New unit trait "veteranUpgrade"

[GabeKnight]

There's a new trait with the Soviet Guards infantry units: "veteranUpgrade"

Has somebody already experimented with it? What does it do exactly? Is it possible to "abuse" it for new unit ideas?

Where exactly did you see the word "veteranUpgrade"?
It's not mentioned for the Gds in the Nav Tool, and I can't see it on the units themselves in the editor.

This new unit trait seems directly related to specialization, I do not feel that this feature can be used for other units

Here it is in the Specialisation screen, some text is missing

Thanks, Spike, for your effort, but I was talking about the unit trait, not the spec. It's found in the units file; with the units...

No, just tested it with an "elite" version of the KV2: It works as upgrade for other units as well. Nice.

Now I'll have to come up with some ideas for a reasonable application in the game...

Good news, it would then be possible to have Guards Tanks and Guards Artillery ?
Did you use a new specialization or the existing Guards Infantry specialization ?

You don't need a spec for the trait to work. The "Guard" spec is basically just limiting the purchase of the units.

But the trait obviously unlocks access to the new units to any 4-star unit inside the same unit-class. The possibilities are interesting, at the least.
