why the hell can only one dockyard be put on destroyers now? hella unecessary clutter even for black ice

@Old_newbie There are currently two means of reporting any issue with either BICE version <TEST or MAIN>

First is to post your issue here and I will personally relay it to our Discord Server for Dev response.

Second choice is to Join our Discord server and post the issue directly to the "Talk to the Developers" channel.

@darthkenson Hi, could you please state cuurrent method to report an issue which can get some attention from devs? Thank you in advance.

don't play this shitty mod the ai cheats

@darthkenson All right : ) ,thank you

@search fire 2333

unlikely

The Historical unit spawns and icons arent really supported anymore, which is why the default for the setting is "OFF"

@Dynamo Change out of whichever version of DX you are using for the opposite version. IE if you are on DX9 go to DX 11 and vice versa.

how can i fix the white boxes showing up on the models

any PLAN of historical events about panzer division 14-23 ?

@mk11 I was mostly exagerating with 90% org debuff, it is just I think the modders are big wehraboos, Soviets even lack basic tank models, descriptions etc. meanwhile Germany has like whole wiki articles in description of tech. I feel like USSR is just a big punching back for the modders, they give it every possible debuff. I have not played Germany but Germany should not get a buff removed during winter, it should get like massive debuffs during winter. at least in 1941. Pushing them in 1941 winter is nearly impossible as USSR.

How on earth do i build tanks as germany? All models say they need modules i cant select. I even did the all research cheat and after that i stil cant built them

@Kurita, if you have a 90% org debuff still you haven't done everything right. I end up with about equal mil factories to Germany (until need to start evacuating them). It is though hard to delay Germany. Your forces are useless for about 2 months after Barbarossa, then focus completion gives big boosts and Germany loses one of its buffs.

@Hakkapelita they give like 90% org debuff for USSR against Germany in 1941. Even if you do everything right it is just laughable hard to even hold Moscow imho. Germany has like double the war factories than the USSR.

@*WTF* Teddybear black ice is very unstable after 1945

I´m just sad that logic is thrown out of the window. Can´t put on one brigade on a sector, but enemy can put 12xDivisions on the same square without supply penalties. It has rained one year straight on one area, no historical captured equipment anymore just because you want to make things harder? Historical aspect should be the name of the game

units pack DLSs cannot work，Is it normal for this mod？Or is there any way to solve this problem

stop giving the AI massive cheats.

does any one else have the problem of always crashing around 1948 and unable to continue

where can i find a guide to this mod?

after starting the game the big dog gemba covers the buttons. no historical purposes. 1/10

will there be one an ability to have it set for ww1 as well or instead?

Hello? Can I ask what happened to all the ship sprite for the Japanese Navy? It seems to all been gone.

@darthkenson first of all thx for your answer, appreciate that very much, yes i ve been in the discord, unfortunately i didnt manage to see any interesting chats or write comments/posts, only welcome and announce section were open for me, as far as i remember. have a nice day!

I have a question, were did the performance tool go I can´t find it anywhere please help my PC is not liking anything past 1943.

are their plans for a plane designer in the coming year, or plans for the 44m tas tank to be added to Hungary

For some reason in the construction tab, all of the buildings for like Military and Civilian buildings plus every thing else are either 1. have the wrong logo, so my normal forts will have coastal fort photo, or some things are just not able to be build because they are off of the screen. Like the power plants, I cannot even build them because they are just replaced with the supply hubs and I cannot fix it for the life of me.

I can only confirm this retrospectively, especially in the Russian campaign, the deeper you advance, the worse the transport network becomes, especially in the northern sector, and in the south it is really bad. I myself sometimes only operate with a maximum of 2 army corps with 6 to 12 divisions each, it is simply not possible to supply more, and it takes time to build up the infrastructure, and that is precisely what makes BICE so special, since they try to create real (simulated) conditions...

@El Jeffe Epstein In a word:

No.

Replicating Actual logistics is part of BICE. In real life, nobody would send 75 Divisions into a combat zone if they could not be combat ready and fully supplied. It is essential to match the number of troops to the logistical ability of the area. Low supply/out of supply units are simply begging for destruction. Ergo, IMPROVE logistics as you advance and avoid the "BIG ARROW" battle plans :)

@david.macho Indeed there is no NEED to use DLCs with BICE. They do Provide certain unique FEATURES when employed tho.

NOTE: NO minor nations can design tanks which did not actually PRODUCE native models during the period between 1936-1945.

I suggest joining our Discord Server for more details on these matters. The link is on our Main Mod page.

Is there a way to turn off that abysmal "feature" of divisions not moving into a region because of sub-optimal supply? supply demand can be 0.1 over the limit and an entire army will refuse to move to the front unless manually walked because of this. I dont like babysitting 75+ infantry divisions.

no DLC required says darthkenson. I play minors like brasil, sweden - unable to design tanks, unable to lay mines, dont see CA/CL/BA/BB designs except 1922 models. how so? better buy DLC? THX

I think BICE Official Guide needs update regarding agencies

@Thesh

some tweaks have been made to ai strategy if i'm correct about the changelog

did you guys buff france? every time i have played this france has been relatively easy to knock out, now its hard asf

@ALL:

Test version updated again, Saves wrecked but MIO's are working much more like intended now

@Hakkapelita, I thought I fucked up china on my own some how. Japan changed it's name to Chinese Empire and ROC changed to something that starts with a "K". It only seems to be cosmetic though and hasn't changed faction or historical events. What's happening to your's?

Jesus guys you fucked up the china badly... reverse

@stali. Thanks for the advice. I'll try the settings the next time play. I'll have to look at the national focuses again. I did try allowdiplo and it still did not work.

um multiplayer doesnt work and the construction is bugged again

@SmokeYOU
You must change the settings ("declare war") from "focusses only" to (f.e.) "1938" BEFORE starting a new game...
As USSR you have a national focus for the winter-war ag. FIN (very small time window though)
And if you are really desperate you might use the "allowdiplo" cheat for declaring war anyways...

@Ramrod Neither version of BICE requires any dlc to play but there are SOME DLCs which add interesting facets.

does this mod require any DLC and if so which ones?

These have probably been answered before, but 1) Japan always declares war on the UK in January 1938. Why? 2) The justify war does not work for any major country I've played. The USSR always declares war on Finland as the AI but I cannot get it to trigger when I play the USSR.

@ALL

Also in the new TEST update today!!!!

fix for peace conference crash

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/changelog/1851181613

@ALL

Test version has been updated, Your saves are borked sorry. But the good news is we have MIO's for realzies so maybe that makes up for it
checksum is 5ffc

my capital shipyards, hydroelectric plants and research centres are unbuildable....so i cant build any

Game crashes at the end of the war in Europe, when the treaty is made

Does anyone know a Submod that adds a plane designer in?

@Reusablepear Think of it as a better simulation of Dockyard use. THREE dockyards used for a Capital ship, 2 used for a Cruiser, ONE for DD/De and submarines. There is no way 3 dockyards would work on a single sub.

On the other hand building a 10 15k ton Escort ship is no small task. They take a lot of resources and man-hours

is there a reason i can only assign one shipyard per ship now? it take a whole year to build one escort
