Softcap mechanics

[Plaid]

Probably was asked million times already, but how exactly this thing works?
I thought it's based on average unit value, but it seems it's not.

I am at start of USA East Coast scenario, game shows Soft cap: 44% and I have 2 empty core slots.
Then I buy 2 Volkssturm infantries, as they cost only 60 it's supposed to significantly reduce average unit value. But it does not, soft cap even goes down to 43% after that.

Try this page viewtopic.php?t=51105 or one of many others you can probably find from there.

The average is based on the available slots not the actual deployed ones. So when you deploy the Volkssturm that slot goes from 0 to 60 in the average calculation.
