What is this mod?
This mod replaces the vanilla black & white model photos with coloured drawings.
It started as a simple port of the HoI2 mod DMP. The scope of the mod however raised soon when I started to change more and more things... taking new directions... I'm now using no more than a tyne fraction of original DMP resources, completely replacing the other 99.9%.
So it's not DMP anymore, it's my own mod... however a big thank you still goes to the DMP team for letting me use their resources as a base to start my work and for being of inspiration.
This mod is also aviable for HoI 3 and HoI2 Iron Cross/Arma/AoD (currently outdated)
Why drawings?
With quality drawings you can display a lot more details compared to historical photos, it's also easier to achive a consistent look and feel between the various models, and this adds a lot... at least for me.
It takes a lot of patience but the result is worth the effort in my opinion.
What's the goal of the mod and what about the current status?
I want to get a consistent feeling while playing the game with different countries, the final goal of the mod is to cover as many nations as possible, it already deals with 21 countries for more than 6000 models!
Countries covered so far:
Full 1914-1964 Coverage: USA, USSR, Germany, England, France, Italy, Japan.
1914 Scenario: Austria-Hungary.
1933/Later scenarios: Canada, Australia, China, Poland, Finland, Spain, Hungary, Romania, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, West Germany and East Germany.
The mod also replaces nuclear reactor, air base, naval base, AA, radar, rocket test facility, convoys, escorts and industrial capacity images with new ones, in line with the art style of the mod.
I'm open to questions and suggestions, so if you have them... just post.
