Is it possible to add new unitclass in game?
Which files we need to change?

As Razz said, it is possible. If I remember correctly, bebro did so to make a class for the Japanese Kamikaze.
I think the files involved are:
unitclass.pzdat - obvious actually. The new entry should be added at the end.
strings.pzdat - there are some class descriptions at the beginning of the file I think and then a series of IDS_CLASS entries.
equipment.pzdat - you need to add the new class to whichever units you made it for. Column C if you open the file in Excel.

You`ll also need to go through all the editor files from the UI folder (open them with Notepad like the others), locate the instances where existing classes are mentioned and add entries for the new class so that you can use it in the editor if you want to.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you need to add graphics for the symbol of the new class in UI/unitclasses and Graphics/StrategicMap and in UI/purchase/classes if the units in that class are recruitable. There are some in UI/unitinfo too, but I`m not sure if they`re used.

Make backups before editing anything.

Thanks!
Whether there are any mod where this is made?
I want to look at the structure of changes

Karaganov
Please send me the full version of the map for the Barbarossa scenario.

H.Balck has no experience creating large scenarios, he will never be able to make a good historical scenario.

I have a large archive of historical documentation on the subject. Furthermore, I have access to the archive of the Ministry of Defence. Please send me the latest version of the map, and I will make a great scenario!

Kompolka, that is called a spin. It can be done in more than one direction. Now, I`m not sure if you actually expected me or anyone else to buy into it, but cut it out none the less. I can only imagine how aggravated a Pole reading that would be. The only way we can get here (an English language, international place) and share our passion for games and history is if we don`t go into biased ideological crap. I can`t express it more elegantly than this.

bebro`s mod is the IJA campaign and you can find it in the modding section at the Slitherine forums.

Alas, but Munich Agreement is a history. It is not an ideology.


The Munich Agreement was signed, and this provoked Second World War...



Was there any alternative to the Munich Agreement, except for the war that Germany was ready to unleash against Czechoslovakia? Yes, there was. In December 1933, less than a year after Hitler came to power, the government of the Soviet Union and France put forward a draft treaty on collective European security, also known as the Eastern Pact, and aimed primarily at repelling possible aggression from Hitler’s Germany nurtured by the money of German and American corporations.

On 25 September 1938, in response to Germany’s military preparations President of Czechoslovakia Beneš declared a general mobilization. Czechoslovakia was preparing for a defensive war to defend its independence. But no allies wanted to support it, except the Soviet Union. However, Poland, the UK and France were against the Soviet aid. On 23 May 1938, at the beginning of the Sudeten crisis, the Polish ambassador in France told the US ambassador in Paris Bullitt that Poland would immediately declare war on the Soviet Union if it tries to send its troops to Czechoslovakia through Polish territory. And Poland, as is known, has considered itself Germany’s ally and waited for an opportunity to start its campaign to the East against Russia.

On 19 September 1938, after the decision to transfer the Sudeten region to Germany, President of Czechoslovakia Beneš asked Joseph Stalin for support. However, on September 20–21 the British and French ambassadors to Czechoslovakia stated that “if the Czechs unite with the Russians the war could become a crusade against the Bolsheviks. Then it will be very difficult for the governments of Britain and France to stand aside.” It would be interesting to ask the question: On whose side?

In 1938 Czechoslovak army consisted of 1,280 thousand people and had the best weapons in comparison to other countries in Eastern Europe. Suffice to say that the Czech rifles, machine guns and tanks had been used by the Wehrmacht for a long time. Nine German infantry divisions and five tank divisions by 1941 were armed with these weapons. Czech tank LT-38 that did not enter service until 1938 was adopted by the Germans as PzKpfw 38 (t), and later the famous light tank destroyer Hetzer was based on its chassis. According to some military historians, the Czechoslovak army could well confront the Wehrmacht alone with its then-armament. This, however, is doubtful, as the German Air Force was eager to test their latest dive bombers Junkers Ju-87 in the sky over Czechoslovakia and the Czechs did not have such machines. The President Beneš came to terms with it. After all, if Soviet troops helped Czechoslovakia despite the protests of England, France and Poland, the world war would be inevitable.

Thus, the Western “allies” saved Czechoslovakia from the Soviet aid. The troops that advanced to the western borders of Czechoslovakia were at the eastern borders of the country until 25 October 1938, and were later withdrawn.

What would happened if the Eastern Pact was signed? According to the German war criminals at Nuremberg, the war would not take place. And even if Czechoslovakia confronted Germany by itself, it would not be the world war, and perhaps, according to some military historians, it would have ended not in favor of Germany. And with the support of the allies – the Soviet Union and France – it would be even more likely. The world would not see the Second World War.

Stop guys. Let's not offend Brazenman and H.Balck.

Moreover, do not forget that Poland concluded an alliance with Hitler and had occupied part of Czechoslovakia. (By the way. The Soviet Union was ready to provide military aid to Czechoslovakia. But Romania and Poland refused to allow the passage of Soviet troops through its territory).

Furthermore

January 26, 1939.
Józef Beck made a statement for the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany that Poland will qualify for all territory of Soviet Ukraine and part of coast of the Black Sea (all according to the plan of "Great Poland" - from sea to sea).

March 4, 1939.
Polish military command prepared a plan for war with the Soviet Union - "Vostok" ("Vskhud").

But Berlin decided that the Wehrmacht will be able to independently break the Red Army in the eastern campaign and that Poland should enter the "living space" resurgent German empire.

Let us not forget that a lot of Poles fought on the side of the Red Army.

I have not insulted anyone. I expressed my opinion. And I am very glad that I was wrong.

Karaganov
We need to make corrections in the parameter of range for Kfz.4, Kfz.81, Opel Blitz Flak.

Guys, I have great news
Karaganov almost finished map for scenario - Battle of Stalingrad (310x290 hexes).

That's fine! Denis continues to please us!
I hope that we will be able to make 3-4 new scenarios on this map!

Karaganov
I think that you must add trait of fortkiller for all antitank guns (including anti-aircraft guns). Plus Elefant, Jagdtiger, StuG (AT), Brummbär (AT), Sturmtiger (AT), StuH (AT), Sturmpanzer (AT) and Sturmpanzer 38(t).
