I'm not talking about SPGs and Tank destroyers. I'm talking about upgrades of the basic model. For example M3 Stuart => M5 Stuart.
Experience based modifications? We never had those? Do you mean research?
Are you talking about models?
Anyway, while I certainly appreciate the work modders put into their works, I would give you the advice to not work on your mod untill HOI4 is released.
If the devs change the file structure, the image format or something else you can either rework every single thing you have already done or throw it into the bin.

I thought I read somewhere that modders could add more.
Are there already mod teams forming for / working on HoI4?
A bit of a tough one to answer definitely but...
I strongly suspect that the big/popular modding teams (Black Ice & TRP being just the populaar ones I know of) are just waiting in the wings for the game to be released.
He's talking about modifications that you unlock as you gain experience using the weapons. It's mentioned in the 2nd DevDiary.
He asked similar questions before (size of images, events, etc) so if you throw everything together I would say he is working on a mod.
Ah yeah, just read it, easy to overlook though.
Probably something along the line of field modified gear (armor plates, reinforced helmets, etc).
12 components are experience based. I have it on good authority that the list is as follows.
1) Tank gun
2) Rainbows
3) Tank armor
4) Treads
5) Pony glitter
6) Exhaust systems
7) Flatulence Expectorants
8) Tank engine
9) Forcefields
10) Turbo chargers
11) Cavalry Sabres
12) Ammunition
It's a good list, isn't it?

Wait a sec, I have it on good authority that there will be horse armor!12 components are experience based. I have it on good authority that the list is as follows.

Only with the DLC; Secret Master is obviously listing the base components.
Like that, yes, but not that specific example. We have the PzIV appear in '41 with the long 75 by default.
Actually, historically Pony glitter was almost exactly the same as normal glitter, and had the same performance in combat (very poor).
Therefore, I disagree with your decision to include it as an upgrade. And before anyone says "flavour", let me remind you all that the devs have gone on record and said that they are trying to reduce unnecessary micromanagement that does not add to the depth of the game.
I think a one track research path that ultimately achieves nothing fits that definition rather well.
