The add_equipment command in Hearts of Iron IV can be shortened to ae - ae is simply an alias, the two commands have exactly the same function. This command serves the basic but essential purpose of adding/cheating in equipment such as infantry equipment, anti tank equipment, etc. Cheating in equipment can be useful in many circumstances, for example, it can be useful for new players looking to learn/experiment with the mechanics of the game, and also useful for those who are just looking to have some fun playing the game less seriously.
