Here is a request, could you please do Hungarian?

Great, it ads jet icons and some other cool stuff, but makes all carrier variants black^^
Seems it needs an update.

Will there be a Aircraft Icons for the french air forces?
Evil Genius 748 11 Mar, 2020 @ 8:18am 
Anyone know if this still works in 1.9?

I'm down with most of the aircraft here, but for the US fighters, it should be P-36 in 1936, P-40 in 1940, and P-51 in 1944.

i like how you completely replaced the ho 229. that thing would have been garbage.

Hello is it possable that we can use some of your Plane-Tank icons for our mod 00 HOI4 Total Reskin Pack
Jdexpress 26 Aug, 2018 @ 9:06am 
I would like to know how you make these icons because i want to make some myself

Please take some icon requests, I need you ;'-((((

An update! YEEEEEEEEEES!
Warrent 15 May, 2018 @ 8:32am 
Thank you for doing what has anoyed me from the start. do u have the mod files? I'd like to learn how to make changes to the aircraft so that there are 1936, 1939, 1942 and 1945 which fits much better with aircraft development

You ARE alive! :O

France?

Hey tom do you think you'd be up for doing a few division insignia/badge requests for the new customizable icons? Would be hugely grateful to you!
Skipper 13 Mar, 2018 @ 2:06pm 
It's updated for patch 5.0?
castormarco 7 Aug, 2017 @ 12:32pm 
Great mod! Thanks a lot!
Beerbryan 2 Aug, 2017 @ 1:53pm 
The Jet Tac 1 Bomber for America could be the B-45.

Thanks!

You can check the content of the mod to see how the files are changed (it's a .zip format archive) but it's probably best to ask about this in the modding sub-section on Paradox' official forums. People should be able to give you more detailed instruction there.
Sgt. Panther 13 Jul, 2017 @ 7:36am 
Okay how can I edit the files to make it happen myself? (The files that are in the game to begin with,not yours ;D)
stm8022  [author] 13 Jul, 2017 @ 5:29am 
@Sgt.Horseface, i could maybe see the FW200 as 1940 tier choice, but definitely not the last one (its career as the naval bomber was cut after mid 1941 or so) Ultimately i've decided on the Dornier bombers, because they're known for being platforms for innovative anti-shipping weapons of the time. Sorry about that :)

"Have you ever thought of makeing a expanded air tech tree for example the years could be 1933 (interwar) 1936, 1939, 1942, 1944 or 45 then jets and a example for fighters for america could be 1933 P26, 1936 P40, 1939 P51 (early version) 1942 P51D (later version) 1944/45 P75"

Agreed, P-51D is the definitive version of the Mustang and I would love to see that version icon be used in the mod.
Sgt. Panther 9 Jul, 2017 @ 5:01pm 
Can you make the German tier 3 naval bomber the FW 200 instead... it needs more love:steamsad:

alberto_ascani 7 Jul, 2017 @ 8:52am 
France?

Thank you for replying!!!
stm8022  [author] 22 Jun, 2017 @ 12:11pm 
I haven't put all mods in the single set, because in my experience different people want different things :> most of the mods i made were updated to 1.4 the remaining ones are the balanced research and expanded tank tree, since they require some more testing and tweaks to ensure they work sensibly with the update changes.
GPounda 22 Jun, 2017 @ 8:59am 
@stm8022 - this looks great!!! Two questions, go you have your entire collection as one subscription and have you had an opportunity to make it 1.4 compatible?
Machinegewehr42 18 Jun, 2017 @ 7:50pm 
It will be great if you can add french airplanes. I find out that the graphics about is kind of poor.
Étendard 18 Jun, 2017 @ 6:43am 
I hope to see Sweden !
battleship101 15 Jun, 2017 @ 4:14pm 
Update? Please
leteo39 14 Jun, 2017 @ 8:15pm 
and hungary? pretty please? :c
Pres 5 Jun, 2017 @ 9:02am 
Thanks
stm8022  [author] 5 Jun, 2017 @ 4:30am 
I should really get around adding poor France, shouldn't i? Sorry, other stuff happened and i was n't doing any modding at all. Will see if i can find some time for it.
Pres 1 Jun, 2017 @ 7:44pm 
... France?
Jdexpress 27 May, 2017 @ 7:48am 
But the icons look great much better than the PDX ones
Jdexpress 27 May, 2017 @ 7:47am 
I understand But i wist PDX would have made the air slots 1932 1935 1938 1941 and 1944 so it would add aextra slot for aircraft
stm8022  [author] 27 May, 2017 @ 7:13am 
Fighter slots for the USA are bit problematic -- ideally, there should be one more, so it'd be possible to squeeze in P36 and have it evolve into P40 -> P51, with the latter twos shifted couple years further. As it is, the choice is a compromise which allows P51 to show up around the time where it actually appeared, and look the way it did back then, and to squeeze in P-75 which shows the shape evolution that resulted in P80.
A while ago PDX devs expressed interest in the idea of adding support for different icons for variants of the equipment, instead of just inheriting the appearance of the original model. I think this would allow nicely to add the change in the looks of P51, better than forcing it into the '44 slot, anyway.
Jdexpress 26 May, 2017 @ 2:36pm 
For America the p 51 should be in the 1944 slot yes the p 51 was made in 1940 but the icon you put was one of its early stages it looked a lot differnt in 1944 and the p 51d was the most produced
stm8022  [author] 6 May, 2017 @ 4:12am 
Yeah, no problem with that :)
AlgerianGeneral 5 May, 2017 @ 11:07am 
Hello there sir,

I was wondering if it was possible to use your great piece of art into our Realism Overhaul mod, of course you get full credits and a link to your mod
stm8022  [author] 27 Mar, 2017 @ 6:03pm 
I can't find any good numbers either, but i think it'd be decent presumption to make that overall Seafires had slightly bigger presence, given they were put on the frontlines earlier. (i admit i picked Firefly in part also because it's a different silhoutte, and not just another Spitfire ;)
A while ago i mentioned on the official forums it'd be nice if we could have multiple equipment entries per tier, basically just cosmetic appearances which would allow to add some of these aircrafts that also make a good match, and it sparked some dev interest.... so you never know, there's hope :3
Sh1fter 26 Mar, 2017 @ 4:48am 
Thanks for the reply, In hindsight finding out the seafire's production was mostly post WW2 I'd defineatly agree with you. Shame there isnt a 1942 slot. Couldnt find a statistic for the firefly's production history but plausibly the seafire could replace it in 44?
stm8022  [author] 25 Mar, 2017 @ 3:17pm 
I'm not sure how they make zero sense, compared to suggested alternative. While you can track the design for Fulmar to ~1937 if you stretch thinge enough, it was only introduced into service in early 1940 On the other hand Seafire didn't make it to the frontlines unti mid-1942, and a large part of that number built was produced after 1945.

Sea Gladiators were introduced in 1937, and while being phased out when the war broke out, they still saw plenty of combat in the early part of it. By then they also pretty much replaced the Nimrod, which made appearance in 1933.

Firefly is already in the 1944 slot.

Given these, i think the current setup is a decent reflection of how the development of British naval fighters went in that period, and allows the units to roughly play the roles they played historically. I won't claim it's ideal, but "zero sense" and the "desperate" need of change i have to write off as just empty intrawebs hyperbole.
Sh1fter 24 Mar, 2017 @ 12:27am 
The British Carrier Borne fighters desperately need to be changed, they make zero sense.
1936: Fulmar = 600 built
1940: Seafire = 2300 built
1944: Firefly = 1700 built

Replacing the Nimrod with Sea Galdiator would be also a sound idea.
Gen.Feldm.Rommel 23 Mar, 2017 @ 11:54am 
Hello Im Gen.Feldm. Rommel from the China National Focus mod. Im very impressed with your mod. I would like us to work together with our mods.
Étendard 21 Mar, 2017 @ 5:21am 
Okay, I wasn't knowing that, cool to learn new things.

So, I get a request for you... it seems that your mod isn't 100% compatible with Realistic Air Missions.The perfect thing could be a version of Realistic Air Missions which use your sprites when it's possible with no superposition of names/wrong sprites like when I load the both mods

Could you do something about this please ? A lot of RAM implemented aicraft are the same than you, but your textures are better, so...

Hope you understood me, English not perfect because I'm French.
