Are rifles replaceable when new model comes out like in HoI3?

Are rifles and artilleries replaceable when new models comes out like in HoI3?

Way better than in HOI3 because you have to actually build enough of the the equipment you want to give to your troops.

You can also chose which equipment your division templates should use (if available).

For exemple giving the best one to frontline units and old one to garrison divisions or for training purposes.

Nice, i like to make use of equipment and equipment management. having only battles is boring. some other tools to enjoy are pretty cool

you will even capture enemy equipment at various times and can have your troops use it

I don't think that made it in

 

[Dai2]

It did, it did, daniel used extensively the rifles from the tchecs for his hungary stream, as well as support equipment from romania (in fact he got so much of it that he stopped his production line)

I think it did. Wasn't it in a WWW?

Edit: ninja'd with a proper answer.

if you watch WWW, you can see that @Da9L captured some equipment when he annexed countries.

As it has been said many times, capturing a whole country to get equipment is not the same as capturing equipment on the battlefield, what many people are asking about.

Historically, captured equipment was used soon after their capture, not only after the war was ended by annexation. For big war theatres as Germany vs USSR, the war will probably not end by an early game surrender - though I'm sure many players will try hard to prove me wrong on that point.

So captured equipment only made it partially. As the devs said it will eventually will be added, we may still hope for the future.

Yep, for now its only partially implemented.

I also hope that we will soon be able to capture HW from overrun/encircled units.

When you open up the division equipment screen from already deployed units you can see the nations flag you captured it from next to the equipment. I will find a screenshot.

for example Japan had type

For example Japan had Type-35, Type-38, Type-44, Type-99 rifles.. if i supply 100% my army with type-44 rifle, 2 years later i produce type-99 rifles, then can i replace old one`s by my new equipments?

depends on number of factories, number of troops that you want to rearm etc.

Units will also upgrade gradually - if you for example have 100 division and produce 100 Inf. equipment per day, each of your divisions will (on average) each replace 1 old Inf equipment for a new one, per day.

But you can prioritize some division templates (types) so they upgrade more than average:

You can define if a division template is reserves, default or elite, which defines which divisions get priority on better equipment or not.

No upgrade sliders anymore, nor consumer goods (which are automatically reduced from civilian factory production). You can give [upgrades/reinforcements/new units] each a priority for who gets what equipment produced, including newer models of infantry equipment and artillery

correct - it was a simple example

yeah, I hated moving sliders on almost a daily basis.
