Patches' UI Edits for Huge Nerds

Featured as one of NWI's favorite DoI mods![newworldinteractive.com]

Are you a Huge Nerd™? Does it bother you that the game doesn't give things the exact proper names? Have you ever wanted to know exactly what filling is in your grenades, or how long the fuze is? How about the ordnance and estimated time-on-target for your fire support? Does it bother you that the map description for Comacchio says 1944 when the Allies hadn't advanced that far until 1945?

If that's the case, you're not alone. Extensive research of WWII-era equipment and operations by some dork with too much free time (me) has resulted in a near-total rewrite of much of the game's UI text. This mod is only for the English-language UI. I don't speak any other languages, and no other language files are included.

- Proper, historically accurate names for most weapons and equipment
- Improved weapon descriptions
- Extended map descriptions
- Detailed support descriptions & distinct names
- Unique "flavor text" names & descriptions for unlockables
