Questions about equipment

[dragos]

1) Looking in the equipment file, Panzer III E is available from 27.5.1939, but in DLC 39 it becomes available from the Oslo scenario. What's happening?

2) Why has Panzer 35(t) been left out? It was also one of the main tanks used by Romania in WW2.

That's a IIIF actually.

The IIIE and the 35T were both somewhat marginalized by the 38T. When the original units went into production for the game, there were only so many units we could have, so it was more or less decided the presence of the 38T in the game didn't lend itself to needing an active IIIE for Poland or an 35T.

I suppose there is no hard-coded limitation to the number of units that can be added to equipment file (provided images exist), am I right?

So far, I haven't heard about any limit to the equipment file or efx file.

The case can be made that for the original PzC those models werent needed but for the GC39 it would be nice to have some more toys to play with.

Equipment for minors is seriously lacking indeed. Though for the main campaigns where you're supposed to play Germany it isn't so much of a prob, but for scenario/campaign modders wanting to do "something else" it may be.

Otoh this keeps us modders something to do, so I m not complaining. The artist doing all the unit gfx for PzC surely had a titanic job given the number of units already in the game.

If people may excuse the shameless plug - you can find a Pz 35 here:
