Mjarr - Haven't found turbojet fighters in the Eastern Front. The only model 5 squardon is located in Amsterdam, Jagdgeschwader 400, which correctly was a squadron made of Me-163 rocket fighters.
Syntalynder - Thank you. Such a decision is up to the devs.
Grimlin - You mean if I should modify the divisions' models? Any input would be welcome since I don't know what to modify there. Actually, I did, since I gave the Soviets some 1943 infantry divisions.
I was thinking of giving the Balkans a high Revolt Risk, such as 40-50%. There are several German divisions there, and currently it makes no sense to leave them there, while IRL several battles have been fought there as the Axis had to commit a large number of men against Tito and his comrades.
Also, an important question. I've found out that you can assign a value greater than 100 to the strength of a division. So, setting the max strength of every division to 150-175 would remove the hassle (would have removed, had I known this beforehand) of creating new divisions in order to make up for the 10,000 men - 17,500 men discrepancy that exists between the HoI meaning of division and their RL counterparts.
On the plus side, setting a higher max_strength value means that:
- I could retain the original number of divisions without having to make up fictitious ones (every new division's name is a copy of another one with the suffix '(2)')
- You have way less divisions swinging around
- Stacking penalty won't be as high as having 600 Soviet divisions against 350 Axis ones (stacking penalty should be based on the total MP engaged in a battle and not on the number of divisions IMO, but that's another story).
- Wouldn't need to artificially inflate GER and SOV's IC in order to make up for the tremendous cost in terms of supplies of the new divisions.
On the negative side,
- It just doesn't feel right that every other scenario is based off the '1 division = 10,000 men' concept, and only this one should break this rule. Modifying this scenario doesn't mean upsetting the whole game settings behind it.
- I don't know if there would be balance issues with regards to divisions with more strength than 100. I have never seen this before and I don't know what wacky results it could lead to.
While the 175 strength division is somehow appealing, I have a fear that I'd... better not screw things up (i.e. if it ain't broke don't fix it). I need your input there, since I'd have to restart all over again (minus the research, of course) in case we want to adopt this configuration.
