Designing Mot/Mech?

[CraniumMuppet]

Looking on the dev diary, Mot/Mech will be upgradable, but not fully designed. But what if they could be fully designed in the tank designer? Everything to make a vehicle is there.

It's not as simple as just lifting the code from the tank designer and bolt it onto a new system.

Tanks are more iconic and lifting the code from the ship designer and make it work for the tank designer isn't something you can do without modifications.

That's just the technical aspect but there's also the question of design, art, AI, testing and sound. It's just to much overhead, especially during covid.

The modifications we did will hopefully make mechanized a bit more feasible, especially if you can reduce the cost of production to something more manageable.

What are you supposed to design there?

Did you make them come earlier, and as fast as Motorized out from start, not at 1943 level?

No. You can make the 1940 version faster if you have the XP for it though
