Tech Tree Recommendations
Have ideas for nations that lack a detailed tree? Think ingame unit X should be exchanged for unit Y? Post them here!

Well, I'm about to get the DLC's, and as of what I've seen, it's much less an equipment 'exchange', it just makes the game more... Historically accurate ( As the Landkreuzer P. 1000 "Ratte", along with the P. 1500 "Monster", were actual German tank designs. I just figured you would add them for... Y'know, historical accuracy! ) .

what about adding a line of SMGs to the inf equipment? MP40s, PPshs, Type 100, Thompsons, Sten Guns etc should be an optinion to be prodruced. Also maybe add Armored Cars to the Tank tech tree? Sdkfz 250 for the Sdkfz 11?

We aren't adding in SMGs. Adding in even more infantry equipment will make the system spiral out into a monster.

A good couple of mods to integrate into this would be ‘Armed Forces Overhaul’, Di Day’s Common Units of WW2, and Expanded Resources.

Maybe add in more planes for the countries like in BlackICE

We are not doing country unique aircraft trees. They are a massive headache as they do not significantly contribute to gameplay relative to the work needed to create and maintain them.

i thi´nk u should consider swapping the mp 40 in in exchange for one of the gewehr 41 models. its pretty much useless to have 3 variants of the g41 in quick succesion while smthng like the mp40 is missing i think. for missing pictures of tank variants i have found another mod which has them made, can post it if u want.

Maybe a super heavy tank unit with the maus being researchable?

I'd just like add, realistic production so for example, appropriate equipment numbers for per battalion so 1 gun per man where needed would greatly improve and enhance this mod, I agree with "The Kaiser", coal and wheat would be nice "in demand" style resources to greatly amplify the neccessity of conquering, the Rhineland for coal, Ukraine for wheat and caucusus for oil and Turkey for cromium (I cant remember how to spell it lol) and so forth. You get the idea, but maybe institute a production effect when you lack material like above and in general, so if you lack oil, you cant produce vehicles or even use them maybe, (although we could withdraw them to a city maybe, using horses Im not really sure how or if you can do this but just a thought). ANYWAY, you get the general idea of what would make this mod better. Although it wouldnt be too much to ask for actual ships for the chinese or planes and vehicles in general for them would it? I mean they are a major power. Thank you for listening. Keep up the good work.

We are not considering adding in new resources at this time; any consideration of changes to resources will have to wait until MTG comes out.

As for China, we have the joint issue of lacking information for what they would use. This is particuarily bad for ships given the Chinese lacked a notable fleet until the 1960s, and even then it was not particularily large. While we are not oppposed to expanding their tech tree, it is quite the opposite, we lack the means to do so.

I could do some research for you maybe then, Im more then happy too and im gonna study history for a degree at some point.
QuaisWaffle 3 Nov, 2018 @ 3:29am 
Btw, did I meantion if you could add more eqpt for infantry so its more realistic? Thats the actualy reason for hitler invading the czech (as well as for gold). But yeah, needed their factories and weapons. Just a thought but I hope that is not too much to ask.
Lavo  [developer] 4 Nov, 2018 @ 5:58am 
No, we are not adding in more infantry equipment. Having two types is enough and more than that causes AI and gameplay issues.
QuaisWaffle 5 Nov, 2018 @ 5:51am 
Alright, fair enough. Thanks for hearing me out.

You should look at Armed Forces Overhaul
They have amazing tank and aircraft trees that are all customly drawn
Because at the moment you infantry trees are so much more developed than the tanks or planes
