How do you deal with French tanks

[JTullman]

I hope that I'm not kicking a dead horse here but I have a question.

From the manual:
"France really was not in a good state for the fight in terms of national morale, especially so after the outflanking of the Maginot Line, it is best to have their Troop Quality low, 65 or so if you are using 75 or 80 for Germany (1940 national characteristics reflect this). However some units were significantly better than average, so you may prefer to play against elites, such as De Gaulle's 4e DCR, or the excellent Colonial troops such as the Chasseurs Afriques."

Does this mean that when the campaign generator is set to 1940 that the French Troop Quality is set to the levels listed above automatically? Thanks.

This all i know,when setting a campaign,all prefs should be set at 100% or default for both sides, to simulate forces that would be used in that time period,ie: morale air points ect.
Other adjustments gets way too gamey IMO.

So long as have training on & troop quality at 100% yes.

Ok, I think I understand:


So basically the low French troop quality will be applied automatically as long as country training is on and troop quality shows XXX.

Additional Question:
Can each individual nations troop quality info be found somewhere and reviewed/edited? How about its AI purchasing habits?

No

and

No.

SPWW2 picklists are hardcoded as are the troop quality ratings which are actually two sets of numbers
