Which mod(s) to upgrade?

[airbornemongo101]

I'm posting this becuase I'm interested in what the community thinks about how I should proceed with patching my mods

Should I patch all three mods:

SS Panzer Corps -You are able to purchase Waffen SS units, but the only bonus unit is the Storch

Heer Total SE -Has all Heer units available as bonus units,but no Waffen SS

Elite Units -player is able to purchase Waffen SS units as well as having all Heer units available as bunus units

Or should I just concetrate on doing the Elite Unit with some added units : FW-189,Maultier (Maultier will be avl for Heer,SS, Heer SE),plus a couple more

Or should I do a combination of the above?

Post replies below .

I'll start work on Friday night.

That should be plenty of time for the community to weigh in

MONGO, MY VOTE GOES FOR ELITE UNITS MOD BECAUSE IT ALLOWS USE OF MORE UNITS. But perhaps eventually you will be able to convert them all. They are all great and everyone loves them. Is it too mind boggling/frying to combine the best features of them all. I really like a combination of Heer and SS units personally.

Thanks Dwight,,btw congrats on your promotion...Lt.

Now that ur not enlisted I may not be able to speak to you anymore . I do have my standards

He Who Insists On Static-Line Only,

Thank God I am still a non-com then... at this rate, it will be a decade before I am a zero.

Regardless of rank, I would choose the SS Mod - but the others are mondo too. The Storch is a unit I rely upon and deploy often... give me deep intel! Gots to know the threat axis.

Did you ever get "voluntold?"

[airbornemongo101]

Numerous times....both in the service and out. It usally went something like this..... (both in the service and out)

"Bryant"!!!!

Yes sir!

"I have an excellent oppurtunity for you to excel and shine"

Oh great

"What did you just say?!!"

I said outstanding,sir

"Good you just volunteered for... enter somekind of dangerous job or bullshit detail or overtime here

Herr Total SE is the only one to use as the others are not historic and upset the balance of the game.

Player only buy SS units.

A player doesn't need to have those extra attributes on those SS units.

The game is easy enough in stock form.

I would suggest the Elite units mod makeover with new units such as the Alkett and the ones you also said.Is there anyway to include ss div insignias if not no biggie just a suggestion:) anyway im sure it will rock

Not really steam..I would have to find the icons (making them is beyond my skill set) and then make "new countries" for each divison.

We'll have the icons and lots of units when Chris comes out with his PZC Grand Strategy.

Most likely I'm gonna revamp all three of the mods from scratch.

I didn't think about adding the Alkett..will give that one some thought

I agree with razz, the player buys all SS units and IMO it gets kinda ridiculous. Personally, I changed the name of the stock SE units (infantry and tanks) to SS, and find that having 5 or 6 SS divisions is realistic for me.

I gave each one a different divisonal name and big unit insignia.

[airbornemongo101]

I'm just gonna re-do all three of 'em

I'll knock out the Elite Units 1st and then the Heer SE and the SS Panzer when I get the time.

@4key

Drop steam a line he's looking for some divisional icons

[guille1434]

Yes! Well thought airborne... and IF you can, add those units you mentioned...
I will soon start to convert SE and SS AA units in their respective AT versions, if you are interested...

Thanks!

[airbornemongo101]

Yep guille... go ahead.

I will color them ,when I get a chance so they match the camo schemes of the SS & SE

Mongo, I just caught his comment, it seems he is suggesting you use them in your mod. It's a good idea because, to me, it increases enjoyment

I went on wikipedia because the images of the SS divisional insignias were already in .png format. I put 'em in place of the bigunit images, and re-sized 'em to fit the in-game right-click information window. In the EQP table, the Full Names were changed according to the division I desired each unit to be, and intead of "SS Grenadier" it shows "Waffen-SS Grenadier".

Großdeutschland gets the Panther D, short name being "Heer-Elite Panther D". I'm unsure of what the full-name should be, Panzer Brigade 10/Großdeutschland, or simply Panzer Regiment Großdeutschland. Did that designation exist at that time?

I increased the price by 100 and increased the stats, pretty much everything by one, even ROF, except SA and movement. Since the player will not have many SS units, I felt this to be O.K. to do, especially considering the SS Tiger is 1300 prestige and the SS Kingtiger is 1500. I had a, SS tank get killed, which kept his hero (A2) with the reform units cheat. I turned him into a Tiger and still had a tough time green ('43-'44 GTPG.)

I can contirbute my work to your mod if you're cool with that, Mongo.

Edit: I noticed I also have SS SPAT as well, except for the Marder series and towed guns. These only have the "SS-Runen" bigunit png with no divisional names.

[airbornemongo101]

Cool

Let me get the base equipment file and Elite Units complete and released and then we can add your stuff into it.

It's gonna be a little bit more before I can get working in earnest on revamping the Elite Units.
