I also saw that this formula produces much more realistic casualty results."
For WW2, I use the old 33% KIA, 66% WIA, interpretation of the final casualty figures unless in urban or mountain which I consider 50/50 KIA/WIA.
For modern nations with good medical evacuations, 20% KIA, 80% WIA.
I've never considered the casualty calculations being 'reports' that could be in error but that is an interesting idea.
