Tiger tank division?

Post by colberki »

I was looking into the recruitment screen in the drive on Stalingrad screen and found that I could recruit a Tiger tank division? Is it not supposed to be battalion? Thanks.

The initial equipment of a division is historical, the way you upgrade them might not be. However, there are usually not enough resources to upgrade to Panzer divisions equipped with Tigers, nor is the benefit as substantial as in PG/PC.

Tiger units in scenarios that are on-map or arrive as reinforcements are Schwere Panzer battalions.

Hello,

this should be altered - in 1942 it was difficult to bring a divsion of Tigers to the east - it should be battalion in 1942 and be enlarged later.

Hello,

you are welcome. We are always open to historical corrections if they are justified as some errata always slip through.
