Hi,
the length of the possible unit name is very short (panzer corps v1.11)
in "ostfront" -mod there are longer names possible, why?

thanks.

Name length is coded so that the name fits well in the UI sidebar. Do the names in ostfront fit in the UI?

In Ostront the name can be 3 lines (separated with "-")

for example:
im ostrfont "Infanterie-Regiment 126" is a poddible name, in the origin NOT.

thanks.

Well, that is why long names are not allowed by the game. The UI looks best when the name occupies just one line.
