WIF2 German Elite Division Mod

[unmerged(128102)]

Were you thinking of adding units for the Italian frogmen? I know they weren't nothing like division size but "Elite Italian Marines" of sorts would be pretty neat for a mod! I also like the idea of German heavy tank battalions, small in strength but with far above average heavy attack values

Hey,

In this mod the Jager techteam is not available for Germany. I played it once(curently in 1940 but no techteam) and i can't quite remember if this event:
#1000033 Reichsjäger
is related to the creation of the tech team.

In the WIF2 the techteam is present from the begining of the campaign.

later edit: in the tech team excel there is a the team from 1900 to 1970, but it's not apearing

Ah okay Well Reichsjagernotprogramm will give you some new interceptors... If I'm right you cant choose the Jäger because of a small bug of WIF!
If you want them back: Copy the text Team file of the current wif version over this mod or you could also change the german tech-Team file. Just open it look for the Jäger Team and change the id to something else. It should work then!

 

[Fernando Torres]

Yep there was a small problem I fixed some versions ago

 

[Dimebag]

Ok. it worked, but after doing this and playing a while, after save game, at a later load. It crashes!!!

 

[Hirz]

What exactly did you do? Do you get any error messages in the savedebug

Yeah I can do this, but it's maybe something which is too much micromanagment for a game like dh (it would be better to have something for hoi3)
What does the community think of it!?
About the heavy tank battalions I totally agree. Something which should only have Germany and the UdSSR and which can be attached to armored divisions!

 

[Fernando Torres]

I'd say add them. If the players don't want to micromanage, he can choose not to build them.

 

[Hirz]

Okay that´s a good point! Should I allow building this units also for: GER, FRA, ENG and USA?

 

[Epaminondas]

As far as I know GER didn't have any frogmen as such but they spent a lot of effort developing a range of one and two man subs and these saw action late in the war. ENG had the Special Boat Service and the X Craft of Tirpitz fame, and the USA had underwater demolition units but I'm not sure if it had any group that quite parallelled the offensive operations of the Italians, Germans, and Brits. To my knowledge FRA never really had the chance to develop anything in this area.

As far as heavy tank battalions go you'd first have to have heavy tanks. Russia had the KVs from 1941 and Germany the Tiger from 1942, but Britain and the US lagged in this area. The Brits had the TOG which was trialed in various forms through to 1943 but never went into production while the Americans trialed a series of developments of the M26 Pershing that they first termed 'heavy' tanks but which were later re-classified as 'mediums'. The first genuine US heavy tank seems to have been the T29 but only a dozen of these had been produced - as pilot models - by the end of 1947. Again, France didn't have a chance to get into the act until the war was well over, but the Char B series were thought of as heavy tanks when first produced in 1935.

I've downloaded your mod and I'll see if I can sort out the counters for you. But I may have to use DH counters as the WIF counter strip is a one-off. I mean it is RGB and not Indexed as normal.

Hey Hirz, I sent you an important email.

Hey Hirz, I sent you an important email.

Thank you a lot Nova - this will mean that a new version will be update very soon!

 

[novapaddy]

Thank you a lot Nova - this will mean that a new version will be update very soon!

I forgot to mention: When you update the counter strip, make sure you go Image > Flatten.. to get rid of any layers you may have added to the image. Then Save.

[Fernando Torres]

Wow first, watch your language.
Second, this is a known issue and if you cared to read this thread, you would have noticed that Hirz is looking for a fix with novapaddy.

Sorry but come on if its broken they why bother putting it up in the first place :/

Just that i wasted 4 hours trying to get this to work :L

From what I gather from previous posts, Gold, it plays fine with sprites. You could always use them until the counter bug is fixed.

Yeah but i really dont feel comfortable using sprites, it just aint historically accurate and the sprites are pretty bad (NO OFFENSE)
