Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront

Hotmod 1968
Less Conquest Units?
I was just wondering if there was possibly a submod or the like that reduces the number of enemy units in conquest, at the moment its just a bit overwhelming for me and I prefer smaller battles vanilla unit numbers are a perfect balance for me. I use West 81, I'm not sure if that is the source of the large unit numbers or if its just regular Hotmod.

Try some games without West 81 and see if you like it like that. If not maybe someone will make a simplified DCQ tech tree submod ;)

By less units I mean less units that spawn during battle not less tech tree units, my bad might've been unclear lol

I just find it overwhelming on like the very first defense I'm getting hit with 6 or 7 superior enemy tanks and tons of infantry while I'm using like 2 weaker tanks and 3 or 4 infantry squads lol

Aaaah, I see.
May I ask what nation you are playing with. It may be a balancing issue or a difficulty issue.

I'm playing as the US against the USSR and from what I can tell the unit number doesn't change based on difficulty I get the same amount of units on easy as on normal.

I will try a quick conquest game later as the USSR against the US and see if the result is still the same.

Edit: I tested out playing as the USSR vs the US and its about the same. On the very first defense I was attacked with 12 tanks and tons of infantry and APCs I was playing on easy. It was easier to deal with than playing as the US side because the first tank the USSR gets, the T-54, is a lot better than the USA's starting tank which is the M41 who can't even frontally pen the T-54 and it was on a large map. It gets really bad when you play on a small map.

We will look into ways for balancing this issue.

West 81 apparently jacks up the numbers in Conquest so you'll get swarmed by enemy units all the time.

Can confirm, West 81 goes absolutely wild with the amount of enemy units on defense missions especially. Sometimes its great fun but others its just constant rushes that you can only fight for so long before getting frustrated.
Hello having same issue. I think west81 enemy units cost zero manpower. I spawned with 1 t-64 and 8 soldiers, and on defense mission, by minute 10, there was 9 enemy tanks and 100+ infantry on the field already. It makes it impossible to play defense missions past day 3. Otherwise fantastic game.
Would love for this to be fixed as I am more into late cold war units than early.
