i did so. your opening post talks about a defense modifier and simultaneously posts an image where the defense bonus is contributing exactly nothing, zero, nilch to the combats. literally no difference whether they have it or not in that situation.
Everyone else understood.
rafeal franco gives a 15% "country" defense bonus.
fuerzas armadas only gives 4% "Country" defense bonus at this moment.
And as one use posted the province ability provides 20% core territory defense bonus. this (from my understanding) counts as a "country" bonus
this adds up to the 49% country bonus that paraguay is getting when on the defense. out of the total 392% bonus they are receiving.
???
you have a combined soft attack value between your 3 divisions of less than 200. it's currently night, but even in the day there is literally no difference if they have 500 defense or 500,000 defense with your attacks that low. you will do the exact same amount of damage (not much) and de-org because they're actually doing crits against you (their defense doesn't help that though, just your poor breakthrough).
Again this was never about this and just shows more of you just jumping to a conclusion.
Have you ever considered that maybe i wasnt trying to breakthrough and was simply trying to pin?
Or even that i was simply taking a screen shot of what i found to be a crazy value i didnt understand and came to the forums to find an explanation?
there must be some semi-coherent standard for "overpowered" or "overtuned". something generic bottom feeder minors can reliably do regardless of tree can't be evidence that the tree is too good. not by itself.
>op says one thing in their focus tree is overtuned
>you jump to the conclusion that i think the entire thing is overtuned
>you look silly
why do you need 4 years to research marines 1? do you not build infantry kits or something? quoted statement is really strange lol
4 years was simply referring to the standard buildup time of the game from 1936-1940
as you mentioned there is a deep lack of research slots.
if i want to min max why would i waste any of my time on that research when there are so many better things to do with that time.
also by using the license production system properly you can focus one branch of your tech tree at a time while still being effective in expansion. this does depend on which nation, as some have better focuses for this than others but that should be a given
maybe not so obvious, since you seem to believe defense is doing something meaningful in this situation!
Again who ever said it needed to be doing something.
you just assumed that i was trying to win this individual combat. which again, if you thought deeper about the whole thing you would've gathered like everyone else that i was simply trying to understand where the total 49% value came from. also by simply looking at the picture you can see im winning.
and having continued playing for like 10 more minutes in game i finished the war, capitulating them.
