Infantry to Motorised/Mechanized - upgrade path?

[KingKutla]

Hi,
I have a question I have been trying to ask in WWW for a while. I can't find any similar threads.

If, for example, you have some veteran Infantry and you would like to 'Mechanize' them (to use these Elite infantry more effectively in pushes and breakthroughs.) can you just give the units halftracks as you would in RL? or do they count as a different unit type and you can't change one to become the other (and must create new, separate mechanized units)?

Thanks

Well you can change them. I think it was in one of Daniel multiplayer www, You just switch division type from motorized (which you had in your division templates) to mechanized (which need also be created in your division templates).

You can flip each individual div to something else (but you will lose some of that juicy troop experience).

You can swap infantry brigades for motorized and/or mechanized brigades, yes.

You could either edit the infantry template and swap the brigades out for mot/mech and all units made with that template will change, or you can swap out the template of the divisions and those will adjust accordingly.

Your division will loose some experience because of that, since the units have to adjust to the changes of course, but wont drasticly drop in experience of course.
