Detection level

Post by Nirosi »

Hi Alvaro,

A large corps is 50% bigger than a small corps, but a small corps is 100% bigger than a division.

Hence a small request if possible: to make small corps be "large units" for detections. Right now they seem to be "small units" like division and this is not only counter-intutive but not that very useful to know really.

It can make landings a guesswork. :(

I like this idea from an attacker standpoint, but it would make invasions/paradrops easier to have some certainty vs. having to deal with fog of war. The Italians are easy as there aren't usually too many marine divisions used as garrisons so you know what you are dealing with on a "small" unit, but it's hit and miss with other countries.

Well there will still be uncertainty between a small and large corps, but more important for very low detection levels, the units will remain unknows as now.

But once the size is known it is rally strange that small corps is in the same group as the division that is half its size instead of the much closer large corps. It does lead to strange decisions/results...

This partial detection is not really one I would would say as a small corps and large corps do require (more or less of course) the same firepower to dislodge with an invasion.

If bombing an unit by air could improve detection level too, no stop, I am just dreaming... :lol:
