Ok, so I have a ton of thoughts about my entire army before I start this final year of this epic campaign.

So, I will be dissecting each in portions.

starting with SE units.

last 45 se unit will be arty to start to try and get as quick as possible to at least 3 stars before I try and pop a hero ...

oh, that would be the BE aspect of the game, I am playing the GC on Napoleon difficulty
yikes



goose_2 youtube playthrough GC Napoleon difficulty
GC 1945e1 start upgrade recommendations
4256 prestige , after elite replacements to full strength for all understrength units and selling excess ...

I’ll have to check that out sometime!


From what I have seen, the machine translation is unfortunately pretty bad.

I wanted to do it separately and with some more testing, but I probably have to cut back on modding for a while, due to some ongoing real life situations. :|

Thus I'm not sure ...

I’ve done a lot for Russian players too, and yet they block me—hahaha.Screenshot 2026-06-17 190013.png :lol:


:lol:
I'm blocked there as well. I was just looking at some pictures, don't even have an account there. Next day I wanted to check back on some stuff and that blocked message showed up ...

It’ll probably be fun in its own way )

Thank you for the update!


In the reupload a few mintues ago I also included a highly experimental BE main scenario machine translation (RU, DE, FR).
I'm just not sure if it is a total wreck or just a giant mess. Also only the BE main scenario, no library ...

I translated version 2.4 and then played, but in 2.51 the interface is in English. How can I fix this?


There are a bunch of files that make up the localization.
Weirdly the files in the localization folder can even replace whole menu and scenario files, not just the text for them! Unfortunately ...

Got it! Since you’ve decided to diversify the Italian Navy, don’t forget to add submarines and torpedo boats—which achieved more glory and success than all the Italian battleships and cruisers combined, most of which never actually left the docks and ports in real life.)


The existing Italian ...

So, how's it going with adapting the submod to the new version?

I found no technical issues so far, just some changed and many added graphics.
I still have the feeling that I missed something, but due to recent real life time ...

Hey Buddy, I will set up a time for Saturday if you can make it as my wife will be out with some of the family.

I hope you can make it then.

I am on the 2nd broadcast and the struggle is real.

The most annoying thing that causes me heartburn are the 5 starred units, which are only a few. Thank ...

Is Nebelwerfer now no longer in series? So you cant upgrade them anymore other than paying full cost?


It looks like they are not. I do not remember why it is like that, I think I just wanted to have more unit variety: if the Nebels were in the same upgrade family then players would just ...

looking forward to seeing this fully completed!


There always seems to be more stuff to do. :wink:

Especially when lots of feedback becomes available, based on someone doing a playthrough.
:arrow: Eg goose_2 currently playing the original campaign and the grand campaign east on youtube ...

Curious about the utility of a 5 strength fighter unit.
Isn't it too dangerous to use it in that state?

I did some initial compatibility testing with a new install of
Battlefield Europe 2.5 + Locarnus Addon 2026 base version + Locarnus Addon latest update.

So far I did not find any major compatibility issue, just some graphic changes to adjust to.
Until I have time for further testing, I still ...

Great work on all the changes!
From scripts to graphics!

Before embarking on a long and epic battle, I decided to change the gloomy main image )))

That is a really atmospheric revision of the splash screen!

I’m talking about the first four maps for the Wehrmacht, which serve as a warm-up before the 99-turn battle! I won’t even mention the additional official add-ons and DLCs for now, because you’ll have to put in a massive amount of work again, but it’s worth it )


Yep, those 4 BE warm up maps are ...

When will the submod for the first four maps of the new version 2.5 be ready? Or are you only planning on making global changes to the 99th turn battle?


My first priority is compatibility with the 99 turn scenario and the other campaigns (original, grand campaign, africa & soviet corps).
Second ...

>>This is most likely the final Addon version for BE 2.4.<<

It incorporates much but not all of the feedback so far from the ongoing BE + Addon playthrough by HerzogSieg.
It also takes some of recent discussion in the Battlefield Europe thread into account.

Arty and AA units can now capture ...

Hi Locarnus

I finished Western DLC 42-43 with your mod.

In Tarento scenario there's a DFS 230 used as pure recon unit, it is fully grey.
Maybe another one to change such as Me 323 discussed earlier.

I am happy to have finished it since it is far less funny than Eastern DLC's or even Western ...

I am not sure about Me-262 yet. I kind of want Slender but he is not ready. I might use RMA once he loses his os in Budapest. In other words, deploy RMA as is, and when he gets attacked for his weak fighter stats, then change him to Jet. To start out that way seems not my playstyle.

Thuringen ...

I believe in you and hope your sub mod will get even better! Thank you for all your hard work!


Thank you!
HerzogSieg not being a PzC veteran provided a new perspective.
So based on that there are already many improvements almost ready.



You have given me a lot to chew on as always, thanks

I ...
