Pareameter Data Unit Recovery levels Minsk 44

[Elxaime]

Ideally, the recovery system should be broken down to allow game designers to set parameters for specific branches (e.g. infantry, artillery, armor) and also particular unit types (e.g. T-34 units, Panthers).

That way, a designer creating a N44 campaign scenario could account for the fact that British commanders were leery of frontal infantry assaults because of the low UK manpower availability. You could model this by giving some British infantry divisions lower recover rates. Likewise, the Sherman tank equipped Allied armored units had plentiful replacements, which often meant repairs were not even needed to get a unit back to strength - new vehicles could and often were provided on the spot in lieu of waiting for repairs. Similarly, higher or lower recovery rates could reflect the mechanical ruggedness or bugginess of certain vehicles (e.g. standard T34 could have higher recovery rates, Tiger II lower due to its teething problems). There is already a low reliability value that can be assigned to a mechanized unit, but AFAIK it affects breakdowns not recovery (repair/reorganization/replenishment) rates.
