Targeting is now changed so that divisions will select targets up to their own width, so a 40w can fire on two 20w, but doing so spreads the damage over them relative to their width, and to make matters clear, it’s not just for 40w. One way 40 widths, and also larger, divisions were stronger than smaller ones was how they could concentrate all of their damage into one target overpowering defense more easily.


To expand on this they have now changed how targeting and damage spreading works. Back in the Combat and Stats Changes diary, Paradox outlined their quest to break down the 40 width meta and try to combat an “overall best division”.In there they outlined several changes such as varying terrain width without easy multipliers to exploit, meaning you can still make optimums for particular terrains but not all, as well as reduced penalties to going over widths. In their guest appearance, "podcat" brought us news about the combat changes coming with Barbarossa.
