CM / PC Casualty Disparities

[Liebchen]

Having played quite a bit of Combat Mission (although not much, lately), I have to wonder about the combat casualty rates in HPS' PC games. In CM it is not unusual to see 20 to 50 tanks KOed in a matter of 20-30 minutes, depending upon the concentration and mass.

In the PC games, on the other hand, an attack by 80 PzKwIIIs attack 20 T-34/76s, the losses are typically much lower -- and that's over the span of 2 hours, not 20-30 minutes.

Similarly, infantry assaults in CM can easily result in much higher losses in comparison to what it feels like in PC games, especially when it comes to artillery.

It's been quite a while since I played CS games, but I seem to recall high casualties there, too, compared to the PC games. (I haven't played SP, and so can't comment on that one.)

Has anybody else noticed this?
