This mod has been in development since 2007. Some major features are: Corpses of the fallen will now permanently stay, population caps have been increased, and new units. Each faction receives one hero unit, you can play with and against any faction, and there are Heroes, crazy stuff (like The Maus, Powell, zombies,...). It also contains an Infantry Only mode, Early war mode, No Pop-Cap mode, and Quick Start mode in the victory conditions. This mod is only for fun! If you are looking for complete realism, try another one. Some combiners with other mods like Star Wars Frontlines - The Galactic Civil War & Eastern Front are also available.

It appears to provide them with far too much penetration, 4 littlejohn boosted daimlers can oneshot a panzer IV through its frontal armor, they never seem to bounce off and always penetrate, couple this with them being buildable right from the start from the command vehicle. And you have unstoppable cheap fast vehicles that can be produced quickly enough to svarm most tanks.

I have yet to try them agaisn't anything heavier than a panzer IV.

However as it stands it is a pretty much unbeatable tactic for skirmishing. The only counter is AT, however they can be produced as fast as any AT and beat most AT one on one.

4-3 can take out a panzer IV with one to no casualties, depending on if the panzers only shot kills one or not.
I beat my friends senseless with this tactic, needs more balancing IMO.

I think that 4 times the price of the daimler is about the price of 2 Panzer IV. I will check the penetration of the Daimler armored car gun but If I remember correctly it was simply a copy of the gun of the tetrach tank.

The important thing is that they should not really be able to engage panzer IV's efficiently, I see your price concern but the thing is, enough jeeps to match the price of a panther won't beat one. The daimler is in the end, a scout car and not a self propelled tank destroyer, which is what I am currently using it as.

Can lots of tretrachs engage a panzer IV? I have never tried.
