I don't think it's any particularly great secret that combat potential tables tend to reflect implicit biases of institutions though?The American combat potential calculations skewed towards assigning the greatest combat power to American heavy divisions and the lowest to the Dutch, not unlike the Soviet combat potentials skewing towards Soviet heavy divisions being the best and Romanians or East Germans being the worst.Without seeing the underlying algorithm, and how it is calculated, it's not a terribly useful number except for determination of COFM. It's certainly not as useful as comparing publicly available information like payload capacity, maximum range, cruise speed, g-ratings, etc, but it is probably a good comparison point for the General Staff or someone who has access to COFM algorithms and can work backwards.
