Started doing 21w, after being out of the loop since NSB, because those were the templates my puppets were making in a mod. So I put my trust in that template.

[Gustav_Kuriga]

I literally had no idea this was even meta. It was just aesthetically pleasing how many slots they filled up.

As someone who took Warsaw then get pushed back to Poznan and then took Paris then got pushed back to Brussels I can confirm I have no idea why I'm here.

Adding support rocket arty is cheaper than a norma battalion and with right right superior might even give more soft attack

[soviet_doge]

I honestly couldn't care less how large my infantry divisions are, as long as they work I'm good.

Why i see more work of hoi team in shorts more than in game😭

[HardlyMahlane]

20w are working really well, I normally put support engineers, AA and support arty in them, also rockets in the late game and they work really well against the AI

[LiterallyRyan_Gosling]

I'll still just use 4 armies of 40 width divisions and win

Why the fuck is rocket artillery so expensive?

IRL one of the reasons the Soviets preferred them is that they were much cheaper to produce than Howitzers.

What's most important: other than fitting perfectly into forest and jungle, it fits pretty well into most other terrain types so the penalties won't be too bad.

Also great are multiples of 12

Really cool guys play with the starting templates

[WarLegend]

Im kinda new. Does changing a division template change those divisions already on the field?

[leventekocsis]

I usually just go for a 26 width infantry with two line artillery. AA, artillery, engineer, logistics, and signal support companies.

[PopsPopPop]

can we add a flagbearer support company that does nothing but when you zoom in on a battle with a template that has it, it will play the national anthem of the country

[OfficialMTTstudios]

Light flame tanks add w/rockets. It works great for a specialized unit.

[Quatschkopflolxd]

Im personally using 22 width like a 8/2 for the reason that i think most or the most tiles im personally fighting in Europe are 90 combat width

[kliwenad]

i literally use 9 infantry, 1 engineer, 1 support artillery, 1 support aa and (maybe) support at depending on the country im playing. it isnt worth putting a bunch of artillery in infantry, its better to just make tanks and make encirclements that way

[kiriseraph]

I have noticed that when I play with 7/2s the initial shock of the enemy attack is worse but they become exhausted and stop attacking much faster than if I use 9/1. I think because the extra artillery makes them deorg faster and does more strength damage. Then start encircling them with tanks
