Quote:I recommend you search the Shrapnel boards, there should be a lot on the subject.
Sorry, tried to search by the words "infantry" and "toughness" and found nothing related to the topic.
Quote:At the end of your battles, what are the infantry casualty rates for you and your opponent?
Differs - we often play scenarios with uneven forces.
But still, it seems ok to have half a battalion taken out of action in the situation of even forces and fight to death - especially in the high-intensity modern conflict.
Quote:Historically, these rates would be considered very high for a single battle
Yes, because most commanders retreated or requested support when things started to get ugly. Also, I suppose "casualties" mentioned in game are both wounded and dead soldiers, not only killed.
Quote:a quick an easy adjustment would be to change the 'Infantry Toughness' in the Preferences screen
Alas, It doesn't solve the situation. Adjusting Infantry Toughness even to 200% ruins infantry-to-infantry combat a lot while still giving superficial effect on the discussed issue.
