Panzer Replacement Battalions

[anthonykevinluke]

Hi,

Two questions if I may regarding Pz repl Bns; I assume to use them you attach them from OKH to the Pz Div needing them and they are just absorbed? and what do you do with replacement Bns that have tanks no longer in use, specifically I have 2 x Repl Bns with PZ IIIF and no Divisions with that tank anymore .....? All advice welcome.

Cheers,

AKL

keep them in the reserve till they fill out, OKH, allocate to a Pzr division short of tanks and they are absorbed into that formation.

They are tolerant in their OOB as to what tanks they absorb and there is an upgrade later in 42 if they are still in use where they can swap tanks. If you want this to happen, put them back in the reserve on 'refit'.

The reality is you will be living hand to mouth for tanks all 1942, especially the better ones. So I'd personally take the view that pretty much any tank in the divisions is a bonus.

Noted, thank you. However, I have observed that they do not seem to go above 66% OB; think it's a lack of specific tank types.

I've got mine to 90+%, depends a bit on what is in your replacement pools, so the more tank losses you have already had the more likely it is these will have gaps
