Unit Expansion: Aircraft (Project 6T)

Adds 2 new air units to the Fighter and Bomber promotion classes, giving each class an additional stealth aircraft upgrade close to the Future era.

The main purpose of the Unit Expansion series is to act as sort of a light version of Warfare Expanded for Project 6T, with a much lower asset count for anyone having trouble to add WE to their setup without getting crashes. Fewer units are added and they do not come with cultural diversity beyond what’s found in the vanilla units. If you do not play with any other asset-heavy mods, I strongly recommend using Warfare Expanded instead and enjoy its wonderful units full of historic details with all sorts of cultural variations!

This mod is part of Project 6T and requires "Grand Eras".

Big thanks to Deliverator (author of Steel & Thunder), KrumStrashni (author of Warfare Expanded), and Wolfdog (made lots of assets for both) for making their assets available. They were a great inspiration and without new models such as the Gatling Gun or Mortar, this mod series would not have been possible.

For donations – since this mod includes a lot of work done by other people, I am not adding my PayPal link here. If you want to show your gratitude with a little gift, consider donating to a charitable cause instead.

• Cost, maintenance, and strength of existing units tweaked slightly in some cases for smoother progression, but overall as little changes as possible were made.
• Jet aircraft now come at Guidance Systems, meaning that there will be a new tier of aircraft every other column in the technology tree, making aircraft a highly competitive arms race for late-game technological superiority in combat.

Requires Gathering Storm and Project 6T’s "Grand Eras". Using all Unit Expansion mods together is recommended but not required.

Not compatible with Warfare Expanded, but as mentioned above, I highly recommend just using that instead if your setup allows for that.

Steel & Thunder Unique Units is fully supported, however.
Unique units from modded civs will receive some default adjustments to fit in, but I can’t guarantee that this is enough. Some might need further changes to be integrated properly, let me know in case you encounter them.
