A

If I may place my two cents, while the artillery branch in CoW consists both of field guns and howitzers, the way we use them is more like howitzers. I would propose that for RP purposes, artillery takes the place of howitzers while anti-tank represents field guns.
That said I'm not participating so this is just a suggestion.

We can always make Libya an autonomous region…

But yes that’s actually very smart, short range field guns and long range howitzers!

1916 maybe

Carking the 6th · Aug 19th 2023, 7:08pm

I like Crayfish’s idea. If that is so we can allow them in 1910! Of course that’s a big if.

I say that we let it in as soon as we permit tanks. If we don't, then axis nations can use the AA anti tank buff as improvised AT guns.

I’d see nothing wrong with them doing that. Since planes won’t be too important in this map and infantry will be in high numbers AA wouldn’t be that important anyway!

GeneralTanke · Aug 20th 2023, 8:07pm

Wouldn't it give them an advantage against heavy armor? Also, what are the rules for aviation?

TheZhukov · Aug 20th 2023, 8:28pm

no bombers until 1917

Then go ahead get what you want

Carking the 6th · Aug 20th 2023, 8:29pm

Ints at the start. Even Italy used planes with pilots that dropped grenades in 1911.

TheZhukov · Aug 20th 2023, 8:29pm

yes I specifically said bombers

Oh yeah I know I was just mentioning ints…

Should we use strategic bombers like Zeppelins?

And what about naval bombers?

TheZhukov · Aug 20th 2023, 8:32pm

We can use flyimg bombs as zepelins

Naval bombers in 1917

TheZhukov · Aug 20th 2023, 8:32pm

strats have to wait until 1917

Carking the 6th · Aug 20th 2023, 8:35pm

Flying bombs? Those are just missiles, they didn’t exist at the time and are a one time use think. I don’t think strategic bombers ever existed at this time, but Zeppelins did, and they’d be a good replacement.

TheZhukov · Aug 20th 2023, 11:35pm

ok

Carking the 6th · Aug 21st 2023, 1:04am

Isn’t 1917 too late? We’re not gonna have enough of them to actually make a unit useful if you gain it at that time.

TheZhukov · Aug 21st 2023, 1:05am

Well that is 9 days

bombers were not decisive weapons in world war 1
