A question when changing units...

Post by Maciste »

I'm curently playing with the Brits against Germans on the desert, and I'm following this policy: if I win a battle and the Germans have some abandoned units on the field, I'd change one of my weaker ones for one of the germans after the battle (i.e: I change a Crusader II for a PzkwIVf2s). I know when changing units the game penalizes me reducing a bit the unit's experience level. The question is:
If I change for units of some enemy country (at least, for some non-allied country), is the penalization higher than usual or not?
Thank you.

I think not. It´s just like if the PzIV would´ve been Brit hardware right from the start.

Agreed.

But in fairness you should probably only use that captured unit for one scenario and then replace it again with a standard-issue unit. Your mechanical support would not be equipped to maintain your captured unit and you would not necessarily have a good supply of enemy ammunition.
They struggled with a ferocity that was to be expected of brave men fighting with forlorn hope against an enemy who had the advantage of position......knowing that courage was the one thing that would save them.
