Now you could attribute this to Air power, but that would fly wildly in the face of ground attack effectiveness surveys of the USA army (based on their own plane sorties conducted after the war, also sorry no link) in which they determined the Air force was woefully inadequate at engaging and destroying ground targets. Often cases, these units were the aforestated KV or T-34 battalions. This inconsistent reaction, coupled with the vast majority of Red Army forces being either on par with the German forces or vastly inferior in most metrics allowed the Germans to overrun and encircle any military unit they could not defeat in a direct engagement. In the case of Barbarossa the Red Army was reeling from the Surprise attack and the various Corps and Division commanders reacted with a huge variety of actions, some going straight into a counter offensive, some withdrawing, others staying put and fighting. Yes, both of those are important but they are never required, in game or IRL. A fast CVE instead of the CL.ĬA + Heavy Cruiser, CL = Light Cruiser, DD = Destroyer with torps, DE = Destroyer w depth charges, CV = Carrier, CVE = CA-sized fast carrierĪs Mister Analyst already pointed out - Mordred Viking has been very instructive in naval operations.You are really overrating air power, and the ability to frontally penetrate the enemy armour is also heavily overrated. Patrol/Convoy Escort mission: CL and 2 DD fleet. I'll throw in an old CV or CVE w a Ftr/CAS mix and pray they figure out what to do. Invasion support: 2-4 BB, 2-4 CL, 4-8 DE set to med risk Strike fleet - Strike Force:: 4 CA, 4 CL, 8 DD set to med risk - not as fast as raiders, but with more battery's/guns/torps/AA. Strike fleet - Convoy Raiding: 4 CA, 4 CL, 4 DD set to low risk - CA need to be fast w battery's, CL faster w rapid guns/AA, and DD w torps/AA. Subs - Patrol: Experimenting w throwing in fleets of three Cruiser subs set to low risk with extended range and spotter planes to help find enemy fleets in deeper zones. Subs- Convoy Raiding: max engines, max torps, snorkels not radar, set fleets of 10 to high risk, cover zones with scouts and/or patrols.
