Artillery Deployment

[FreeRangePork]

So I know Artillery is bad at engaging enemy troops in close combat (obviously) but what is the best way to deploy it? Should i put towed artillery in the back of infantry divisions or mobile in the back of motorised/armor or is it better to make seperate artillery divisions and have them support? Thanks in advance

I don't think HoI IV really places any importance on exactly where in the division designer a certain unit is placed.

Yup, placement of the units inside the division template screen makes no difference in combat.

7 Infantry and 2 Artillery is the magic 20 width either do that...
or make a
10 Infantry with support artillery....

And those are the best way to deploy artillery in my opinion!

I really like how new players think this is a real simulation, every decision matters, very tactical

Everything lowers your equipment. If you are afraid of losing equipment, then don't have any wars and no military and be bored all game.
