Main focus of the mod is to improve and deepen game mechanics, while remaining compatible and available for paradox AI.

• Mechanised and armored cars designer
  
• Tank gun upgrade system
  
• Expansions for all vanilla designers and equipment upgrades
  
• New plane roles
  
• AI improvements and tweaks
  
• Rebalancing of supply system
  
• Battalion and terrain rebalance
  
• Additional research slot options

Main Changes:
* Rebalance in ground warfare was directed to remove the ahistorical and illogical meta and allow wide variety of WW2 era designs to be effective. Mechanised and armored car designers add flavor and additional ways of waging war, while rebalancing of battalions and terrain modifiers adds logic and united structure to the game.
* Fleet rebalance focuses around bringing all ships to glory with reducing IC costs and allowing wide variety of designs to be used. Not much of new modules were added, but overall balance was changed drastically. All hail Megatron battleships!
* Air rebalance adds huge amount of new modules, balance tweaks and ability for planes to do practically all missions. The last option allows planes with different modules but the same types to be stacked, fixing core vanilla game problem, but causing minor troubles with AI behavior. No flying tank meta allowed.

Additional Changes:
* AI has been changed to be more challenging and effective. While using mostly historical designs, it will field better divisions and have better priorities in production. Good luck winning air war against the Great Britain in 1943.
* Supply system was reworked to be less punishing and limiting, while still being operational. Now you gain more supply and spend less of it, causing AI to stop dying on the far corners of its country (yeah, vanilla Soviet Union). Yet it is still an important factor and fast attack on supply hub can disrupt enemy's plans and cause a massive encirclement.
* Also during the creation of the mod huge amount of other`s works were used, like there are hell lot of tank icons, commercial and national (SOV, JАР, USA). Creators are mentioned in special category.
* And technologies of all categories are changed a bit, be aware.

Look through the list of disscusions, there are several useful categories.
Also I would like to host some multiplayer games or find some help on the mod improving.
