Arms Against Tyranny Tank Models And Their Application

[Cosmo4378]

Quick questions OS: Windows 10 HOI4 version: 1.14.7 Kaiserreich version: 1.1.3 List any other mods used: All official submods (except the TOA models pack), Modifier Icons, Kaiserreich Submod - Revised National Focus Times Were you using Steam?: Yes Were you in multiplayer?: No Which expansions do you NOT have?: Trial Of Allegiance (for modelling errors) Have you installed and enabled the official modelling submods?: Yes, all except TOA

Explanation of the suggestion:

Arms Against Tyranny introduced multiple new tank models to Hoi4. I started writing this specifically for the Soviet T28, however after perusing the options I believe a select group could be repurposed to suit the world of Kaiserreich in different ways.

The T28 model(s) makes the most sense, as the tank exists in the mod already, but noticeably lacks a model. This is a safe inclusion and hopefully an easy one to make (I haven't a clue about modding so correct me below)

As for how the others can be repurposed, some could be used as "veteran" variants for tanks we already have, not unlike the material-swapped reskins that exist in the mod today (the Stuart for USA, Pz4 for GER, KV1 for RUS). On the other hand, a few work surprisingly well as generic tank models for nations lacking their own designs. I have categorized them into groups below based on which role they should play

Thank you for the suggestion. These models are already used by FIN/SWE, but yeah, we can expand their usage. T-28 suggestion is neat, don't know how I missed that when adding those models initially I'll leave another message once the work is completed

I distributed free FIN models where it more-less makes sense. SWE models will have to wait Thanks for the report!
