Forgotten Units Mod and stuff...

[terminator]

So you completely replaced the heavy inf - mortar inf stuff with inf - mortar APC one... am I correct?

Yes that's it.

There's also a SdKfz 250/2 with 37mm AT, you may try. I reserved those to "heavy", combat engineers and Panzer Aufklarungsgruppe scouts (Foot recon/commando mainly with APC support). SOmething similar to your Infanteria Sahariana

The problem with the version AT is the support fire. The SdKfz 250/2 with 37mm AT has to be the unit of departure.

The Sd. Kfz. 251/16 Flammpanzerwagen could be a good idea ?

I wanted to know more about the specialisation "Ersatz". I have created a new specialisation for that.

Amazing there is already a title

There is normally no room for passengers in these SdKfz.251, and especially 250, anymore if they carry weapons like mortars, flamethrowers, and at-guns.
It’s already wrong enough that the tiny Bren carriers are abused so often in war games to carry whole infantry battalions.
But hey, it’s still only a game, right?

Hi Term.,

Great work Terminator and thank you for doing the work and I really , really want to try this mod, but I've got an issue with the Forgotten Units v1.05

I can not run any campaigns, vanilla or eryk's using the mod

I changed the mod.txt from "false" to "true", but when I click on single player content, nothing happens at all


Multiplayer loads, the editor loads, but no single player campaigns. I even tried making a campaign folder in the mod's folder to no avail.

Any and all help would be appreciated and thanks in advance for any and all help

[Admiral_Horthy]

OK, now I have time to respond... damn end-of-the-year craziness at work

Soooo... Terminator.. pls keep up with the experiment I might try to provide you with fighting APC, at least beta.

I didn't understand this

The problem with the version AT is the support fire. The SdKfz 250/2 with 37mm AT has to be the unit of departure.

what do you mean? SdKfz with PAK would be transport, not AT.

Also as Horst said - he has a point - armed APCs are tank/art/spat cheap substitutes not transports. Well, here made them graphical representatives of increased "hardness" factor over a regular mech inf with MG-only transports

Finally this kind of specialization is easy to create

Why would anyone waste so many points into a useless Home-Guard line?

Man, this 7.1.4 is less reliable than the early tigers

[Denes]

I'm sorry for English knowledge.
My question:
Can I replace a fighter with a bomber during a Scenario?
I only have points for 3 airplane so I'm starting with 2 fighters and 1 stuka, but in the middle of the scenario I would like to change, I'll call the figther back to the reserve, and I would take a stuka from the reserve. Is it possible to do so or just at the beginning ?
Thank you very much if someone helps !!

My question:

Yes, if there are preplaced exit-hexes (usually on the borders of the map), you can send units to the reserve and deploy different ones on the next turn.
Another way would be to sell your unit and thus free up air command points for those in reserve.

Example:
unit1(weapon:unit2 AT) <-> unit2(instantRevert)
Next AI turn, the unit2 instantly reverts to unit1. The unit2 will be unable to bring a support fire AT to a neighboring unit which would be attacked by a tank.

Why would anyone waste so many points into a useless Home-Guard line?

It's better to make tests on things of not much utility, it is without risk

I think what the Admiral meant was: If the unit is transport-class it will not give AT support either way. It has to be "anti-tank"-class to do it.

On the other hand, maybe it is possible for an AT-class unit to be assigned as "transport" in the respective column of another unit => E.g. a StuG being the transport of infantry.

Not possible

[Horst]

My past experiments with non-transport classes caused ferried infantry to be only unloaded on airfields with a propeller-sound.
I'm no fan of custom-classes, but maybe a mix of transport and anti-tank traits in classes.txt could still work. No idea.

My past experiments with non-transport classes caused ferried infantry to be only unloaded on airfields with a propeller-sound.

Sounds similar to some test I've run trying to parachute equipment out of air-transports instead of infantry... floating AT units and such were the results...
Doesn't work, or at least I couldn't make it work.

Yes, but I have a problem with this.
1/ I dont want to sell a good veteran unit only for this.
2/ preplaced exit-hexes, yes this is good, but there are not too many this exit point. Blietzkrieg scenerio only 2 two occasion !
But thanks !!!!!!!!!! preplaced exit-hexes is good.

Brandenburgers could be a specialisation (they are somewhere in here) :
