Weak Supply systems of Supreme Ruler Cold War

[Cheapstake]

Right now in the SR series, the supplies are distributed through the system by default and are now available too easily. Although it is likely to adequately represent the potential supply today, the Cold War, water supply systems in the area are much weaker and more fragile. Perhaps only a large reduction in the amount of supplies that system can deliver to a hexagon will suffice. And a situation of Berlin Airlift even possible? Units should be able to supply the cities and towns how to cut off the supply would have to be changed.

That might be a strange situation. Perhaps the U.S. and the USSR will agree a form of air traffic, or something similar. I will make some comments here about things that bother me about the delivery system. The first is that the supply system gives too much emphasis on regular airports and roads, and nowhere near enough emphasis on the sea and the docks of the railroad on the road. The amount of tonnage that can be moved either by air or truck on a normal road is minuscule compared to what can be moved by rail and sea transport.

If implemented correctly there could be significant advantages to ground units with the possibility of making use of rail movement. This is especially true of the units of infantry and towed artillery leg. In fact, it is almost impossible to appreciate the impact that a good rail network may have no capacity. The third is that it should be possible to destroy roads and railways. Whether the use of engineers dismantling / destruction or use of enough high explosives through a delivery system for blasting cratered moonscape.

Yes, these attacks have featured prominently in military history and are the bread and butter of the guerrilla / partisan. Possibly in discussion with the new 3D graphics, it would be helpful if the graphics related to roads and railways could be modified to make it more obvious when roads and railways were present on the same hex. I would also like to see some type of filter available for you to eliminate all man made improvements on the map except the road network / rail so you can see exactly where transmission lines are running in highly urbanized areas.

The storage units would be an interesting method. Type of supply trucks as now, but on a larger scale, with a flow capacity. Allow supply nearby units, or replacing supply trucks returning. AI enable automation of supply trucks "target" of a unit and a deposit, and automatic traffic back and forth (to the station, next to the target drive, etc..) (And the manual control those who wish, of course) Of course, the provision of transport units (trucks, etc) should be much more numerous than exists today.

[MacIntel]

This would add a lot of real-world considerations. For example, a narrow corridor to be vulnerable to artillery fire from the flanks, air strikes, and therefore require air defense (AAA or CAP) to protect these arteries, etc. As it is, interdiction of supply is effectively does not exist. On the other hand, allows a more abstract "interdiction" mission that only reduces the levels of supply at that time whether the current system is maintained. EG: Hex plane hit a hard, beyond the hexagons are cut to a minimum for a while. Maybe to "destroy" some sources in the process, so it is also the loss of material to be beaten.

[Abbie]

I agree that the railway and ports must offer a degree greater supply. I would also add different types of roads. A "basic" and the way "better." Although it is least able to offer then the roads in SR2010. Despite a building that has to be added to facilitate the movement of trains. A head of train to the same effect as a dock or landing strip. I want to see cargo transport units to play a greater role when it comes to refueling. To remove the drives you want to watch "move down" to move units of ground transportation and "go down the lane" to pass through railway.

[Squibbit]

Rail plays an important role in the offer, and we are looking at the balance sheet of that. Seaports and a key source of provider in 2020. The thought of the units moving by bar is a bit more difficult, and is somewhat we have to weigh beside the outlay of micromanagement. Because it does not really work for the units to move faster in the lanes (as they do on the road) because there are way to combat ready. So we have to "pack up" and extract, as suggested before, and it seems that this may be a little messy. Directly attacking roads and railways is in real life, not at all useful, except for bridges.
