Seems that this may need to be addressed...
That's not how things work. Those frequency numbers in the injury database are all relative. If you had only two arm injuries in there, and one had a '5' frequency, and one had a '1' frequency, that would just mean that when OOTP wants a guy to have an arm injury, it will almost always use the '5' diagnosis. But changing those numbers doesn't change how many injuries you get. If you want to change the number of injuries you have, adjust the injury frequency in Game Setup.

There are ways to adjust the balance of long and short injuries by editing injuries.txt as well, but you'd need to know how the injury system works. I can explain if anyone's really interested in doing that, but only if that's the case, because it would take me a while!
