Soviet Cavalry squad 1941 is production is Need based meaning it is unlimited is this WAD? Horses fit for cavalry is defenitly not an infinite resource.

The problem of 'Soviet Cavalries' (and if we extend the Horse business - to Freight) is what spark that.

Tbh if the CAV unit attacking a German ID was having 'Shatter' result instead of 'Insignificant losses' this change could matter - or maybe as German troops perform deliberate attacks with full CV vs a weak CAV to inflict 'significant losses'.

I believe the only real change in the game that this would bring is the forming up of Cavalry Corps.
That it pratically would 'mandate' to have 3 CAV divisions form up a Corp, and thus remove them from map and the cap - instead than forming up new corps from scratch (and thus retaining 60+ CAV divisions on map for later when the cap drops down to ~13, and ~14 corps).

So from my perspective - this type of change, putting a 'limit' in how many Cavalry Squads can be produced a turn - may serve this purpose first and foremost.

In WitE1 soviet players were building cav divs as poor man's motorized/mech div like crazy. Until we limited cav squad production to a reasonable level.

Remember what you switched it to?

Sov cav squads were limited to 200 (41 types) and 250 (43 type) per friendly replacement phase in each turn (refit A + Normal so 400/500 max)
Axis types were limited to 50ish or lower
