Cold War 2020 Mod R.C.0.6 is out!

[Warhero]

You are in right Plasma... I didn't noticed that I forgot to install 4.0 patch from some reason. It's ok now.

Thanks for all your work here. I have never downloaded your Cold War Mods so I have a question. I was looking at the E German (Ukraine) OOB and it looks like it is the same as the Official Ukranian OOB with a different flag. Has there been work on the OOB or did I screw something up? I have a separate install for your mod.

Ok as I suspected I loaded things up wrong I forgot to copy your OOB's into the OOB file. {cbreedon this may be your problem the CW OOB file is a separate folder placed into the OOB folder. This must be done by the user. As well the DDR OOB is in the Ukrainian slot the name change required to an exe change not possible.)

Anyway now everything is right in the future universe, I'm impressed with the work done here. BTW no problem again with my Canada OOB. If you’d like I’ll line it up with your AH vision and send you a copy.

FYI I've found a couple small errors thus far:

#1- US OOB one of the FB-22 Raptors has in it's #1 wpns slot a cannon listed as a GBU-35 JDAM. I beleive you meant for a cannon to be there.

#2- POLAND OOB the Hibernyt SPAA looks to be meant to be Truck/AAA unit, however the icon is a Lt Tank.

If I find anything else I'll let you know.

Bravo Zulu on a job well done.

As explained by PanzerBob (and in the readme and the install notes, incidentally), the modded OOBs are installed into a dedicated "Custom OOBs" folder called "ColdWar2020_v0.6". Once the mod is installed, you still have to use the "Custom OOB Sets Manager" to load the OOBs.
This is meant to prevent overwriting other preexistent custom OOBs that may be in the default OOB folder.

I hope this helps and that you enjoy the content! (and the differences with the regular Ukraine OOB, of course)

That would be nice, I try to cross-check with country-specific mods whenever available, otherwise I'm left alone with my imagination and the results are probably dreadful to a knowing local .

#1- US OOB one of the FB-22 Raptors has in it's #1 wpns slot a cannon listed as a GBU-35 JDAM. I beleive you meant for a cannon to be there.

Nope, the FB-22 doesn't carry a cannon, not anymore than e.g. the F-111 did. Long-range strike and high-altitude bombings are of the essence here, not strafing or air combat.
Looks like I left over the AP ammo=1 for the gun tube though, but that's just an omission that has no incidence on gameplay.

#2- POLAND OOB the Hibernyt SPAA looks to be meant to be Truck/AAA unit, however the icon is a Lt Tank.

Well, I had not spotted this one before release, due to my bad habit of searching units by name. Turns out a plain old AA truck gets a 2S31 paint job...

***OFFICIAL CORRECTIVE***
OOB 0bat002 Poland, unit #200 "Hibernyt SPAA" should get icon #4128 instead of current #3843.

I've realigned my Canada OOB to refelect what could have happened if the government hadn't hung us out to dry in the later part of the 20th Century and had the Cold War digressed into setting Europe alight. I want to play test it first for a few turns before I send out.

I real like the idea of the 90mm Gun you have on the Lowe. Hope it functions well in combat.

thanks

I guess I should have read the entire readme... I have a separate install for this so I don't need to use the custom OOB function. I have a quick question. Is the ASG99 based off a real gun or just assumptions? Just curious and it looks cool :-)

Can't wait to see this! I have some quite clear ideas for the Canadian OOB, let's see what you come up with.
My original idea for the mod didn't include Europe 'alight' in a major fashion as part of the timeline (it's called Cold War after all), but I have several scenarios for several non-canon flashpoints at different places.

Heh, that's top-notch technology if ever there was (would be?). In SP these low-caliber high-velocity guns (see also Soviet T-12 and Japanese Type-2013) penetrate pretty much anything but sometimes lack the warhead size to deal significant after-armor damage on modern opponents.

Open the Austrian OOB
The ASG-99 (and family) is a license-produced 5.45mm conversion of the Steyr AUG-A3, as the pics show. Obviously not with the Picatinny rails, maybe a local equivalent.
No real-life basis for this one, I just liked the idea. If you look into the other OOBs, you will see some more cross-breeding between the former Warsaw Pact countries and the less-aligned neighbors.

Well I have v.4.0 and CW 0.6 installed but still one bug:SPW-360 icon in DDR(Ukraine) OOB doesn't show in game (West Germany vs. East Germany 2020, meeting engagement).
