And that is ALL it was, an organizational tool. IRL those organizations changed as often as they needed to. A unit wasn't locked in as part of III. Corps just because it was once there. If III. Corps moved away and the 33rd Division needed to stay, then it just left III. Corps and was either attached to whatever Corps was moving in, or directly to the Army or higher command.It's not about getting bonuses, it's about the way ALL armies from this historical period organized themselves. It's about using it as an organizational tool. W/o an OOB & an apparently quite limited number of generals, it will be Risk as someone else said. It is ridiculous. I don't care if they make 'arcade' (i.e. no OOB) the default, give us the chance to use the ORBAT as an organizational tool *as an option* at the bloody least.
Rather than having it taken away, here I was hoping to see levels of command for Navies and Army/Airforces also. Instead....?
Yeah, as much as this looks grand, I'll probably stick with my first instinct: stick with HOI3. Then it was about Steam, and while I could get over that, I can't get over *this.*
Feel free to create whatever OOB you want in you head...it will have just as much impact there as it did in real life, so no need to include it in the game.
