Features

New NATO Faction: Introducing USA, France, and West Germany.

French Army Implementation (into the NATO faction):

Soldier Breeds: More than 270 new soldier breeds.
Weapons and Ammo: Specific French weapons, guns, and ammo such as the MAS49, Famas, MGs, rifle grenades, AT weapons.
Insignias: Custom made unit insignias.
Specialties: New soldiers’ specialties to model the French army units and traditions.
Historical Accuracy: As close to history as possible.

Soviet Faction Rework: Includes new units like IS3 / IS4 and many late WW2 vehicles. Huge thanks to the MACE Team for their greenlight!

Soviet Enemy Rework in Conquest: Set for 45 turns, from 1945 to 1990, with realistic service entry and withdrawal dates for vehicles. Infantry also reworked to appear in the right period.

New homemade Bot wave system in conquest: Rework conquest Bot script to allow for two gameplay enhancements :
– Randomized delay (Min, Max thresholds) between bot waves in defense and attack battles. While attacking, the bot will have more and denser attack waves to challenge the player. While defending, the Bot will have more delay between its reinforcement waves to limit spam.
– Randomized units number per wave (Min, Max thresholds) in defense and attack battles. While attacking the bot will have more units per wave. While defending, the Bot will have less units per reinforcement wave to limit spam.

New homemade Divisions system for Bot opponent in Conquest: The USSR/Soviet faction has Mechanized infantry and tank division. The tank division is fearsome, so plan your units accordingly. Want to play Kursk-like tank battles? Give this a try!
The division system will be adapted to USA/NATO factions in the near future.

Hardcore and Long Range Gameplay: This feature reflects the reality of Cold War technological advancements and modern combat. Expect deadly bullets and artillery, improved mortar range, and tank-to-tank combat moved to around 300 meters.
