combat efficiency & experience

[21oliver]

How does combat efficiency and experience actually work? do they simply modify the ratings of the unit or is there some formula involved? For example if a unit is a soft attack of 5 and has a 10% combat efficiency bonus are they simply 5.1 now? and is experience assigned the same way (basically the same as combat efficiency)?

Yes. All modifiers are put together, and the resulting % is applied to the units' attack/defense (each one has its own).

Just to pick a tiny little nit: each brigade has its own. Just didn't want anyone thinking it calculated this based on an aggregated division score the way it does certain other stats.

Hmm, not sure you are right about that. Its my understanding that experience is averaged out across the whole division.

Hmm.... I am not so certain of it to say for sure that you are wrong. Hopefully someone else can throw us some confirmation one way or the other.

The experience is indeed averaged, that is why I never disband the 85% experience ENGs that Germany starts with.

Slightly related question: if you upgrade the garrison in Berlin to Motorised (as in Grossdeutschland-regiment), do you lose XP?

 

[Opanashc]

No.

That is the core of the MIL exploit, racking up sick levels of unit XP as MIL then upgrading to specops units like MAR, PAR, or MTN, or even MEC.

Thx guys...

Same here. I always use the German super elite units to boost the average exp. of my armored divisions.

I tend to use the starting experienced german units for upgrades to MOT. I also could upgrade them to MAR/MOUN but the thing is MOT units will see almost continious battle on the eastern front later so imo they are most effectively used this way.
