Hi - in the "updated manual" PDF for 1.00.7U61 on page 38 for France it says (highlighted in yellow) "France: armor: -1 tanks, +1 armor" - shouldn't this actually read "France: armor: -1 tanks, +1 defense", as there is no "armor" attribute and this is how it appears to actually be implemented in-game.

Also it says "Italian infantry corps: –1 firearms, –1 artillery, can’t build large corps", but this doesn't actually seem to be the case in-game, Italy has the same Firearms and Artillery values as Germany for it's Infantry Corps in 1.00.7U61 in-game - I assume in this case that it's the game that has the bug, not the manual?

Right on both counts.

The large corps had the modification not the small one. So I updated it for the small one now. I'll fix all the scenarios.

Thanks. The regular Italian infantry is pretty nerfed, what with that, low experience and only small corps!

I increased their default experience to 45% from 40%. Italians were pretty shitty units due to equipment and officers. Not the soldiers though.

Okay, that's some compensation then! Yes, I'm aware the regular infantry Italian infantry units were not the best led and equipped in WW2, their Motorised, Armoured and Parachute Divisions performed much better, though.

Thus why their mech is normal

Did you increase the default experience to 45% for these units too?

Also, will these Italian small Infantry corps require less production to produce and less logistics to support than other nations' small corps, due to less equipment (and training!)?

It's the same. Just because they have crappier weapons doesn't mean the crap costs less. It's just a less efficient weapon.

The Default experience will be set at 45%. The starting experience for the units on map will remain the same.

Thanks, makes sense I think.

They start crappy XP but gain as they fight. Very quickly units will catch up.

I can get a German armor up to 85% XP in combat.

But maybe I will put them at 45% on map so players don't revolt lol.

Apart from the low experience coastal unit(s?) that might be for the best, unless they're meant to represent the really crappy Blackshirt divisions or something
