Combat Width in Hearts of Iron 4 is NOT difficult - But MANY videos out there overcomplicate things, and they MAKE IT DIFFICULT...

So let's start simple, we'll go through what makes combat width, why it matters, what's better, why, and why it then varies under various situations. DLC is off (although it doesn't matter, same rules apply regardless!)

BEFORE the end of this video, you WILL get it. As this video gets towards the end, I will repeat everything in a different way at least once, so everyone can understand it.
