RE: Infantry Defense Factor (Glenn)

Hi Aaron,

I know you wrote to Glenn but let me try to help. The PDT value of 16, which I believe you are referring to, is only applied to non-foot infantry when deployed. So if you give a foot infantry unit a defense value of 10, it should be using the 10 for calculation of fire against it, not 16. But a motorized infantry unit will get the 16 when deployed.

The reason for the 16 for motorized/mech infantry is that when deployed they should have a defense value basically without their vehicles which are presumably left under covered positions, unless they carry machine guns/heavy weapons and are being used to lay down fire on the enemy for which the system really doesn't account for that. As the early games all had foot infantry at 16, I believe, the PDT value for these non-foot infantry was set to 16.

If I missed anything, I am sure Glenn will be along and take care of it. I hope that helped.

Regards
Rick
