Are task efficiency and combat modifiers essentially the same?

[Limith]

Would the two commands below be doing essentially the same thing (since only paratroopers can drop)?
command = { type = task_efficiency which = airborne_assault value = 0.10 }
command = { type = paradrop_attack which = paratrooper value = 10 }

Also applies to shore_attack and amphibious_assault.

Simple answer, yes, in case of paradrops you get the same result.

Real answer, no, you modify different values in the same formula.

Simplified Model:

amp assault:
X = 0.5 counts for all units

shore_attack:
Y1 = 2 for MAR
Y2 = 1 for INF
Y3 = 0.5 for ARM

X * Y = Z with Z as attack efficency

Marines attack beaches with full efficency
Infantry have only 1/2 eff
Tanks only 1/4
