Hello, newcomer to DH and really loving it. One question, is it possible to keep older tech once you've completed a higher level of research?

I'm playing the 1936 scenario and find it kind of weird that the Panzer I tech is disabled and all I have is Panzer IIs. Is it possible to have both? It would seem more realistic to have different tanks to build my units with.

AFAIK, it isn't possible. If more people show such an interest, I can ask the team about it. TBH, though I would prefer only the advanced model. Jmo, ymmv
You do know that ships obsolete by 1 generation can still be produced, right?

The smallest unit is a division. You can only have one type of tanks in a division. You can, however, disable auto-upgrade of a division, so you can combine a division of Panzer 1 and a division of Panzer 2 into a corps. When building tanks you can also disable auto-upgrade in the production tab.

Great! Thanks for pointing that out.

Is this same technique possible for infantry units, artillery, aircraft, ships, etc.?
