[HOI4] An In-Depth Guide to Land Combat
In this video I break down land combat in Hearts of Iron 4 into its most basic components to show how it functions. I cover everything that goes into the damage equations so you can see how soldiers actually die. Then, I take these results and extend them out to more practical uses by discussing some rules of thumb for division design and strategic planning. Correction: /u/TheBlobber has brought it to my attention that my results for reinforcement are off. I erroneously calculated the median when I intended to calculate the mean. The true "average" reinforce rates for the base value, the radios tech, and top-tech signal companies would be 50 hrs, 14.28 hrs, and 4.76 hrs respectively. ------------------------------------------------ Follow me on Twitter: / remansparadox
