USSR Hack by bouis.
"USSR-capital.txt" borrowed from "The Yogi"'s "New Order in the East" mod.
Intended for single player as Germany.
####
This is release 0.9. It's playtested to the point that I know it works, but I'm not sure how well balanced it is. Hopefully it will give you a little more fun on the Eastern Front than you're used to. Maybe even a challenge. Any feedback is appreciated.
####
Notes:
The USSR AI is wimpy. It's delightfully inept (like the real early-war Soviets), but unfortunately it can't replace its losses like they could. This mod gives the USSR a nice helping of units, spread out over 1941 - 1942. All of the events are random, but the odds are stacked to heavily favor the Soviets during the winter.
All in all, it should deploy around 200 extra divisions. This doesn't sound like much over two years, but it should prevent the collapse that usually happens on the Eastern Front in late 1941.
There's a fix included for the USSR capital bug.
This is all that's changed from regular HOI 1.03b.
Tips:
This doesn't do anything until you're at war with the USSR in 1941, so don't attack in 1939. Play on "very hard" difficulty, and don't get the Maus in time for Barbarossa just because you can. Invade in 1941. Build an airforce and don't skimp on fighters. Agree to the Mol-Rib pact and give E. Poland to the USSR.
Save your game often.
Installation:
This requires 1.03b of Hearts of Iron.
Copy the "USSR-hack.txt" and "USSR-capital.txt" files into your:
folder. Add:
To your:
file, or simply use the one that I've included in this zip. If you are using this in addition to some other mod, you may want to remove the "USSR-capital.txt" file. It is provided as a bugfix, because a 1.03b bug prevents the USSR from moving its capital properly. If you are using "New Order in the East" by "The Yogi," do not install the capital bugfix; you don't need it.
This mod uses event numbers in 5***, 60**, and 70** ranges. If you've already got one with those, find and replace works wonders.
Have fun.
