Hi guys! This is and part of the CD team on the Exiles branch for the Soviet Union. This applies to any widths that match up like 30+10 say). Targeting is now changed so that divisions will select targets up to its own width (so a 40w can fire on two 20w), but doing so spreads the damage over them relative to their width (and just to be clear, it’s not just for 40w. One way 40 width (and also larger) divisions were stronger than smaller ones was how they could concentrate all of their damage into one target overpowering defense more easily. To expand on this we have changed how targeting and damage spreading works. In there we outlined several changes such as varying terrain width without easy multipliers to exploit (meaning you can still make optimums for particular terrains but not all), as well as reduced penalties to going over widths. Back in the Combat and Stats Changes diary we outlined our quest to break down the 40 width meta and try to combat an “overall best division”. Hi everyone, here for a little guest appearance to tell you some more about the combat changes coming with Barbarossa.

In addition, Comrades and return for a dive into changes to the Soviet Exiles branch of the focus tree, based partly on community feedback. Today we have two important topics to cover, for which we have reinstated with a battlefield commission, in order to detail our latest efforts to combat the width meta.
