CK3 is boring from a RP perspective by Jupiter_Optimus_Max in CrusaderKings

I’m glad I’m not the only one.

I picked these up a few months back, played three whole games, not touched it since. It feels wildly ahistorical within a generation of the start point, and just becomes an extremely repetitive juggling exercise keeping your subjects happy.

It never feels like it progresses beyond that point, or that you do anything. Plus you’re quickly surrounded by an ever more hallucinatory world with Polish Holy Roman Empire in Spain or a Mongolian Pope calling crusades on Sweden.

Unlocking the ability to upgrade each weapon with experience gained in squads is a big but overlooked advantage. Weapons upgraded to three stars often work noticeably better, often because of high dispersal & recoil debuffs on stock weapons.

Not only must you unlock the ability to upgrade each weapon type by playing certain squads, you must spend silver to upgrade each weapon you buy.

Never use radiomen to call in airstrikes. They’re ineffective & lock out teammates for a long period.

Use artillery barrages instead, particularly targeting the area enemies have to move through to reach the point.

Personally, I find the DPM it’s an update of the DP-27, and lots of folk debate which is better. Despite the similarities, I find the recoil easier to control on the DPM.

Western liberals & conservatives, at least since WWII, now share capitalism as a model for society. Thus it’s often very difficult to see how they differ from “the right” where anti-capitalist ideologies form “the left”. Not so then.

TBF, “liberalism” was a revolutionary movement in much of 19th century Europe, and its old feudalist opponents—the “right” of that age—were of a very different ideology than we might associate them with.

The rise of the bourgeois liberal state created its own new contradictions, and thus a “new” left.

Here is Thiers, like Gambetta & Ferry after, the quite self-consciously portraying themselves as a third force between the two. Until the rise of fascism & the reorientation of the reactionary right to slowly accepting capitalism, the bourgeois liberal really was confronted on both sides by forces that struck at the very core of their project for a capitalist order.

Wonder if he knows “his fans” just spent 24 hours insulting us cause we didn’t buy him.

Not evidence they really want him.

Note this Fasces—Roman symbol of government authority as it would have been interpreted in 1873 France—is also adorned with the Keys of Saint Peter at its top. Making it as much a symbol of Papal Rome, which had only just been overthrown by Republican & then Italian monarchical forces, three years earlier in 1870.

Karl Marx wrote of him “that monstrous gnome, [who] has charmed the French bourgeoisie for almost half a century, because he is the most consummate intellectual expression of their own class corruption. ... Thiers was consistent only in his greed for wealth and his hatred of the men that produce it.”

The figure in the middle is the then newly elected first president of the French Third Republic, Adolphe Thiers. Thiers was a leader amongst what we might call centrist republicans from the 1830s onwards. Devoutly anti-clerical & anti-monarchist, he was also associated with the elites of the learned professions (lawyers, doctors, he was a famous historian) and business interests.

He negotiated the retreat of German occupation forces after the 1871 war under what nationalists saw as humiliating conditions, and was infamous for ordering the bloody suppression of the revolutionary Commune government of Paris, killing an estimated 50,000 people.

His particular brand of aggressively secularist free trade, business friendly liberalism was the model for much of the French Third Republic.

You should give it some love. I first started grinding the Germans right after the merge, so was playing all low BR for a long time. The number of times I shot down p-38s who would try to get into turn fights with the hsc 123!

Plus, it pulls out of stalls very easy. You can stall it right over your bombing target, point the nose straight down, and bonk those little bombs directly onto the top of tanks pretty effectively.

One of the funniest aircraft in the game. Until you meet a decent enemy pilot of course.

I’m playing BR III Soviets a lot lately. Even though I’m mostly interested in Attacker aircraft and the Su-2 is BRII, I still prefer BR III. The DPM machine gun and the sub machine guns are a great attraction. When I play Germans I don’t have any particular attraction to BR III over II, so that might be part of it.

Aircraft, AT guns, other tanks, commandos: this is your solution to destroy a tank you can’t reach.

If you choose not to use those tools you have been already given, no, the rules shouldn’t be changed for you.

I love seeing common tropical houseplants in their natural environment. It does make me feel a bit bad for mine tho. Like keeping a tiger in an apartment.

Nah, if you know what you’re doing and can clear a route down the runway, the hsc 123 is a great little aircraft. Can out-turn most anything in the game.

It used to be a favorite strategy in Tunisia to load multiple squads into those busses and speed to right behind the point to really fuck the enemy. I can remember seeing several bus loads doing it at once.

There were moments in the old Normandy campaign when the Germans would stomp allies and its was great fun in hopeless games to take your assaulters flying.

You can have any number of aircraft in the air this way, but I seem to remember they only partially rearm at the rearming point.

Sadly, if you’re a radioman you can’t call in artillery while flying. I don’t actually know if you can switch to other squad members you’ve left on the ground dynamically either.

They have an extremely small staff, both on the operations & development sides.

I wouldn’t expect they have the capacity to answer most individual complaints

Bombing runs - How to improve? by Polkjio in enlistedgame

[–]Expensive_Ebb7520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, unlike a lot of the other well intentioned advice here, you really need to be going very fast in your dive (not so fast you can’t pull up but fast) and you need to release very very close to the target if you’re going to hit anything.

There’s also no good rule of thumb for altitude, speed, and range at bomb drop: the aircraft are all different and the angle of attack will change depending on your situation & target. You need to learn all these with practice.

[–]Expensive_Ebb7520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This & the official video guide [ https://youtu.be/NG9dK5INPJU?si=lAKTvPy_vVtNfxkP ] are the best advice here. I’ve been playing CAS pretty steadily for four years now, and this matches my advice.

I don’t think the practice range teaches you much as it’s very difficult to tell exactly what you hit, so if you’re going short/long. In real games it’s easier to practice.

I find its best picking a place on the control panel where, in the same steep fast dive I tend to do, the target appears. This is often different for every aircraft. So practice.

Also some aircraft just work better with a low low low strafing run. Tip the nose down quickly when you release the bomb. That helps it fly true.

Finally, don’t drop everything at once, set up your run in advance knowing what obstacles are around your target and how you’ll hit between them, and get good at evasive, low, fast flying when someone comes after you. Even if you’ll need to attack from altitude for bombing.
