Hey Janne. I have a suggestion for the interface. The only problem I have with v2 over v1 is that the menus take up the whole screen pretty much when you are deep in a menu. Have you made any attempts to make the menu structure smaller? either making the text for each item shorter, or perhaps there is a way to have slightly overlapping menu branches if you left-justify the text?
An alternative solution would be an option to just change to colour coded menu items and when you are in one menu you can easily access the outer branch items by a colour-coded or icon-coded index? This all sounds very complicated, but just thought I'd suggest it anyway.

A question - Is there currently a feature for changing the owner for sectors? In the screenshot above I capped the sector with a squad, then clicked on the flag and set the owner to neutral. However as you can see the point itself is white, but the sector is still blue. Also if I enter the circle in this state with a squad, it will start the capture process.

A request for the menu order

under: selection->owner-> the current order is

abandoned
neutral
team1
team2

Is it possible to change the order? Abandoned is probably going to be the least used function (for me at least)
Maybe:

team1
team2
neutral
abandoned

Well spotted - I found this as well last night derping for achievements.

Edit: Must've lost the post from last night... Had a few observations:
- A Command Panzer IV/Panther's aura as Soviets does not have any effect on the ISU's.
>> Things that don't work cross-factions is out of my reach, it is the way the game is made
- B-2 Artillery have a cool-down for their main barrage ability even if cooldowns are disabled.
>> The weapon seems to reload for a moment but the ability cooldown is instant.
- A bulk selection for destroyed vehicles should be available - Like selecting more units normally (at least I think)
>> "Kill everything" is probably the best solution for this.

Edit 2:
REmemnerd a few more bugs:
OKW infrantry + tanks + Pak43, as spawend by a Soviet faction, only have 3 stars and not the usual OKW 5.
>> Each OKW unit has veterancy levels configured for other factions. Similar to the situation where you've managed to capture an OKW Pak 43 as soviets.

Edit 3:
We;p, looks like someone already beat me to the suggestions :\

Hello Janne252

First of all, great job for your mod !

Among the missing units from the v.04 version :

Ostheer:

- Sdkfz 250 alone (it's spwaning with Pzgrenadiers in it) - maybe it would be good to get this transport unit lonely
>> The Grens are hardcoded to the halftrack
- Luftwaffe officer (from the russian campaign)
>> Added
- Assault grenadier (from commander)
>> Added
Soviets:
- Fresh conscripts (from the campaign)
>> Added
- Zis-6 truck (from campaign)
>> Added
- sniper Ania (from campaign)
>> Added
- M4 lend-lease 76mm (don't remember the exact name - from lend-lease commander)
>> Added
- Irregulars (removed ability from a commander)
>> More info/exact squad blueprint name?
- Partisans (antitank, submachine gunners, rifle...)
>> Added (LMG, SMG, and Panzerschreck partisans)
US:

- Medics
>> Added
- WC51 truck (from commander)
>> Added
- WC51 truck "with hood" (from Ardennes Assault campaign)
>> Screenshot/more info please
- .50 M2HB machine gun (from US HQ)
>> Added
- Cavalry riflemen (from AA campaign)
>> AA units are in a separate attrib archive, most likely can't add unless they exist in standard AttribArchive
- Sherman calliope (from commander)
>> Added
- Crewmen
>> Added
OKW:

- Sdkfz 223 (from the AA campaign)
>> AA units are in a separate attrib archive, most likely can't add unless they exist in standard AttribArchive
- Puma (from HQ)
>> Already exists
- Sturmtiger (from commander)
>> Added
British:

- Medics (from commander with glider)
>> Added
- Forward observation officer (from alpha test)
>> Added
- Airlanding officer (from comander)
>> Added
- Mortar emplacement
>> Added
- Bofors emplacement
>> Added
- 17-pounder emplacement
>> Added
Also :

- If grenadiers are spawned with the mod, they can't use rifle grenade ability even if the phase 1 is enabled (neither if grenadiers are spwaned before or after the enabled phase 1). Also, the spawned grenadier don't take benefit of instant ability recharge.
These issues don't occurs with grenadiers build from the HQ, they can use rifle grenade and ability recharge instantly when its enabled.
>> Fixed, it was the _sp version of the grenadier squad instead of _mp

- Spawned US vehicles don't have crew and can't have the ability to decrew.
>> Probably only works if you play as USF
Some aesthetics issues :

- Visible vehicle crew for US and british vehicles are soviet (don't know for german vehicles)
>> Probably only works if you play as USF
- Spawned US Sherman 76mm has different camo from other US vehicles
>> M4A3 Sherman Medium tank is the one you are looking for
- US M2 60mm and M1 81mm mortar team don't have the good images in their description (i'm pretty sure that the US mortars have images from the AA campaign).
>> AA units are in a separate attrib archive, most likely can't add unless they exist in standard AttribArchive
As I'm not a modder, I don't know the time and the work it takes. So, consider my post only if you consider as relevant for you. Also, aesthetics issues are not the priority. It's just cosmetics

Congrats for all your awesome work !
