Brigades

[unmerged(26538)]

Hi to all,

Two questions:
-Which will be the sice of the units? (Division, brigades?)
-Which units types will be the atached brigades? (I always sink in remplace the AT with Special Forces, and made them compatibles with paratroopers)

dont know about what we will be doing with the atached brigades yet

We might play around with the attached units. No plans for it at the moment. Probably after we get that tech tree done we'll go further and discuss more deeploy the benenfits and costs of each brigade.

And yes, we're using divisions. Big discussion on it, but I eventually ruled it would slow down the game too much to have 1,000 units, not to mention all of the hardcoded leader limitations.

Helicopters might be a good attachment - to give a division extra movement attributes

And why not two or three brigade for one division if the player want?

I wish there was a way to be able to add two or three brigades to each division, but I don't think it is possible due to hard-code.

Brigades...

Actually, 2 Brigades make a Division. So 3 Brigades will be equal to a Division and a half. As for the Helicopter Brigade and Special Forces Brigade, having a helicopter unit attached to so many divisions would be very unrealistic at best. Since most countries won't be able to field too many helicopters anyway. As for the Special Forces Brigade, again it would also be unrealistic due to the stringent training and requirements to be in the Special Forces. Imagine going against 12 Divisions pack-full of Special Forces Brigades, thats just overkill.

Brigades are some random in size that 2 might just be enough for a regiment in some units, where as others can be verging on the size of a division when they are on they're own.

I've normally seen the brigades in this MOD as being: Artillery, Helicopter, Anti-Tank/Air. I couldn't think of a fourth, possibly Engineers?

Are you guys thinking of adding brigades back to Paratrooper divisions, seeing as the British 16th Air Assault Brigade uses both an Airborne and Aviation Brigade (Airborne Infantry and Assault Helicopters)? Of course your keeping to divisions and not brigades, but the same idea could be used could it not?

i think that is hardcoded so we probably cant add bridages back to paratroopers

Whatever the brigades should be, they should not be heavily overpowering to make the unit significantly stronger than the original unit unless the cost was able to show the increase as well.
