"Killcount" of individual units

[Lifthrasil]

Not sure if this has been already discussed, the forum search did not deliver satisfying results though.

Will there be individual killcounts per unit (division/ship) accessible in the game? I think they said in a dev diary or a stream that ships have killcounters, but what about division?
I would love this feature, as I use to follow the fate of certain divisions in the game for immersion reasons (like the div my granddad served in, or the div from my hometown ect). It would be so cool to see that "Panzerdivision Lehr" has killed X enemy tanks and Y enemy infantry.
Respectively I would like to see how many destroyers the glorious "USS Lifthrasil" has sent to the bottom of the sea.

Ships have kill counts.

I always loved in HoI3 that it actually told you what ships your ships had sunk. I hope it's not just a count, but actually names them

That is true for HOI4 as well, somebody will probably post the screenshot that show the kill list for ships.

Difficult to do with divisions because 99% of the time the enemy takes losses and retreats and isn't 'killed' like a ship is. And with encirclements, which division gets the 'kill'?

Maybe the division could have a number of casualties inflicted? EG:

22.ID = 500 Poles, 3000 Russians, 200 Yugoslavs

Thats what I mean!
Since strenght is measured in actual men now, killcounts can be down to the actual number of men killed (which obviously includes men captured or decapacitated ect into one single stat).

Unless they don't have showed us this, there is no "kill list" for land units.

This is how it looks like for ship :

(it's an old screen, maybe it has changed sinced)

That is pretty cool, gives a nice flavor to the game (killed and damaged).

I would love this feature. It should be called 'casualties inflicted' because hoi doesn't seem to like referring to death most of the time.
