In the example of the Normandy campaign it was found that the aggregate kill reports of all arms would place more tank losses in Normandy than German records have in Normandy, and the airforce alone claimed to have killed 3x the German armour present. Now you could attribute this to Air power, but that would fly wildly in the face of ground attack effectiveness surveys of the USA army (based on their own plane sorties conducted after the war, also sorry no link) in which they determined the Air force was woefully inadequate at engaging and destroying ground targets. Often cases, these units were the aforestated KV or T-34 battalions. This inconsistent reaction, coupled with the vast majority of Red Army forces being either on par with the German forces or vastly inferior in most metrics allowed the Germans to overrun and encircle any military unit they could not defeat in a direct engagement. In the case of Barbarossa the Red Army was reeling from the Surprise attack and the various Corps and Division commanders reacted with a huge variety of actions, some going straight into a counter offensive, some withdrawing, others staying put and fighting. Yes, both of those are important but they are never required, in game or IRL. Partially implemented: USA, FRA (missing flavour gfx and names for tank variants)Ĭompatibility with other mods: will conflict with mods which alter technologies panel, tank technology branch, or setup files of the major countries.You are really overrating air power, and the ability to frontally penetrate the enemy armour is also heavily overrated. * new equipment type added: armoured train * new equipment type added: infantry fighting vehicle * new equipment type added: armoured cars and heavy armoured cars * removed research links between technology branches, to reduce ability to rush late-game techs * research time of individual models reduced from 200 to 180 days, to keep similar overall research time * line-up of medium and heavy tanks expanded to five tiers Replaces default tank icons with slightly more accurate versions in the same style, adding where available custom icons for anti-tank, artillery and anti-air variants (with generic icons for fictional models) Adds few more types of armoured fighting vehicles. Modifies default tank technology tree, expanding it with extra tiers of medium and heavy tanks to better represent historical tank development.
