-Ammunition constraints (I'd rather do something to all opponents than double to 3 and then nothing to the rest).
-The AI often will not attack units being protected by a unit with the DoubleSupport hero meaning my unit will not fire, will not gain any experience, and perhaps most importantly the AI's units will not be partially damaged and easy to "mop up" via counter-attack on my turn.
This is probs one of the heros whos usefullness changes a lot with diff settings and year of war.
Early war 4 ammunition is more than enough for a support unit to attack during it´s turn and do decent support during enemy turn. late war when the number of units on the map rises even 6 ammunition units run low during enemy turn, especially AA-guns.

Since all AT guns below 4cm caliber have camouflage in the mod utilizing a double support hero early war is not that big of a challenge. Late war he drops drastically in usefullness, i agree on that.

On higher settings with DvG and such having double support on a unit can be extremly usefull when the supporter can be placed out of enemy sight.

Seems there won´t be any more feedback coming in from here.
I´ll start implementing the script to the mod then.
Next big update to the Mod will be after AO45 release and then some.

i just finished my first testrun of the reworked 1939 with the new hero script. i am very happy with how that prestige sink brings back some meaning to prestige and forces decision making. Do i buy that 5k hero or do i need to repair? will i keep that train or do i need the 340 prestige?

here are some screens of the new maps:
new piatek map:

new Spoils of war map
