Description
Rows with 3 icons are faction specific stuff.
Rows with 5 icons are subfaction specific stuff.
Refer to order in Countries image to understand what is whose.
Some units still don't have proper cameo so i just used text for them here.
i took me a few second to notice that fakes aren't broken icons, but a bunch of icons put together to represent the ability to buidl different fakes :p and hurray for fake vehicles!
why rising sun flag
That's a special upgrade for Japan.
Hussar? Cavalryman with AT rifle? En.wikipedia.org
Currently they are armed with Shotguns, but may change that. The article you linked looks interesting.
Considering we have rocket and grenade cavalry, AT rifle may overlap it... but a sniper rifle would make it able to kite whole infantry armies to death.
Also, what is the difference between Hussars and Rifle Cavalry?
Pretty higher spread and slightly higher damage, so it is way better against the groups of infantry and cavalry than normal ones.
There are already some special units that make shared ones obsolute, most notably Communtern's Heavy Tanks. Only case where a special unit actually replace normal one is Mengkuko's War Miners.
1. Would it be possible to make War Miner an upgrade for Ore Miners?
2. What is the task of Grenadiers? Anti armour?
1. War Miners are good early game to prevent rushes againt your miners. That was the main reason to replace instead of adding a new unit which you can build from WFac later in the game.
2. Good overall but mostly against structures because their projectile speed is slow.
Do grenadiers explode or deal lots of damage to infantry?
I mean - did they undergo any changes to make them primary anti-tank unit due to Rocket Infantry being tier 2 now?
Before and during early WW2 tanks had relatively light armour and grenades could be used to disable or knock them out effectively, so grenadiers as prime armour deterrent make sense IMO.
