Description:

Due to extended issues of personal and technical nature, I will no longer de able to engage in modding and modding-related activites for an indefinite amount of time. This submod is no longer supported, meaning it will no longer be updated and any questions on its performance will no longer be answered to. Any modder on Steam Workshop is allowed to reuse all or part of the content within this submod without asking for prior authorization and within the guidelines set by Paradox’s Mod Policy.[www.paradoxplaza.com] I would like to sincerely apologize for the abandonment of this project and thank you all for your continued support, hoping its remains will allow other modders and submodders to create even more original work to improve Millennium Dawn: Modern Day Mod through submodding.

This submod for Ted52’s Millennium Dawn: Modern Day Mod (v0.28.1, 06/09/17) adds new equipment and units to play around with, almost all of them from vanilla HOI4. If MD is work-in-progress, consider this highly experimental, especially in terms of gameplay balance. In some cases, the stats have been reworked, and they are in no way final.

The submod makes the following units playable, with some strings renamed along the way.

* Multirole (Carrier)
– A variant of the multirole fighter usable with aircraft carriers.
– Same stats as the multirole, 20% more expensive.

* Attack Aircraft (non-Carrier)
– Attack aircraft have been split between non-Carrier and carrier-capable versions.
– The carrier-capable version (default in base MD) is 20% more expensive.

* Self-Propelled Anti-Air (SPAA)
– Anti-Air variant of the Main Battle Tank.
– 2x more air attack than its MBT parent, same speed, lower armor, hardness and breakthrough.
– Same cost as the MBT.

* Guided Missiles
– Stats modified. 500/1000/3000 km range, 1700/3400/6800 km speed, 150/300/600 strategic bombing damage.
– Cost modified: 50/75/100 IC.
– Air agility decreases depending on the model: 15/10/5

* Airborne Assault Vehicle (Tank, tank destroyer, IFV etc).
– Light Tank variant deployable as a batallion with your paratroopers.
– Same stats as light tank if not for lower armor/hardness.
– Has no organization on its own so use it wisely.

* Utility Helicopters
– Can be deployed within the Air Assault infantry battalion and the Air Recon support units.
– Low armor, defence and reliability stats.
– 8 techs from 1955 to 2016. Unique localization and gfx for majors up to 2008 or 2016.

* Attack Helicopters
– Can be deployed within the Attack Helicopter battalion and the Helicopter Gunship support units.
– Anti-tank with a rotor, but low armor, defence and reliability stats.
– 8 techs from 1955 to 2016. Unique localization and gfx for majors up to 2008 or 2016.

The following units have also been modified:
* Multirole (Fighter)
– The multirole is now actually multirole, able to perform all standard air missions from interception to strategic bombing. It won’t excel just as well as dedicated units such as bombers and MPA, however.
– Added a strategic bombing stat.

* Transport Plane
– Base range and speed nerfed.
– Now has 7 researchable updates. Generic localization and gfx.

NOTES:
– The AI seems to research the techs for these, and even add carrier fighters to its production, but don’t expect it to use the new units efficiently. Or even use them at all.
– Generic and country-based localization and GFX (what you see when you’re playing basically) are work-in-progress.

COMPATIBLE SUBMODS:
– A Millennium Dawn Submod: Turkish March for my Turkey overhaul featuring new events, advisors, mechanics.
– Millennium Dawn: Technology Expansion, which currently adds futuristic shielding and power efficiency technologies (Link to compatibility patch).

Suggestions and feedback for pretty much anything are most welcome. To report gameplay/graphics issues and suggest stuff, please use the discussions.
