PZC System not much being said

[cavalry corps]

There is an interesting thread about Defending the Reich below this, looks like a great game and i will get it .

Thre is little talk here these days about improving the PZC machine , its not perfect . Some time ago half the posts were about issues like ZOC , supply , movement etc

Now it seems to be a little more than a boad to chivy your opponent into a move or indeed find one .

So here is an ideas just for now ...

I would like to see units that fire at a stack not being able to select a unit but have it choosen , the biggest gamey issue i have is this at the moment . Getting rid of target selection will also stop all this dancing about in EA42 ( still a big problem ) Please tell me why its realistic to be otherwise .I could accept a unit with a higher hard attack value always defaults to that target so AT guns mainly fire at tanks

Second

I think thet the AA needs looking at

Either AA units need a big improvement or AA values could be taken from Inf / armour units as these big battalion stacks are the most dangerous , esp Russian Cavalry !!!!!!!!and I avoid them thats stupid . Stacking up should be penalised not encouraged when attacked by aircraft . Level bombers should all be designated as carpet types ( say all units over 10 planes ) as they carry a number of bombs but are far less accurate than FB or CD or F for sure .So should be able to miss( even hitting your own guys , that happend and still happens in 2000+AD ) .
Targets for attacking bombers should be choosen at random ... not allowing you to go for one 88 amoungst 1600 men and half tracks However units with higher hard attack values may attack armour in pref to soft targets

OK thats my 2c or as we say 2p
