More Support Tanks

This mod allows you to put all the usual tank battalions as support companies in your divisions (+ some motorized and mechanized companies as a bonus). The major benefit being that support companies require less tanks, but they come at the cost of a penalty to most stats. Especially minor nations stand to benefit from the added flexibility.

The full-sized super heavy tank battalion (+td, arty and aa) has also been resurrected from the dead.

Updated For 1.15.*/Götterdämmerung/Kaiser
Not achievement compatible.
English only (mod remains fully functional in other languages but_there'll_be_underscores).
Adding to existing savegames should be fine but you do so at your own risk.
Works both with and without No Step Back.

- Does this mod work with X mod?
Answer: I don't know. Fire up a game and find out. Read the compatibility section below for more details.

- Some super heavy tank models may not appear (super heavy bob semple for example). Modded models probably also will not appear. I wish I new what's causing this but we'll have to live with it for now.

light tank
light anti air
light artillery
light tank destroyer

medium tank
medium anti air
medium artillery
medium tank destroyer

heavy tank
heavy anti air
heavy artillery
heavy tank destroyer

super heavy tank battalion (not support company)
super heavy anti-air battalion (not support company)
super heavy artillery battalion (not support company)
super heavy tank destroyer battalion (not support company)

modern tank
modern anti air
modern artillery
modern tank destroyer

amphibious tank (using chassis)
light amphibious (using amphibious drive, nsb only)
medium amphibious
heavy amphibious

mechanized
mechanized recon

amphibious mechanized/amtrack

armoured car

motorized rocket artillery

(modern and super heavy chassis cannot equip amphibious drive, hence no support company for them)

Since the mod does not modify any existing files compatibility with other mods is very high.
The only prerequisite you should consider is if you can actually produce the equipment the companies require (so no Millennium Dawn or TNO for example).
Does not support other types of chassis added by other mods.

Added amphibious light/medium/heavy tanks.
Fixed some bugs related to the amphibious chassis stats.

Based on received feedback I've reduced the amount on tanks that are needed to fill a support company.

The new numbers are:
20 for light and medium and modern tanks
16 for heavy and super heavy tanks
14 for anti-air companies

All down from 24 tanks.

The only exception is the light tank recon which remains on 24 tanks. Since editing that number would require changing existing files which i don't want to do to preserve compatibility.

- Added mechanized recon company.
- Added support amtrack.

- Added support light tank.
- Added support armoured car.

- Updated for 1.13
- Removed super heavy tank support companies as they are now in vanilla.
- Ressurected the super heavy tank batallion from the dead in all it's glory!

Let me know if you want the other super heavy batallions back (aa, arty, td). I can bring them back but it might be a bit awkward as the new support companies are effectively identical to the old batallions.

- Added non-recon support mechanized.
- Added support motorized rocket artillery.
- Took a critical look at the bonusses and debuffs the companies give and made them based upon the values the larger batallions have. (though the differences are small).

- added super heavy td, arty and aa full-sized battalions.

- Updated mod for 1.15/Göterdämmerung/Kaiser
- Included new categories on proper units.
- Tanks can no lunger paradrop. Since there is now a unit for that in-game.
- Support Amtracks are now marine spacial forces instead of normal units

- 1.8.1: fixed super heavy tank icons
