"The chances of spotting, and of spotted units
disappearing, depend on the relative experience levels of the units involved, their skill of
their leaders, the weather, the visibility and the terrain."
"The Skill ratings for armor, infantry and artillery are used when the leader checks to see how
successful the unit is at a variety of tasks like spotting for artillery, assaulting tanks, using antitank
weapons, hitting targets and avoiding being spotted."
That would imply that it's leader ratings, either in armour, arty or infantry that predominate, since a unit's experience usually dictate the leader ratings.
It's interesting because there are some nations that have a large disparity between experience and leader ratings. In later years, for example, when Russians have same experience levels as Germans, the Russian leader ratings are lower than their XP while Germans a little higher than XP. So I was curious to know if, when historic ratings are on, and when two nations have similar Xp's but different leader ratings, which one gets used for spotting?
I used to judge the competence of troops according to their XP, but I'm starting to wonder whether I've been looking at the wrong figure, and whether the leader ratings have more effect on combat effectiveness than XP when it comes to spotting and hitting.
I think only Mike Wood or Tom Proudfoot could tell you for sure since these is the only guys who have access to the source code. What is left to ourselves is pure statistical testing. Make a test scen, test both, low expereince troops with good leaders and vice versa, see who fares better with regard to spotting ect. and let us know the results![:)]
