why the game developers have abandoned the game flavor packs

[kimidf]

I think the game developers should bring back the small flavor packs that were released for the game's anniversary, since these packs greatly improved the immersion and flavor of the game. And there are still many elements that could be added to these packages, more things for the countries, such as more commanders or advisors, both historical and generic.

I like your idea and i have wait for it this year. For Spys i have found my own "privat" way. But this are images of pinterest and "reichsbuster" the game. Sorry I don't like the generic spys. The other are ok. Comanders are complicatet. My mod to change images of comander or bring more comander work not realy. At the end i have replace complete manchukuo comander with japan comanders. And i like it realy.

Because mods have mostly replaced what the flavour packs did.

It seems to me that this type of thing is a bad idea if you have to activate a mod. since you have to depend on it being updated up to date.

Cosmetic mods don't require updating. The launcher flags mods not based on whether they are actually up to date or not, but rather based on what version a line in the .mod file says the mod is up to date on. This line has no actual effect and you can set it to whatever you want, which is why mods flagged as out of date often work anyway.

Would be great to integrate the best (cosmetic) mods into the main game. I remember the answer from a dev in a recent DD mentioning that they're indeed working with the modders community.
I'm a die-hard vanilla Ironman player, but if the PDX team validates a mod as as-good-as-they-can-do (= balanced and useful) I'd love to have that.

I have seen in a other thread that one tell there are new airplane images in some folder and ask which type is it and some from the staff answer him that they are from him. I mean i have never see it in the game but i like the idea. Have last time seen trailer from WT with a Heinkel He 115 C1. Or a history vidio of B&V 155. That make me hungry of some new stuff. Nothing again Arado (in the game). They was based in my hoemtown. But Heinkel too. And B&V has the Bismark and some cool airplanes. But it's Hamburg.

I think as you say they should take advantange of that feedback that developers have with some mooders , to take advantange of some of the creations add them to the Vainilla game in some way especially in that aspect more cosmetic or flavor for the game . Which is an aspect thar has always been much more neglected by developers .

Yes, and I'm sure modders would be glad of the homage...
