No plans for the soviets....maybe in the far future if I ever finish the Germans.
Overall CV strength deviations for Infantry divisions will be minor for the most part. In the stock TOEs for example, all the bicycle recon squads are counted in with the rifle squads. All I'm doing is minor adjustments to differentiate the various components of a division based on historical manpower and weapon strengths.
But with that said, you'll notice the 3rd Wave Divisions take quite a hit especially in AT and medium mortars.
But to be honest, most of these divisions were on guard duty back in Europe when Barbarossa started. They were rushed to the East Front only after the disasterous winter of '41/'42. Before then, they may have been brought up to proper strength before redeploying...I'll have to do further research. But I have seen pictures of the 15cm sFH 37(t) in action against the Soviets.
While on the subject of artillery, I just noticed the German 15cm sFH18 has the wrong range listed in the editor...the range they use is for the sFH18M...which was a short-lived improvement due to it wearing out the barrel liners too quickly. Proper range should be about 14490 yards.
Here's what I got for the 3rd Wave. Notice the new Infantry Bicycle Squad which replaces the Infantry Cavalry Squad in the Wave 1 and 2 Divisions. Strength is 10 men with one SMG and nine carbines. Source is KStN 183 dated 2/1/1941.
Also new is the aforementioned 15cm 37(t) which equipped the IV. Artillery Abtielung.
(Support strengths are estimates for now.)
