Tiny Surface Combatants
TSC is a mod that primarily updates the base game ground vehicles, adds new ground vehicles, and adds new functionality for surface vehicles, rebalances their stats to be in-line with real performance, adds SAM and AA systems with realistic performance, and includes a couple missions for testing purposes, all with Vanilla+ style.
TSC has a growing repository of ground units, including:
- M60 variants, every significant US M1 Abrams variant up to the early 90’s
- T-64, T-72, T-80 variants all the way up to the early 90’s
- SA-2, SA-3, SA-5, SA-6, SA-7, SA-8, SA-9, SA-10, SA-11, SA-22 surface to air missile systems, some with nuclear-tipped variants
- BMP-1, BMP-1P, BMP-2, BMD-3, M2 Bradley IFV systems with functioning missile launchers
- BRDM variants, with KPVT, SA-9 (with unfurl animation), and 9P122 ATGM carrier (with launch animation)
- Hercules, HAWK, PATRIOT, ADATS, Chaparral, Mauler and Sgt York air defense systems
- T-72M, T-72M1 GDR variants
- Type 90 MBT (with Type 89 IFV in the works)
plus some unique features not found in the base game:
- comprehensive damage/armor system that includes every weapon type found ingame
- SAM systems with realistic limitations (and gamified reloads for gameplay’s sake)
- animated radars and weapon deployments for many units
- multiple test missions including a high-intensity ‘SAM Alley’ mission with lots of units
- new factions replacing the base game ones, for quick strike missions
- integration with TWS on damage, and ARM functionality
TSC is an ongoing project, and much is planned for the future, including but not limited to:
- Ships (whenever official support is added ingame)
- Radar systems to go with the SAM systems (whenever this functionality is added ingame)
- Helicopters (whenever official support is added ingame)
- Artillery of all types (whenever official support is added ingame)
- More US/USSR units, such as marine vehicles like AAPV or LAV, T-55 variants and BMD series
- MTLB series with ATGM and SAM variants
- More nations in the future, from European and Asian armies
- More SAM systems, like SA-15 Tor and SA-4 Krug
Q: How do i use this mod?
A: It’s a vehicle pack, and although it includes new factions that replace the default one for strike missions, the average player wont see any change other than prettier ground vehicles. This mod is primarily geared towards mission makers to have a more diverse set of units to make missions more interesting.
Q: Another mod says this mod is a dependency, what do i do?
A: Simply subscribe to this mod, and enable it in the mod menu ingame.
Q: Will this mod ever add anything that isnt a vehicle or surface weapon system, like aircraft ordnance or aircraft?
A: No, other mods (like my own) will fill that role, TSC is just here to provide a high quality repository of surface units.
