RE: Advice on Tactics for McNamara Values
I am totally against changing any unit ratings because it would defeat the purpose of the Alt scenarios. However, pdt changes are not out of the question. The HA 17/1 for 76mm guns is not a bad idea but if you look at their new HA stand off range rating they are some of the best guns for that purpose, (a 6 or 7?). I don't think that most players would want to sacrifice their HA range like this in Kursk, but then again I could be wrong. I will look into it. But being that I am a slave to uniformity such a change would have to be done for all 76mm ZiS guns in the other PzCs with Alt scnearios.
Carpet bombing is highly effective yes. But when I am not hearing about the complaints that it is too effective (because it does not abide by the airstrike limit) then I am hearing about the complaints that it is ineffective (because it scatters). So I don't know what to say. Your opponent should not have stacked 120 guns in and around a single hex for one thing. These level bombers were devistating but they are not 100% accurate either. I have personally killed many of my own men using them, and anyone that does not and uses them on front line hexes is either lucky or saving and loading the turn. All in all, I think that the level bombers having CARPET status is realistic.
