Experience

[Oakfan]

Unlike EU4, will unit gain experience? Thus having a certain advantage vs non experience soldiers, similar to HOI3.

I just picked up EU4, hoping to gain insight on HOI4. I noticed units do not gain experience, or at least I have not recognized the fact.

I've no doubt that units will gain experience in HoI4. In this regard comparing EU with HoI is not going to give you any insight. Due to EU's timeline, units come and go repeatedly and/or exist beyond a single soldier's span of service, so providing them with experience is not really realistic without over complicating manpower.

I hope that they do, I also hope that it is significantly faster than HoI3. I seem to recall someone doing the math and it takes over 100 combat DAYS (as in 2400 hours) to gain a trait. I don't even know if that is possible.

I realize the timeline is different, I got it for the basic mechanics.
