Pareameter Data Unit Recovery levels Minsk 44

[JonS1]

Well, cas inflicted aren't just KIAs - they are everything from outright KIA through various WIA levels right through to those who "temporarily absent themselves from the battlefield". As such, the Unit Recovery Rate models the ability of armies to, well, recover unit strengths. In the short term I see it as mostly modelling the ability to round up stragglers, and the quality and ability of low-level medical services to turn around sick and lightly wounded soldiers and get them back in the fight. It also models the organisational ability to recover and repair damaged equipment (esp guns and tanks in the case of PzC).

Whether any particular level is appropriate for any given army on any given day or month is akin to arguing about how many angels fit on the head of a pin. In a general sense though, 6% is way too high for anyone's army, IMO. Over the course of a (10-turn) day that totals up to a LOT of replacements.

On the other hand, discussions about whether one army's recovery rate should be three times the others is a slightly different discussion. It could be argued that the German medical and repair organisations were better organised and equipped than those of the Russians, but three times ... ?

The good news is that PDTs are easy enough to edit :)

I've expanded my thoughts on this general topic a little more here, under the heading of "Non-Combat-Loss-Rates (NCLR)"
