Why were Corps removed?

[PhantomXtrike]

To my understanding, the Corps level and OOB as a whole are removed to reduce micro-managment. AI do not ultilise the OOB and cause a hell of a mess. As a player, the Corps level require the HQ unit close to the divisions and when the war starts, it becomes a click-fest.

PS: I do like to somewhat have a abstracted OOB like Field Marshall > Generals > Div compare to the current version of FM and General role, while the current Theater > Army > Div is fine with me.

Quote from other thread from myself.

There's at least a dozen threads from almost a year ago about this topic, similar to the counters threads.

The new OOB in HoI IV is absolutely superior in terms of the game's form and flow. The AI could not use it in HoI3 and making the AI try to abide by it for HoI4 would sacrifice time the AI programmers could do to improve the AI elsewhere. In addition, adding it to HoIV would still provide for an easier game because the AI, even if it were programmed to try and keep CoCs in mind, will certainly make mistakes with their OOB that a good player would not.
