estab percentage error

Post by d1973 »

Hi,I did a small test with a supersized unit(estab 200%),and after I started the scenario,the unit had a strange force mix.The number of men seems to be all right,but the equioment is less than it should be.12 Tanks instead of 24.This is the "1m-hr.pzd-Mdm Pz Coy-PzD 5" estab and I'm running the latest patch.

That's because the CulleExcessEquipmentAndSupplies() cuts in at game start and ensures that no unit has more that it's estab should allow. We should also trim the personnel...I'll add that to the list. IIRC you can assign up to 20% more than the estab. this is to allow for merging of units in the game.

I liked the HTTR system where I could assign more than 200% to every estab.It provided support for more creative freedom.

Fair enough but this ensures that values are within acceptable bounds and that makes for less crashes.
