Panzer Corps 2 Balance Overhual

A mod aimed at overhauling the combat of Panzer Corps. Reworking hundreds of units and adding many more to encourage diverse army compositions. Practically every unit tab has undergone large scale changes to accomplish this. Changes are to extensive to list in their exact totals but the broad scale changes are:

Recon - Increased stats of many armored vehicles, added infantry recon units, added evasive to all recon units to increase survivability.

Infantry - Empowered various unit types to have more defined roles. As an example Heavy Infantry are significantly more power having the power to even somewhat hold their own against tanks in open terrain. Also added various infantry types like German Panzergrenadiers to each nation to increase variety.

Tanks - Massive balance passes making greater divides between tank types and roles. Light Tanks have been made cheaper in core slots as budget options, Medium Tanks have been kept as well balanced but also specailizing certain tasks, then finally Heavy Tanks have been made more expensive making them harder to use as a primary tank.

Anti Tank - AT has been changed to be more diverse in their options. Units range from cheap excellent AT options such as Marders to more well rounded generalist AT like Stugs who have better defenses and some soft attack. Different nations also more drastically stand out from one another in their options.

Artillery - Artillery has mostly seen changes to lower caliber artillery who have gotten cheaper in core slots and buffed in other ways. They now make for extremely cheap options at the cost of some power.

Anti Air - One of the most drastically overhauled tabs, the ground fire mode for countless AA pieces now are actually useful. Light Caliber guns at 20mm or less now support infantry and 40mm guns support both tanks and infantry. This helps make AA far more appealing even after the skies are clear.

Fighters - Lowered initative difference between generations of fighters. Later war fighters still win practically all engagements but early fighters are less likely to get one shot in a single attack. Also added or improved various heavy fighters who now excel at killing enemy bombers that are regular fighters will struggle against.

Tactical Bombers - Various fighter bombers now can swtich between a Fighter and Bomber mode. Bomber mode is their current version but the fighter trades their ground attack values for generally improved initative and much more air attack. Many act like heavy fighters sporting high air attack but low initative but in general the fighter mode is better at air combat.

Strategic Bombers - Increased survivablity making them harder to kill. Regular fighters can struggle to deal much damage and relies large numbers or heavier armed planes to bring them down reliably.

This mod generally makes the game more difficult as it raises the core slot cost of many of the best units and forces players to either deal with a small but elite force or use more regular equipment to have a larger army. Testing for balance was conducted on Generalissimus without any heroes and I was able to complete all Axis Operations through 1945. Any feedback is welcome and I hope you enjoy this mod!
