A wonderful thing about HOI 4 is the GUI allowed you to predict what size army you could sustain including how much fuel and Manpower, etc., In all that I have read and observed the past two weeks with HOI 3, I do not have a clue how to predict what Germany (or any nation) can sustain. I am aware of the MP GUI which is somewhat helpful, but the Fuel and Resources.., I cannot tell.
I assume there is no mathematical way to do this, it is probably based on experience with HOI 3. But if there is a way to do this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
With that said, I pasted an excerpt from the infamous Mr. Bean which I believe was using FtM. Is the metric below accurate in HOI3 (especially for Barbarossa) in its present state using TfH?
from Mr. Bean –
our goals would be fairly historical:
at least 24 infantry (3inf/1art) in the west and
26 infantry in the east. minimum total: 50 infantry.
10 armor [4Larm (2Larm/1mot/1eng)] + 8Marm (2arm/1mot/8Spart)]
8-10 motorized infantry(2mot/2TD) .
30 interceptors, 12-16 tacs, 6 to 9 cas.
My usual aim, however, is not guided by the start of the war. I look at the main event: Barbarossa.
For this we will need:
about 125 infantry across all fronts,
about 20 arm,
15 to 20 mot,
48 int, 16 tac, 12 cas (the latter 2 preferably a lot more but we have to make choices here) and
about 50 militia (3mil/1AA) to defend all vulnerable ports.
Again, appreciate any help. Thanks.
