1.9 really looking forward to, thanks guys!
this should be a different level of fashion, after all, Turkey can act both on the side of Russia and on the side of NATO, I suppose there will be a condition for this? Plus, of course, well-designed nominal units (like PMC Wagner, BARS, for example) and other nominal units, it would be entourage. Consider this possibility, although this is painstaking work of course.

Damn, I don't watch this forum just the day of the release of MC 1.85 !

I see that some of my remarks were take into account, so I'll do more
But now, my to do list :
1) Look the new Europe map and prepare myself to lost many hours of my life on it. Just a question : this version has still some old scripts or it is a full new scenario with less content in 1.85 ?
2) NATO campaign again, I really like it. But this time, I'll play it with the aim to have an Italian brigade in my army. Adding upgrades for the Ariete was the excuse I needed to launch this campaign again. Even if they can't match other MBT, just being better than the base Ariete would be sufficient to make an Italian brigade more interesting, even if they come late.
3) The main attraction of this version : WWII with Leopards and Eurofighters !


PS : I'm sure that shark knows what he will do with Turkey : I was part of a very loud lobying group (a lobying group with only one person, but I'm sure half of my posts had the word "Turkey" inside at least 5 times each ) for adding them in the mod, he knows we await them

Nice Thanks a lot my friend.

Hello Shark, ah thank you for the gift for the Defender of the Fatherland Day! Respect to you!

Well I will be honest, I was not aware of the Fatherland Day
However, nice to deliver this gift in such important day

Hello Imeror,
1) Old scripts are there. Basically I just remade the terrain, the rest is untouched (it was a truly labor of love, it was madness). Future versions will come with more new stuff and additions.
2) Indeed, update after update, NATO campaign is more attractive because medium or minor nations are receiving new stuff (based on real life of course).
3) It's fun indeed. I can tell you

PS: Actually there were quite a lot of people asking for the Turkiye campaign I am glad that I finally managed to work on the campaign

[bondjamesbond]

The modern battle for Tunisia is a small hell ) French tanks smash my German tanks ) No, no, I'm not crazy, it's just such a fictional company) It's a pity that I don't have pickups with anti-tank complexes, I'll try to change the strategy strategy, maybe something else units))) The bet on the armored fist does not work, so we will look for another key to win )

[Akkula]

Feedback is always welcome
Let's see, maybe Tunisia requires some adjustments why not
But yes, this campaign is harder than the previous ones, is intended.

Best regards,
Akkula.

I'll find the right key to win without cheats and hackery))) Better to make these maps in a single scenario that would be possible to play and for the opposite side French paratroopers just terminators))) You have made the AI much smarter, but it still attacks first with infantry and then only fires artillery.)

Alas, the local Tunisian Army can not be seen )))

Yes, and without the real local population is boring ))))

[gaius21]

how can i distinguish the core from the auxiliary units in the campaigns? their plates have the same colour.

[Akkula]

Hi Gaius,
Actually, aux and core units have different plates:
- Core units have full colored plates
- Aux units have two color plates (like flags)
Maybe not easy to recognize at first glance, but check again, you will see it. Also, I could try to improve the differences between them.

Best regards,
Akkula.

[Estherr]

It is already way better than it used to be in early MdC version =) Still can be a little confusing for a newcomer, compared to "classic" PzC difference.

[glaude1955]

Hello Akkula
I thank you and your collaborators for this new opus of "Modern Conflicts".
This new fictional campaign is very gripping.
The unit images are very nice.
A bug: only the first heroes are visible. For thefollowing, there is no image.
As for the differentiation of main and auxiliary units, I reverted to the vanilla (fitted out) form.
For players who want to find the original style, I attach the modified file. Use JSGME.
Thanks again for your work.
Yves (one of your French fans)

As usual, fantastic work.

I was not fan of the idea of a WWII-themed campaign again, but it is finaly so well executed that it don't matter.
For the first 3 missions : having lighter tanks force to rely more on RPG units and attack helicopter. Usually, I have those units but they were secondary in my armies (especially helicopter, why having them if you can have an A-10 ?). With no heavy tanks, I can't just stomp from a side of the map to the other this time, so I was forced to use them more and it was pleasant.
On a side note, maybe a mini-campaign about partisans or a couter-insurgency could be a nice addition. Even in the syrian campaign where you advise in the library to not overpopulate the core with t-72, my army was nonetheless overpopulated by t-72 and rolling over my opponents was still easy. So a campaign where you can only deploy lighter units should be refreshing (even if some heavy auxiliaries from time to time would be helpful).
3 very good missions, where there is enough time to complete DV.

Unfortunately, things changed with mission 4. British attacks en masse with Challengers I, I had to retry this mission. Heavy units are requiered in great number, so I had to buy many Leo II. Well, it seems that light warfare is already over :/ And then with those new units, crushing the attack was easy.
So, since nothing happened, I launched an attack myself, capturing multiple cities ; but then, I saw that another wave was launched while I was finishing to capture cities. Even if my army was able to easily defeat the units they came accross, some enemy units managed to bypass my army and, even if I was able to reach and destroy them, one of them survived and reached the key city ... So I will be forced to do a 3rd round.
I advise you to create a script where a message appear : "another wave of attack is approaching", something like that.

And good idea about opposing sides : Germany and Italy are playable in WW3 Nato campaign but both are unlocked very late. It's a good way to make some of those units shine. Unfortunately ... the Ariete are already outdated :'(
Nice design but not effective, I should make up my mind.




Salut Yves, vous n'êtes pas le seul dans ce pays sur ce bon vieux Panzer Corps !

[Imeror]

Small bug at the "Mersa Matruh Higway" mission : A Tornado ECR with an italian flag is available in the german unit list.
If I select "show all nations", 2 identical "Tornado ECR" with italian flag appear.
I think it's because one of them is suposed to have a german flag instead of an italian one.

Another small bug : When an air unit (in my case, an AMX international AMX, maybe it's only with this particular unit above) fly above a M109A6 Paladin, the rear part of the Paladin is in black. It's on a desert map with camo mod activated.
Not a big deal neither, but if you want to correct small problems, here's one.

That's it for now.

From a gameplay point of view, I've crossed my first Challengers II and Leclercs with my Leopards 2A5 and Arietes ; that was... unpleasant. This middle part of the campaign is very oriented toward heavy vehicles. I usually like to have a "lighter warfare", but I still have fun with heavy tanks rolling everywhere



Edit :

El Alamein siege mission is insanely hard. Until now, I had only DV (but one) ; I begin this mission with a very strong army of veteran units and 4 000 pretige points : loss are still colossal.
I've never seen a level so difficult either from this mod or vanilla game, I think it need an important decrease in difficulty. I'm not even sure I would manage to beat it in normal without half my army dead.

I see that Uzbek post some messages about his campaign, I am curious if he managed to win this mission.

My best bet for now is to abandon the German base and regroup my army into only two strong groups. I can defeat the first assault in 4 turns with moderate loss, but after that too much units die each time a challenger group attack. Attack helicopter and missile units like marder don't cause enough damage ; leopards 2 can't keep them busy long enough ; infantry are useless in desert terrain ; and 20 turns force to rush a little bit.

Maybe I should just finish this mission no matter the cost and just hope the following missions are not as hard as this one.

Hi Glaude. I am glad you are enjoying the new update. Thanks for your kind words

It is a rare glitch indeed. So far I couldn't find the reason of this bug

It is already way better than it used to be in early MdC version =) Still can be a little confusing for a newcomer, compared to "classic" PzC difference.

I will take a look later. Maybe the aux plates can be tweaked a little bit more

As usual, fantastic work.

Thanks a lot man. And I can tell you the mod will get better and better in the future

I was not fan of the idea of a WWII-themed campaign again, but it is finaly so well executed that it don't matter.

Hehe. Yeah, with MdC I tried move away as far as possible from WW2. I think that period has been dealt to death by now, modern stuff (historical and fictional WW3) is a topic not abundant in terms of Turn-Based games.
But yeah, I liked the idea of make some Afrika Korps a-la WW3 , just for the fun of it.

Unfortunately, things changed with mission 4

Well, I am expecting to gather some feedback from everybody to tweak the campaign if necessary. Future updates will be focused on the Turkiye campaign (and more new stuff), but of course North Africa 2022 will be updated if needed.

Small bug at the "Mersa Matruh Higway" mission : A Tornado ECR with an italian flag is available in the german unit list.
If I select "show all nations", 2 identical "Tornado ECR" with italian flag appear.

Thanks for the catch!. I will deal with it immediately, an easy fix. Sorry about that.

Ahh yes. I saw that one in few other units since day 1, back in 2016 !
It is related to some camos offsets for sure. I will fix it. Thanks for reporting it.

El Alamein siege mission is insanely hard.

Interesting. I will revisit that one.
I remember facing really hard challenges during my tests, so I tuned down some enemy forces in several scenarios. Maybe in this scenario I should make "another pass" in terms of AI nerfing.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, it helps a lot to find the "issue".

Thank you everyone for your kind words and comments!
I really appreciate it!

Best regards,
Akkula.

Hello,i'm italian. Sorry if my english is not very good.
I wanted to play with your expansion but i don't know how to do it.
I must have a copy of panzer corps (are all versions fine? gold ecc? )
It's ok to have it by steam?
After that i have to download content 1.85....
And after?

[Estherr]

Buongiorno Luciocabrio!

Steam version will do just fine.

Firstly, you need to download and install Generic Mod Enabler tool (link and instructions).

Then download latest Modern Conflicts version and check readme file for installation instructions. The crucial part with MdC is to replace original Panzer Corps .exe file with 1.32 version in order to be able to use advanced mechanics. Readme file contains these step too though.

Ok thanks, sorry but i'm not good with these things.
So i can buy the game meanwhile
Install it
After i instal Generic Mod Enabler
and go ahead

But if i want to play with "normal" game too? or another mod ? (like italian campaign 2.00) it's possible?
or once the mod is installed you can only play with that

where can I find a list with Italian vehicles on the mod?
Grazie

[Imeror]

Generic Mod Enabler will allow you to activate or desactivate any mod you put in your mod folder.
Launch it, select what you want to play, close it, then launch your game and enjoy the version (vanilla or any mod) you choose. In less than 2 minutes, you can change your game from a mod to another.

Don't worry it's very easy to use, and as long as you install everything as Esther tell you, you should not have any problem.



Edit : You should try the vanilla campaign at least once, it is already very good itself. Some mods are harder than base game, so you should begin with this one first and learn some basics in my opinion.
