SF overall are independent in regards to their specialty a mountaineer obviously has a different function to a marine or paratrooper. Or get lucky and have some national spirit/focus tree that ups the multiplier for you. In essence you either have to just bloat the amount of battalions you have in the army just to get a handful more of SF battalions to field that extra 14-4 or go down the SF research section of the tree, which just takes too long and is only really viable to someone like America. Chances are the cap is gonna restrict you because a large portion of infantry battalion counts as 1 SF battalion and building up to a 14-4 takes alot of regular infantry battalions. Ya know like actually having paratroopers land on some type of D-day event to disrupt the enemy while the amphibious tanks attempt to make the initial breakthrough with marines/mountaineers and the regular army following in hot pursuit.Ĭlick to expand.ok try to field a 14-4 paratrooper division with a 14-4 marine division. Overall some revision on the system would be neat as it would make critical operations a bit more enticing. But still be limited in number as to not outright replace the stock bread and butter of your army. So said divisions can actually operate like the elite independent forces they are meant to represent. Heck make it so that they can not be in mixed battalions of divisions involving other SFs or even regular infantry. That way your able to disperse the ability to field multiple forms of SF yet still make them concentrated in regards to their presence.

However this limitation should be more segmented on a SF type basis rather then under a universal category. I get there should be a limitation in regards to how many SF there are so we don't have the issue like before in regards to say the Romanian marine corp or full Alpini (mountaineer) Italy. Looking at and playing around with the mechanic for awhile I have a feeling its a bit too restrictive in a universal sense.
