army exp points is there a faster way to gain more points.
ok so about 10 hr in .. playing with russia .. im doing drills to improve my exp solely to get points so i can build divisions that are of better design . but as i gained its some cost to production of my units . and adding units to armor is like 25 points per unit seems crazy.. my manpower is out the roof becouse i dont have the production to supply all units and build more during training .. so i guise russia u kinda just stay with simple divisions builds and mass men the front line .. im probly trying to teck up my army to much .. but thoughts could set me at easy some thanks .

send some 40 width medium tanks divs to china you can send like ten if you havent purged yet, (make sure you do the purge straight after sending divisions) and watch your xp bar skyrocket just 2 divisions i sent to shanxi cut of the entire japanese army while my ten divs sent to nationalist china destroyed them while they had no supply you get so much xp plus at the end of it i had 12 seasoned medium tank divisions who could just roll over everything.

You can also send Attache to a country at war to gain exp. I always send one to Japan when I play as Germany

You can mod (cheat) or you can just be very frugal with how you spend those precious points. Generally you will have to wait for a war to gain real army XP, which makes sense.

Can't you disband all your troops bu 1 division and just train that for insane xp gains? Or did they patch that out?

Otherwise, send troops and attachés to China/Spain. And don't forget to save then modify the current templates instead of creating a new one. That saves some XP.

Train them and use a Admiral to improve XP. If an Nation with Ships, Army and / or Airforce are in War send an Attache´ for more XP-Improvement.

That´s all what you can do atm.

Yes, but it cost a lot of equipment.

According to tests I did the other day, for every 100 batallions (e.g. 10 20-width infantry divisions) that Germany trained in 1937 for 100 days, you get a meager 5 power. But it will cost you 600 infantry equipment. Plus 70 of each type of support units. That is quite costly.

Not to mention that it costs fuel to train panzers and motorised.

You can lower the cost with some traits and by not having a lot of support troops, but you still lose a lot of infantry equipment for those 5 points.

The 25% bonus of trained troops is very, very good. But you will often lose it in battle when you take some casualties because training only gets you to EXACTLy enough XP to get to level 3, not a single % more. So any casuality that gets reinforced makes you lose the bonus (which is kinda dumb: 10,000 trained troops plus 1,000 new troops should not do 25% less damage than 10,000 trained troops, but that's how it works in HOI4).

So, it is a real trade-off.

Military Attache to China can get you hundreds of XP. Send Volunteers in Spain Civil war and send Volunteers to China. You can get a ton of XP this way and also level up your generals.
