Since the game is scaled at corps level, specialised units could be added like 'Commanders' to make a corps more powerful in a specific situation. Heavy tank corps were planned (this unit is still present within some files) but locked. Historically heavy tanks were attached to divisions or corps in seperate tank battalions, so let's add them like Commanders - similiar to the game Hearts of Iron.
For instance reaching tech level 3 makes heavy tanks available for purchase that can be added to a corps boosting its attack and defend stats. This battalion could be reattached to another corps if you wish. Beside heavy tanks these supporting units could be self-propelled artillery, rocket-artillery, tankhunters, engineers, marines, paras, amphibious tanks or anti-air units.
With the ability from patch 1.04 to name your corps this feature would add a lot of depth to the game.
Currently I could add a named tank battalion (like 501st or 502nd Heavy Tank Battalion) to a corps like a commander but this corps loses the ability to add a commander and its availability is also possible in 1939 scenario. So I'm not fully satisfied with this workaround.
For now I've mainly modded some unit graphics and tweaked unit appearances (no Maus or JS III, Panther before Tiger, Hurricane before Spitfire, no UK tanks in US army, no german fighters like Me262 for Italy ...) and added two commanders, all work in progress and much more to be done -> see pix below
