Description:

THIS MOD DOES NOT WORK WITH Rustbelt Rising(RBR), Monarchs & Margritas(M&M), OR New England Rising(NER). A COMPATIBILITY WILL BE MADE IN THE FAR FUTURE.

"Only by using armor to break through a line can an enemy be encircled and crushed."

Old World Blues: Vehicles Rework

This mod overhauls the OWB Vehicles System by doing the following,

1. Making Motorized better at speed but less good at everything else
2. Making Mechanized a thing again and making em more expensive but great at combat at the cost of speed
3. Adding a tank designer which redoes the armored combat of OWB. Power Armor is still superior, but tanks have been made able to overpower power armor if you design em correctly.

Also of note, this mod is FULLY compatible for people without the No Step Back DLC so have fun!

Troubleshooting Issues

1. If you are crashing ON Load In to main menu, please check your playlist for conflicting mods and be sure to unsub and resub to the Rework Mods and their compatibilities. If unsubbing and resubbing does not work, verify files. If that does not work, you may need to do a clean reinstall.

2. If you are crashing ON Load In as a nation, please check your playlist for conflicting mods and be sure to unsub and resub to the Rework Mods and their compatibilities. If unsubbing and resubbing does not work, verify files. If that does not work, you may need to do a clean reinstall.

3. If you are crashing during a game. Verify the problem. If it is due to the tech tree or while in your in a designer, report your issue as a bug and I will try to recreate the problem. If you cannot and it is either late-game or a random date, it is either due to a map mod that you are using(Primarily Cuba due to Chictan Izla and the Cuban Military Government or its ECR due to The Breakers) or it is simply a HOI4 issue and nobody’s fault if you do not have the map mods on.
