Advanced and Overpowered Designers

Description
Advanced and overpowered equipment designers for tanks, planes, and ships!

I like to cheat and mess around in the game a lot, and I wanted to make a simple mod to help me do that, and here I am sharing it with y'all as well, just in case any of y'all are interested.

I figured out how to make this mod by looking at the mod files of this mod:

https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1611159469

so go check out that mod too cause it's pretty good, and still works fine with the update.

Heya! I feel ya lol, I am a very inexperienced modder but I am working on an updated version of the mod. I'm doing my best to work out how the new system works, but I'm not the brightest cookie in the box, so I what would take anyone else prob a day to do at most I may need a minute to work out. If anyone wants to make their own updated version, please link it because you might end up being quicker/better than me! :3

With the new Arms Against Tyranny DLC this mod is now defunct. Which is a terrible shame because I loved my massively over powered Tanks, Ships and Planes.

for some reasons maxed out super battleship is faster than a lightly armed heavy cruiser

It was not working before, but it is now. Steam showed a download to the game so it must have re-downloaded. Thank you for all your work, and GAME ON.

Hmm, I tested on my end, and was able to get the bonuses to work on Naval, CAS, Heavy Fighters, and Carrier CAS. Try resubbing to the mod? Also try looking in the workshop folder, find the mod, common>country leader>optraits.txt, and make sure it has 220 lines in the file. If it does, then it is the right version. But def try resubscribing first, the funky stuff on my end might have caused problems for auto update.

Sorry, me again. The following planes are not receiving bonuses. Naval (NAV), Close air support (CAS), and Heavy fighter (H-FTR) (probably carrier CAS as well, forgot to test that). Since NAV and carrier NAV did not get bonuses, it stands to reason that CAS and Carrier CAS won't get them either. Recon works, because the recon module is a secondary module and does not go in the primary weapon slot.

Transports did get bonuses, however in order to get the bonuses, it requires a another mod which allows creating aircraft variants as vanilla HoI does not allow you to change anything on transports except to rename them. Which I do not think applies the bonuses.

BTW, don't you just love DLC updates? Most of my favorite mods broke.

Love the mod, and your fast response to update it. Good Work!

Updated again, pretty sure I now have all airframe types included. I had it fixed an hour ago but then I ended up doing something stupid and had to fix it, but it should be all good now!

When I created a carrier Naval attack plane it received no bonuses, but the carrier Fighter I created did get bonuses.

Hey, it's me again. Just wanted to let you know that your quick response to updating this mod is very much appreciated. That said, just tested it and you might want to include the Carrier Naval Bomber airframe too. In my post below, I had completely overlooked the carrier variants, Good catch.
