New Cold War 2020 mod release! (RC 0.4)

[PlasmaKrab]

You might want to replace the "50mm M411" in future releases with the: 45mm ARES XM295

Mark, what about the quick-swap 35/50mm autocannon as NATO standard? I have read about integration tests on Bradleys already more than ten years ago, and many real-life IFVs should be able to take it.
OTOH both calibers (and probably a 45mm ARES) aren't capable of much against armored vehicles, which is why I have added a version of the Mech Scout vehicle armed with the 75mm ARES. Do you have anything similar with better penetration results I could use on AFVs?

Any campaigns planned with this OOB? I'd like to try one as the US.

You bet!
Of course I want to include scenarios and campaigns in the mod! I'll just wait for the OOBs to be in a final enough form so I don't have to update every scenario for every new release. As I said above, I want to overhaul my US OOB for the next release, and include a first version of the USMC.
First on line now is some overseas campaign, probably featuring French expeditionary forces against Libya (that's what they are here for in the first place), USMC or Rangers are close seconds. Some other peripheral-conflict campaign using light US forces would be nice, possibly in the Baltic area. I think I can get some modders to give a hand on the French campaign (and probably one about Hungary vs USSR or something), so feel free to PM me for more details if you want to contribute a US-based campaign.

Did some number punching..
