...But there's already motorized artillery in vanilla hoi4?

can u pls update the mod?

@KyeongJu-Kim I probably could, but I think I'll wait until the upcoming DLC is released. Otherwise I'd have to do it again afterwards.

Can you Update this mod?

@XX MaRCo cF You are welcome.

this mod enhanced my gameplay for many years with that support artillery company lol thanks bro

@KrazyGoose I don't know, but probably not really, no. You could always just pull my mod apart and fuse them together yourself. Like some kind of Frankenstein-mod.

so in short, no rt56 compat?

@Field Marshal Paul Von Lettow | I wouldn't really advice using this mod anymore, since it doesn't actually add much to the game since Paradox added their own motorized support brigades, except for perhaps the extra support companies I added. But I updated it (it still worked perfectly fine though).

Update this please to the newest patch. I will be glad to then try, rate & review this mod. Thank you if you do take the time to update this. I will check back.

@you39.kikmin I don't really see the point, but I'll see what I can do. Might have to wait for the weekend though.

ver 1.9 up?

@cattwood69 What? There is no such thing.

Thank you for your honorable service, although you may not have a PFP or a glorious name you, John the Gamer, are a True Gamer!

Pressing the unsubscribe button, I hereby thank you for making this amazing mod that enhanced my gameplay for years. Yet this mod is now not needed anymore, still it will remind me of active mod community that this game fortunately have. I don't think you are outdated though. I think paradox was careless to not include this in first place and just "nicked" your idea afterwards. Noticed by devs? maybe. So long and thanks for all the motorized fishes

@mimela98 its now in the game, no need for it now. but it was still a good mod.

this mod work in 1.7?

@DahiriVaart Thanks.

Good Job to you the maker of this mod, Boooo to paradox

congratulations

you know this mod is good when the game developers added it to the base game

@Commandozak You're most welcome.

Thank you for doing this mod so long, it was an essential as far as i'm concerned before man the guns :)

I'll keep using it for the support artillery company.

Thanks for supporting this for so long, Really glad to see this included into vanilla, this mod was really useful to me so far and I'm glad to see these features officially supported, it will make everything easier.

@Steevodeevo Yes, motorized artillery is now (since Man the Guns) included in the base game.

John, have they now included motorised towing vehicles in the base game?

@john the Gamer you are right sorry

Well, caveat is from what I noticed is there is no towed AA units. You can still fix that!

@ilcherubba You are aware that "please" is a word that exists right?

upgrade the mod

They sure did, those thieving bastards. :)

I don't think this mod needs to be updated anymore, but I might make it MTG compatible if there is enough demand (and if I can find the time).

Done

@General MacNut I appologise then, I never read the desc. send me a link to it, i'm always up for good mods.

Thank you, though the reason i have to upload because my friend can't use it conventional way for some reason.

It's fine. As I stated in the discription; "Feel free to use this for your own mod(s)."

This mod took almost no work at all, so as long as you put me in the credits or something it's fine.

@Arcquasi Technically it doesnt matter what he combines for his personal use, he only requires permission if he wishes to upload/share it.

Lol, “oh sure, I’ll just combine this one with another THEN ask for perm” lol. Seriously, good luck tho. I hope the mod is great but maybe ask first tho just for future reference.

Hi, i have merge this mod with 'Real Combat Width' mod, can i obtain a permission to upload it to workshop, please?

Does the AI also use these brigades?

@Riekopo

"Truck" on this photo is actually a artillery tractor, according to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artillery_tractor#/media/File:8inchHowitzerTowedByScammellPioneer12Jan1940.jpg

@Lord_Irontower I think so, but any mod that makes changes to the artillery tech tree will make the motorized artillery weaker than standard artillery. Since they won't receive any of the damage increases you get from the artillery techs.

Does this work with RT56? PLEASE tell me it does??? lol but seriously.

You say it's not realistic yet there are historical photos on the mod page showing artillery being pulled by trucks. So what exactly are you talking about david?

@Davidtovarys I know. There are mods that add artillery tractors to the game as buildable equipment. I don't like them. It makes the game too complicated for the AI. At the moment, the chances of the AI building good, well supplied divisions (and keeping manpower in reserve) are already rather slim. Adding in a whole bunch of new stuff to build will just end in a massive mess.

@tads94 That's why I modded my game to give me 10 support slots per division. Plenty of space.

X:\XXX\Steam\steamapps\Hearts of Iron IV/common/defines/00_defines.lua/

MAX_DIVISION_SUPPORT_WIDTH = 2 (instead of 1)

@John the Gamer. I thought about support companies representimng this, except by doing that it takes up precious support company slots. Horse artillery (not the plodding horsedrawn artillery) was used by Polish cavalry units early in the war; Hungary, Romania fielded cavalry divisions later
in the war with horse artillery regiments. Even Italy fielded cavalry divisions in Greece and USSR, though I don't know if their artillery units were motorized or not.

@tads94 I feel like that's what support companies are for. Minors don't really have the industrial capacity to field hundreds of cannons anyway.

Would be nice if you could add horse artillery (and anti-tank and anti air) to this mod. Many minors used light, quick horsedrawn artillery on the Eastern front that could keep up with the cavalry units. This was possible by reducing the size and ratio of pieces to horses. These horse artillery batallions would require half the amount of artillery pieces, ie Horse artillery batallion requires 18 vs 36 artillery pieces needed for the regular artillery unit, with a reduction of the combat stats by half.

Paradox should really add Motorized Artillery to the base game. Without this mod, its annoying how you can't add additional firepower to Motorized and Armored Divisions without needlessly slowing them down.

Self-propelled artillery isn't available for everyone and it requires research and additional production capabilities to make. All Motorized Artillery requires is Trucks and Guns, whereas SP Artillery requires tanks which are much more expensive.

It would also make it so that we wouldn't have to worry about compatability issues with mods.

@John the Gamer Yeah, You' re right. Thanks for your extensive reply.
