Can we add custom units to Toe?

Can we make new tank types with design improvements via research and integrate them in toes? Will the new designs be available for toe? If not, consider that feature into the wishlist

Hi Juvilado,

In the Random Phoenix game, the designs made in the model designer (i.e. Tanks) are the same reinforcement type as that of the subformation type they are built over. That is, in plain English, if you have a new light tank, that you designed, and you want to have it in a TO&E then it will get there along with the rest of the light tanks you've made. You will not be able to select it as a specific subformation.

Thanks Claus.

Well, that's a thing that could be improved, as if we design a tank with better mobility, we wouldn't want to mix them with the "old" slow tanks, would we?

As the system is set up, that is unfortunately what will happen.

Of course you could produce only the new and faster tank. :)

Or use 2 shqs. One for regular units, one for special units.
