Hoi4 Staging Coups

[Titanic]

Lets say I want to boost then cause a coup. In the recruitment area it says Reinforcments, Upgrades, Stage coup, Land Lease. But it says I am only giving them Infantry equipment which is the guns, but I want to give them tanks,planes,Arty, Anti-Tank, ect. Is there a way to do this because I want the coup to have a good army when it spawns, not just with guns. I want a full war where both have modern stuff.

You'd have to lend-lease the other stuff, and any remaining in their reserves will be split when the coup is triggered.

When you're trying to clandestinely overthrow your government, it's a bit harder to hide a bunch of tanks and 'planes (EDIT) than some rifles .... ;p

I believe you cannot "give" them anything DURING the staging.
You could invite them to your faction afterwards or try to lend-lease them (forgot if it's possible tbh)
Generally speaking most coups depend on their popularity, and they TAKE divisions FROM the original country.
For the sake of example let's say you stage a coup in Texas (for the US) depending on it's support it will increase in size (and army aswell)
And the bigger the area the more the cored manpower + industry meaning they'll probably make a large army anyway (if they didn't get enough from their main nation that was coup'd)
This example would be best understood in MP or by using TAG in console before and after the coup on the main country.

Do the revolting nations take the same laws as the main country? A lot of times the reason I see Coups as useless is because the revolting nation may have more land but have a Civ economy and volunteer only conscription laws. It makes it impossible to try and compete with an already mobilized country.
