I will first say that I love the darkest hour. I prefer it to HoI 3 in most aspects, however I have some suggestions to make it even better.
First, would be some new units. For instance, instead of helicopters being a 1960s science, why not have a few utility helicopters available for research and productionin the 1940s? The Germans had the Fa-223 helicopter in service in the mountain divisions by 1941, the US had the Sikorsky R-4 in 1942.Then you can research tech to make the the new Calvary (air-cavalry) as well as medic-vac and supplies. But until the 1960s, helicopters remain a brigade attachment, as they weren't invested in until later.
Second, a scenario that goes from 1914 to 1963? (is 1963 the end date?). I know some mods can modify this, but I can't install the mods because I really don't know how to edit the files, and so instead of risking being unable to play, i don't use them. Also, as I have read, winning as Germany leads to less decisions, maybe some decisions can be made if you were to win WW1 or WW2.
Finally, my final suggestion is renaming some of the tech units. I know this seems tedious, but it seems wrong for the Soviets to get their 1962 MBT to be a T-55 when it could be the T-62! Or the Germans instead of getting the E-90 get the Leopard 1 tank. Just some name changes, nothing to evil.
Anyway, this is my suggestion, feel free to comment and flame.
