Note that these units are optimized historical accuracy and not gameplay. Since I covered the historical division setups in the original video, I will not narrate the whole setup again, so if you are interested in the background and haven’t see the original video you might want to check it out beforehand, it is mostly military history. For some reason I neglected the ingame number of guns and used the German Infantry division as reference, whereas in this video I will set the ingame numbers in direct reference to the historical numbers. Third, in my original video I was far too strict on the anti-tank units. This allows a bit more fine-tuning, but also note that the support units have special characteristics ingame that I won’t cover here. Basically, a regular combat unit has 50 % more guns than the support version. Second, I missed that the number of guns in the support units for anti-tank, artillery, and anti-aircraft is less than that of the regular combat battalions. For this reason the number of artillery units in my original videos were way too high.

Whereas a historical artillery battalion had 12 guns the ingame has 36.

The first part, the ingame artillery battalions are actually 3 historical artillery battalions, additionally the game files calls them artillery brigade. Now, when I did my first video I missed a few things that lead to several errors, most notably:ġ) Initially, I wasn’t sure if the Artillery Battalions ingame were actually artillery regiments or not.Ģ) I missed that the support units have less equipment and guns than their equivalent regular combat units.ģ) I assigned far too small numbers of anti-tank units in the original video. In both cases I didn’t have time to check them out thoroughly, but from their conduct, comments and the data I looked at, I have a good initial impression. Second, the paradox user elfiwolfe for giving a lot of good feedback and creating a wiki page with divisions that are derived from my layouts with additional ingame values. Now, there are two people I want to mention explicitly:įirst, the steam user ramadawn, who created a mod with various historical divisions, which is also available on the steam workshop. Thank youįirst, thank you all for the great feedback, especially on the paradox forums. Since my first historical division layout video was a major success and a lot of people asked for more, I will do more, but first I have to address the errors in my original layouts, so here is a short update were I discuss the errors, some community contributions and of course the updated layouts briefly.
