I feel like the weight of the mechanized division is a bit too low compared to the infantry division.
Let's say that the average man of ww2 weighs 150 lbs (wild guess) so 9300 men in the infantry division would weigh total ~ 1.4 M pounds
Now the armored division already has 7300 men so thats not much smaller, total > 1 M pounds right there. But then take the T-26 tanks which weigh 9.6 tons each, so 300 of them alone weight 5.8 M pounds - 5x the weight of the infantry division's men alone. Then there are the 200 trucks on top of that... the 8 artillery in the infantry division would I suppose weigh less than 1 truck each.
So instead of only being 50% heavier I feel like it should be at least 5x if not more.
They might be talking about another type of weight.
