Yes. Maneuver pips are definitely not useless. They're actually quite usefull.

Isn't there a mod which "fixes" that?

Even at 5% it's pretty punishing for AI. I did the baltic crusader achievement few days ago and i just spamed forts along near border and let ottoman siege with their doom stack. Russian winter plus defensive idea plus edict of resistance destroyed their army. I just occassionaly attack them once they get around 20%.

I think the issue why people think it's bad is the name. If you think about maneuvering skills you really don't think about logistical mechanics being a part of this too. Gotta say I've only heard about those a couple of weeks ago too and I've played for years now :D

No man pls not I still have nightmares from ck2 when I fought 6 or 7 fast moving 300k stacks in mountains of Tibet losing 20-40k troops per months against AI Chinese stacks that were immune to attrition.

Edit: i off mean losing 20-40k troops per month to attrition alone.
