NSB Tank Overhaul

Are you tired of building perfect medium tank divisions every game? Would you like to more accurately recreate Tanks and Armored Divisions of the Second World War or simply see what new designs of yours prosper – and which fail? This Mod tries to bring you those experiences and more. It is meant mainly for Singleplayer, mainly because of balance concerns, but can be fun in Multiplayer as well.

The new research tree introduces a weapon tree, including different ammunition types for tank cannons. There are new modules such as Open-Top Turrets, upgraded Engines and Armor Types as well as Late-Game upgrades to add more flavor for different Tank Types.

The Designer got an upgrade as well. There is a dedicated slot for Radios as well as two new Special Module Slots, allowing for more customization. Additionally, a slot for Additional Armaments (Turret mounted MGs or similar weapons) and one for Primary Ammunition Type (Kinetic rounds for cannons – chemical rounds for howitzers) have been added.

A Resource to represent a nations capacity of actually producing vehicles in the tens of tons has been added: The Heavy Manufacture. Every Nation starts with at least a bit of this Resource and more can be gained by building Tank Manufacture Facilities (per decision).

All Tanks need this new resource to be produced.

Country-specific Localisation has been added for Germany and the Soviet Union. Historical Cannon and Ammunition Names are now displayed. This will be expanded upon in the future.

Armored Cars and Mechanized each get a Anti Air and Tank Destroyer variant which can be used instead of the regular support companies.

An experimental Designer for both equipment types has been added as well, this must be enabled in the Game Rules.

A lot of rebalancing and other smaller changes have been made. Most of these can be easily found by simply playing the game. If you have made it this far reading and want to try this mod, please enjoy yourselves and happy map colouring!

Any kind of feedback, both positive and negative, would be greatly appreciated. Please leave your opinions in the Comments and Discussions, as well as sharing the Mod if it is to your liking.
