No, units names are not my work. Firstly their names were like: Light Tank 1, 2, 3... Medium Tank 1, 2, 3... and so on. Someone from polish forum just replaced these names with historical ones, I don't know who exactly. But there are still errors and gaps in these names, especially in Allies and Soviet tech group.
Terrain speed modifiers are still tested.
http://www.stratisimperia.pl/pl/forum/topic?id=734Don't have time or need to translate all of it, but generally I agree with you:
"To wstępnie sugerowane wartości dla czołgów, reszta odpowiednio, biorąc pod uwagę jedną rzecz: pojazdy kołowe powinny mieć ogólnie wyższe prędkości maksymalne, ale znacznie większe minusy do ruchu poza drogą"
Which means that wheeled units should be generally faster but also shoud have bigger terrain penalties than tracked ones.
For med tanks I suggested something about:
-20-30% on plains (they never move with max speed off the road)
-60-80% in forests
-100-130% on swamps
-150%-180% on high mountains
This means that really hard terrain like swamps and high mountains is impassable for them (speed lower than 0) unless you build a decent roads. And this is also the way to make mountain infantry and marines more essential units, because for now they are nothing more than cannon food.
And in hardcore version - some penalties are equal to -200%. You can't move tanks over high mountans and that's it. Period.
First point in that topic is about recons. Lvl 15 Axis ones have max speed 98 km/h which is way too much. In addition there is a bonus from the roads. At lvl 20 they give you +100% speed, so recons can move even at 200 km/h speed on plains, which is ridiculous. That's why I compared them to german Porsche 911, which first version is from 1963 year AFAIK. And it is a sport car, not a combat one
As you can see there is still much to do, but devs just have more important task to do right now, like fixing critical errors. And one of them recently became father, beat that.
Game is playable for now and every few days or weeks they make some changes, so consider yourself as a lab rats and it should be fine
That's why i'm encouraging you to write your suggestions on english game forum.
We are also talking on forum about licensed production. As long as you have permission you can build units of country that gave you that permission. But I don't know when or even if it will be implemented.
