War losses: summary

[Simoleum]

Hello! I really like the way to see the losses of both sides during the conflict, but what I havent seen - and miss - is a summary of all nations' losses on one side, and the other, for a comparison of both sides. Is this in, maybe at the bottom (I haven't seen it, but can't be sure). If not, should it be in, or would it just cluster the War score screen. Personally I feel the war score screen has room for much more

I agree. What with HOI4 tracking vehicles and equipment, it'd also be nice to have a full overview of losses, like in War in the East.
A side-by-side comparison of losses vs production would be hugely useful, too. Perhaps in graph form.

Are we talking Equipment losses or are we talking manpower losses, because casualties can be seen for all nations in an war in the war screen.

As for equipment they could probably add the total production value lost. That would give an indication how much equipment has being lost, without cluttering the warscore screen. For example one improved artillery costs 5 production.

Detailed statistics about equipment loses are available for your nation.They actually showed the statistics for an airzone.

It should also be noted that in the production screen it tells you if you need to produce more equipment of an specific type. Besides that i am sure that there are indepth statistics about equipment losts somewhere, probably in the logistics screen. Speaking of logistics window, that actually tells you how much equipment you are using i.e needs to be replaced and how much you are producing.

I am talking about total casualties for each side in a war. A summary at the bottom

Something like this? I agree, could be useful.

Gary Grigsby's Spreadsheets in the East has a nice losses screen I wish we could see in HOI4, though probably with a prettier layout, and most likely sans the grissly "men disabled" statistic, see below.

With an added coloumn for "Production", so that you could track if you were building enough tanks and whatnot to replace losses, this would become a very powerful tool, both strategy-wise and, well, emotionally.

War in the East had a very detailed historical production compared to Hearts of Iron, so that much detail was needed. In HOI, I am sure they could give something similar based on HOI production.

Precisely! That is what I would love to see. Great job.

I also see that there is a possibility to add more information, without cluttering it. In EUIV, then did add more and more info in the war screens, etc., so there is a possibility; but for now, a summary at the bottom is what I would love to see. (Future stuff could be planes, tanks, ships lost, for example. An easy three categories. After that the possibility for listing each type of equiptment, ships, tanks, planes, etc is possible and would be cool (obviously not in the war screen unless its a button to press to open a detailed loss window)).

I hope they will implement a casualty stats summary in the ledger like AoD and Darkest Hour have.
