Mostly, though, the equipment is there because this is the level at which combat works. The numbers on the icon are there solely for the benefit of the player. They have no direct impact on how the unit fights.
Is that right? I always thought that eg. a tank regiment with 10 PIVs was much worse in tank-to-tank fighting than one with 80 PIVs.
Let alone those pesky jeeps... [8|]
You misunderstand me. Suppose I take your example of these two units. Obviously they will behave differently. But I go into the editor and create them;
1. Panzer Kompanie
10 PzKpfw IVH
100% Proficiency
100% Readiness
150% Supply
1. Panzer Regiment (-)
80 PzKpfw IVH
11% Proficiency
33% Readiness
1% Supply
Try this yourself. Both units rate 32-16 in my copy of TOAW, but will behave different in combat. The only clues to the differences on the icon are the health indicators in the corner, and the different size icons.
