Depleted SUs should not participate in battles

Post by xhoel »

Please look into prohibiting depleted SUs from participating in battles. Right now, directly attached SUs with 0 TOE can participate in battles and increase their win score and morale by doing so. This should not be allowed.

Here is an example: The 5th Guards Rifle Corps has 3 Tank Regiments attached. First attack on German positions fails and all 3 SUs are depleted through combat and have basically ceased to exist. The second attack succeeds and you can see the units were credited with a win and its morale increased by 2 points. This should be impossible.

This "feature" affects realism and balance as guards/morale can be farmed. This goes for both sides but does give the Soviets more of an edge due to Guards farming.

Before the first attack:

After the failed attack:

27th Tank Regiment after the "win":

Notice it now has 1 win and 1 loss and 2 more morale points. It should only have the 1 loss and no morale boost.

but the morale will be lost when the unit takes on replacements?

Due to their small size, their morale hits are not that big. And they still rack up wins while being a non existent formation.
