VETERANCY--
Now you've probably been wondering what this 'Morale' thing has been in some doctrines, basically this is my Veterancy-like idea.
If a unit is surrounded by other units, the units in that small group will recieve a morale boost, for example if there is a single grenadier squad on his own, he will be at level 0, however if he is accompanied by another 2 squads, he will raise up to level 1 of morale. This veterancy style is better increased when there is a variety of units around. For example if those 3 grenadier squads were then accompanied by a SdKfz.251 they would get level 2 veterancy.
Note; however the veterancy is not permanent, if those units split up, the morale/veterancy will be canceled until the units are grouped together again.
Level 3 veterancy is a bit different, to achieve level 3 veterancy then you must kill enemy squads. For example if a group of grenaiders on lv2 vet killed a guards squad, they would then advance to lv3 vet giving vastly improved bonuses for a short amount of time. Units can only reach lv3 vet without fighting when a heavy single-call in unit is next to them (e.g KT, Elefant), this encourages infantry support around tanks. Or the player could use the 'Propoganda speech' of the Defensive doctrine.
Note; however other players units do not increase your own units morale.
Another way this veterancy works is that if there are alot of units together on lv2 vet (for example 4 grenadier squads), if 1 grenadier squad was killed then the units would decrease a level in sight of a dead friendly squad, however if that squad simply moved away, there would be no veterancy loss since the squads have not witnessed their comrades die. The presence of tanks will auto vet-2 infantry, however if the tank is destroyed the infantry will be reduced to vet-0 for a short period of time. This yet again points out the need for infantry support around tanks.
Tanks do not recieve morale/veterancy bonuses.
-Level1 Vet: 5% Increased accuracy, -15% Recieved supression.
-Level2 Vet: 10% Increased accuracy, -25% Recieved supression, -10% Cooldown/reload time.
-Level3 Vet: 15% Increased accuracy, -60% Recieved supression, -10% Cooldown/reload time, 20% increased speed.
