Pact Enhanced LethaliTy

Description
IMPORTANT: LOAD PELT AT THE TOP OF YOUR MOD LIST!
(unless you intend to over-write PELT's extensive changes to base-game systems and units, which then load it near the top)
[you can load this before or after NTU, it doesnt really matter]


Pact Enhanced LethaliTy
PELT is an enhancement and expansion mod for of all of the eastern 'red side' nations equipment ingame. Ships, aircraft, and mostly weapons, are all touched and upgraded to a higher standard, and given the love they deserve.

If you want a later timeframe, with later ships, with later systems, PELT adds all sorts of mid-late 80's equipment that actually existed at the time, and some more hypothetical odds and ends that would have/may have entered service had the USSR not collapsed. PELT also performs an extremely comprehensive rework of all of the missiles, many torpedoes and other weapons, and many sensors, to a coherent standard similar to NTU's reworks. PELT also has this same standard applied to all of the earlier systems, although there are currently less ship loadouts from the 60's than there are from the 80's and 90's.


Compatibility with other mods:
This mod has an optional addon to re-add the NATO reporting names for all equipment, located right here!
This mod is recommended to be played with the NATO side rework mod NTU, located right here!
both mods are balanced against each other and should result a somewhat accurately expected result, from historical reports and contemporary simulators.

I will not maintain active compatibility for other mods, given that I would need to cater to dozens or hundreds of mods and their authors at all times, so PELT either will or will not be compatible with certain mods and I won't take exhaustive measures to rectify compatibility outside extreme circumstances.

Content List:
PELT modifies a huge number of systems and files for the Pact nations, so not every change or addition can be listed here. That being said, here are some of the highlights:
  • domestic accurate designations for all equipment (other than ships, given Pr numbers are less catchy than NATO names)
  • extended time period versions of many ships, that got better equipment near the end of the cold war
  • kirov sub-variant specialization with historical loadouts + additional 'ideal' variants representing the whole class
  • new balancing for all SAMs and ASMs and guns and radars, generally improving performance while also addressing the limitations of each system
  • AAMs reworked completely with pseudo-realistic kinematics
  • new weapons across the board, many not currently used but to serve as a repository for other mods
  • expanded capabilities for certain weapons, such as offensive jamming for Granit and Bazalt
  • enhanced submarine armaments with RPK-7 Veter and improved 65-76
  • lower radar minimum floors for most radars, to be more accurate to their actual performance
  • new aircraft deployed weapons such as Kh-35 and Kh-59M and Kh-15S
  • new variants of many missiles, including but not limited to Volna, Shtorm, Fort, and Uragan systems




    Q&A (and known problems)
    Q: How do i use this mod?
    A: It's a rebalance of existing systems, so those changes will be present in all existing missions, but also adds new units. New units have to be added to missions either by opening/creating them in the mission editor and replacing/adding the units, or by opening the mission files themselves in a text editor and replacing vessel names with the ship of your choice.
    Q: Another mod says this mod is a dependency, what do i do?
    A: Simply subscribe to this mod, and enable it in the mod menu ingame.


    Q: This mod is OP! How will NATO ever recover from this?
    Q: NTU is OP! This mod isnt powerful enough to cope with it!
    A: please make sure you remain aware of both the actual realities of late cold war naval procurement, and also


    Q: Why wont Kortik CIWS properly engage with both missiles and guns sometimes?
    A: The fire prioritization for missiles is using the highest capability weapon against a given target, until it runs out. This leads to awkward situations where long range missiles are being used where shorter range ones would be more effective, and there is nothing I can do to fix this other than beg the developers to add a ROE panel and give weapon priorities for each individual missile type.
    known issues:
    • no systems specialization for udaloy, sovremenny, slava
    • placeholder lots of stuff, mod just got reworked so is to be expected

tu22m3 cant be spawn form airbase even if added into its inventory
nuclearstonk  [author] Jun 18 @ 10:01pm 
yeah, whenever aliasing becomes a feature
CBRattler13 Jun 18 @ 8:21pm 
Are there plans to make early variants of ships like those in NTU? Like an early Kydna or Kresta I with SS-N-3A
nuclearstonk  [author] Jun 18 @ 3:27pm 
no, fixed already but have yet to release patch
SKIBIDI_RIZZLER123 Jun 18 @ 1:48pm 
slava 1990 missing osa sam is this feature?
Sisyphus Jun 18 @ 4:57am 
alr good to know thanks
nuclearstonk  [author] Jun 17 @ 12:31pm 
these are very, very powerful radars with good jamming resistance, so you cant completely disable them via standoff jamming without very modern ECM
Sisyphus Jun 17 @ 12:28pm 
radars of the newly added ships (mainly the upgraded slava and kirov class) cannot be jammed at all or effectively with ea-6b or any other type of jamming. Is it supposed to be like that ?
nuclearstonk  [author] Jun 5 @ 2:52pm 
yeah i already said 1989 version is broken and shouldnt be used
