Here is a breakdown of the abilities:

Force Attack - Units gain attack bonuses, take no org damage while attacking, but take increased strength damage. They are also unable to retreat from attacks when this is active. As the active units take damage this will also hurt your nation’s war support.
Last Stand - Similar to Force Attack but when on defense. Use it if you must absolutely hold somewhere no matter what while attacking elsewhere. We also have some national flavor version of these for China and Japan.
Probing Attack - Divisions can launch attacks without losing entrenchment, but have a penalty to attack while doing so.
Staff Office Plan - Increases planning speed for the cases when you need to finish and launch a new plan quickly.
Siege Artillery - Combat bonus vs fortifications and also increases damage to the fortifications themselves substantially.
Glider Planes - Used in combination with paratroopers they let you drop more paras per transport and give them a boost to organization and defense towards enemy AA.
Makeshift bridges - Gives a substantial reduction to the river crossing penalty.
Extra supplies - Increases the time troops can be without supplies before suffering penalties.
Naval Assault Plan - Cuts down time needed to complete preparations for naval invasions.

HOI4 is now revealing special abilities.
or “Sick”, which can be gained by trying to develop a video game in Sweden during the winter or by staying in high-attrition areas for a prolonged time.

Don't you know? Back in the 1940's, when you were promoted to Field Marshal you'd lose all knowledge! That is totally historically accurate!

If you want to make a throwback to classic games you should totally find a way to include weaponized tesla coils. As for his eugenics belief like most back then it wasn't done out of malevolence like it was with the fascists. Mostly it was out of a belief that people shouldn't have to suffer from horrendous birth defects (not saying i support it). Then it became a matter of breeding out impurities and such. Now it is synonymous with racism.

I'm aware of that as I find it a fascinating science. i was however referring to Eugenics in the states of the US during the time of Tesla, North Carolina for example sterilized anyone with an IQ below 70 thus making it the most aggressive in the states. The reason I'm not certain I'd have a good future in that reality is that the feeble of mind where in states with Eugenics laws sterilized; and I while having an acceptable IQ, am Dislecsic and an Aspie (someone with Asbergers, a mental condition that has recently been put into the same category as Autism and rebranded if the word applies as 'High Functioning Autism- when this re-categorization occured I was very insulted as I have always seen myself as above people with Autism as it use to be defined. I remember feeling so sorry for them, as I ended up playing with this 17 year old who acted like she was 6- and I just had to pretend she was a kid and I felt so sad for her).

Well, France & Co. were surprisingly gentle with England at the resolution of the English-French Succession War, considering it was the first time I ever saw a continental country invade Britain. They were seiging London when the peace deal came through for cryin' out loud. France only took the English bits of Aquitaine and part of Normandy, not even all of it. I don't get it.

Ok, for the US starting out, is it better to base my armor arount the M2 and then go into medium tanks via the M3, or should I go heavies into the Sherman?

Assume resources won't be an issue because I'm cheating scum.

Hoi4?
Heavies are trassssh
Med tanks are amazing. I've found that against AI, a division, width 40, of 9 med tanks, 4 med SPARTS, 5 motor (or mecha if you've got the production) plus engineer and recon for support.
It appears I'm an INTP-T. You're not gonna get much more about me.

Ok, plan. Use the M3 as a base for my armored divisions and use the Chaffee in my mechanized infantry divisions.

Followup question though: is making use of the specialist varients on tanks worth it, or should I use the artillery tree and thr bespoke big guns on it?

Cause so far I just upgrade the tanks with their varients and use those.

As I said, Medium Tank SPARTS are part of my amazing width 40 tank division.
Over 600 soft attack, 84 hardness or so with just motorized, no mecha.
