Agreed tenfold. hopefully we will be seeing more units getting added over time, so many iconic ships and planes that i really miss :|

I dunno, I guess the actual stats of most of these would be virtually identical to already existing units, so where's the gain?
Maybe the Artistocrats should consider publishing unit packs like Paradox' sprite packs. So they could have an additional revenue stream and you purists would get your icons, but people more concerned with the gameplay could skip them and avoid the clutter.

Don't get me wrong, I love unit icon options, and I think one of OOBs biggest weaknesses is the lack of modability - otherwise modders could provide all these units, as they did for Panzer Corps.
But as it is, you can hear the crickets chirp in the modding subforum, and I have a hard time how this will ever change unless there's a herculean effort from the developers to make it happen.

I honestly would just be happy with some IJA tactical and strategic bombers. a Plane like the Ki-51 would be beastly at killing ground units.

Surely not!All suggested units have their individual stats and the latter are different of those units already available in the game. :)

The gain will be in creating more historical scenarios. :D :D :D

Do you want some examples? :wink:

Hi,

the Ki-27 seems to be in and can be easily added ; I did not try it in a combat yet, but I can purchase it, I can deploy it, I see the icon, I see the model on the map.

There is also the A5M.mat and A5M.tex together with the A5M2.tex icon, this one can be put in too, but the model does not show on the map when the unit is deployed... why is that ?

Immersion ? Historical accuracy ? :-)

Also, the devs have acknowledged that some unit specs need further refinement.
I wish they would provide any formulas used for transferring real world data to game data.
That would help modders create new units or help to fix the current ones.
