Simple mod that lets you also attach all artillery, rocket, and mortar SUs to your divisions for both Axis and Soviet in the 41-45 GC.
Made with 1.05.45 data changes.
***This will cause all the modded SUs to become and stay motorized throughout the game. This may cause problems with regards to vehicle shortages.***

I'm just curious why they would be motorized?

In your standard 41-45 GC, most German artillery battalions start as motorized. After turn 1, they all suddenly become non-motorized..
WHY??!
Design decision....[8|]
In order to get them to attach to divisions, I had to change all Artillery, Rocket, and Mortar type SUs to the type 'Self-Propelled Artillery'.
These type SUs actually stay motorized throughout the game. This reminds me that I want to do a German-only version of this mod. I think the strain on the Soviet vehicle pool is probably way too much...

How will this be affected by new game updates/patches?

Thanks.
This mod only took me about 10 minutes to create, so if there are major data changes it will be no problem to create a new one...
Lots of data changes in new patch...will post new version tonight.

Thanks for this - looks great. Two suggestions:
1. Maybe you should put the link to the latest version in your original Post at the top? Going forward, this will prevent confusion.
2. Are you able to include a change to the Soviet vehicle pool for people using the Soviet version of your mod, to prevent a huge hit on the Sov pool?
Thanks again. This should be included in the main game release.

Will do with next version.

All I can think off the top of my head is to either increase production, or put a massive amount of vehicles in the pool. Neither option is very enticing and further twists history. This is the reason why I included an Axis only version. In the GC, nearly all Axis Artillery SUs start out Motorized. But after turn 1 is over, they become Non-Motorized and dump their excess vehicles in the pool..
I wonder if this is why I see most Panzer Divisions start the game with ~80% vehicle requirements? After turn 1 they soak up all the excesses from the SUs becoming Non-Motorized..
Thanks again. This should be included in the main game release.
Not quite sure why the developers decided not to make Artillery attachable to divisions...I'm sure they have a reason though.
