How are division's armor and piercing calculated?

[sgt.stickybomb]

It's simple average - take a better look at this screenshot - there are 4 mot battalions which displays 20, but for calculations it's 4x5 so 8.5 comes from
(30+5+5+5+5+5+5)/7

So I guess they round down? because 60/7 is 8.57

You would, though it'd sound out loud as "targets's". Wow I never thought being a grammar nazi would have a real world use, turns out the paradox forum is occasionally in need.

Technically, my dear grammar nazi, there is an error in your post here as well: Paradox is a proper noun in this context and should be capitalized (which is probably on par with pointing out a missing apostrophe). One could also make the case that there should be a comma after "Wow," as it is a matter of convention to place one after non-essential introductory clauses.

I also feel like pointing out English is one of those few languages without a formal regulatory body to actually define correct usage (see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_regulators). Thus, there are actually NO rights and wrongs in English, just conventions we follow in the quest to make our thought clear. (Go look up Oxford comma jokes to see my point)

I, on the other hand, don't actually care; I just find it humorous to point out this info to people who are self-proclaimed grammar nazis yet have errors in their own posts elsewhere in a thread (and I promise I meant all of the above in good fun ).

Oh, my dear sir, if I did not know such things I'd be a mere grammar fascist, no, you must know that I'm saliently aware of such glaring errors in my text but I'm also tired af and can't really be bothered to do these things at this moment, however seeing as I'm not publishing a professional game, it must be somewhat ok I reason.

Hah, nice retort; I liked it

Fascism isn't just Nazism lite.

So weapon and armor upgrades to recon or engineer vehicles (which are in harm's way) have easily calculable increases in the Piercing and Armor stats. My bet is that field hospital and other logistics support elements are excluded from this calculation.

While this is elementary arithmetic, it creates a nice and moderately complex variation among division stats so that assessing the enemy and comparative critical piercing and armor values involves more than just determining which year's tech the opposition is fielding.

Fascism isn't just Nazism lite.

Agreed there is a difference in form and substance. With fascism it's swaying emotion to appeal and inspire using a lofty but nebulous ideal. With Nazis it's adding ruthless behavior control and relentless documentation in triplicate. Join with me, a recovering pedant, to ruthlessly and with pen or mouse boldly in hand split infinitives and sunder the power of the grammarocracy.
