Hearts Of Iron IV: Wunderwaffe mod

Wunderwaffe

WWII was filled with super weapons from all sides of the war, however very few are touched on in Hearts Of Iron 4. Wunderwaffe aims to bring in the theorised, and sometimes constructed, wonder weapons from all sides in the war to Hearts Of Iron 4. The major nations who have Wunderwaffe tech trees are Germany, UK, Soviet Union and Japan however the main focus will be on Germany for the early days of the mod.

before ypu ask questions about the mod, read these first.

How will Wunderwaffe work?

Each of the previously stated nations will have their own section of the Wunderwaffe tree that only they can go down. Each tree will contain new equipment and vehicles, along with tech that gives major bonuses. The Wunderwaffe weapons are supposed to be end game, so your enemy should struggle to compete with your super tanks if they don't have wonder weapons of their own however the mod will be balanced enough to give people a chance. For example, Germany's landkreuzer p. 1000 ratte will easily smash through enemy lines however they will be incredibly expensive to produce and vulnerable to air attacks making them a costly unit.

Does the mod add anything other than tech?

The mod will edit existing focus trees, add new events, and add new political advisors to aid in the research and construction of wonderweapons. It will also to make some changes to other unit stats to make the impact of wonder wpeaons even more visible and vital. The focus tree edits will add focuses to the major nations to allow them to fully get their wonder weapon war machine spinning and the events will add some extra flavour to the game.

What about minor and major nations you haven't stated above?

Their will be new techs added to help with combating wonder weapons, as well as a few minor game play mechanics to give them a fighting chance. Tech will be added to extend the end date and supply nations with better missiles, jets and more.

Is this mod going to be as stop start as Nuclear Aftermath?

No. Nuclear Aftermath is a total conversion mod, so I can't release a playable version until most of the mod is done. Wunderwaffe is a lot smaller, and I can release version very early in development. It also isn't as complex to program as Nuclear Aftermath.
