Realistic Commanders
Description:
This is my personal take on what skills and traits the in-game commanders should have based on history. Some thoughts have gone into balancing as well so it is not *hardcore* realistic: For example Zhukov does not start with Offensive doc trait – he’ll get it soon enough when the bear rolls.
Guidelines used:
Generally speaking each commander has been judged according to when he was at his best/most "popular" during the war. A few examples would be: Rommel now has Desert fox (amongst other traits) and Chuikov has Urban assaulter.
NOTE: The in-game ranks do not correspond with real world ranks due to this new "system" employed by paradox. So as an example dont bother complaining that Paulus is a field marshal. The important bit here is that he is: Skill 2 logistics & planner. NOT the Field marshal bit.
