Good day, Chuckforth

I guess my explanation is a little unclear.

Within the country codes and with unit codes there things written in to these that make them specifically what they are.

EG: a "Infgruppe SS" has many things that make it so, The Country Code makes it German, as does the unit code makes it a Waffen SS Rifle Squad. These codes impart German Waffen SS attributes to that unit, some of which may be date dependant.

If it was a Heer Infgruppe it would have a German code & Rifle Squad code, making it a Heer Infgruppe, with none of the extra things that a SS Unit would have associated with it.

The Pz Gren code gives those troops better working with APC attributes as another example.

With the Japanese country code the attribute which causes them not to surrender is built in there.

With the Russians within their Country Code is a date dependent overall abilities attribute, which improves as the war marches on.

And a last example, but not least, is the US Regular Army troops. They have a similar code attribute to the Russians, which sees them become better as the war marches on.

Now I'm not privy to all the things written into the codes to make various countries troops behave historically, but, I do know from experience that I can see a difference in how Canadian troops behave and British troops do even.

If these codes were not there, the game play would be pretty flat knowing the Green US Troops can fight the same as Elite German troops.

If this doesn't explain it then maybe we can ask the MOD's to explain it more plainly.......or maybe this is all in my head in that case, maybe it's time to quit playing SP.

Prosit!
