks/SPAT, 30% fighters/fighter-bombers and the remaining % are shared by all other types of units, with the number of INF decreasing.
