Do you have plan for similar mod covering the other factions ?

Yes, i plan to make desant-able tanks for the Germans and the USA in the future. However, it won’t be soon as this mod is still in active developpement. I also have a different vision for the desants in german and us service, and for that, i will need to commission custom made animations for them.

Is it compatible with other overhauls such as CE ?

No. But I got the authorization to make a patch for it. It is at the bottom of my to-do list however.
