Do the server need this mod to work?

Alright, I just learned that 3rd Para Brigade will be featured in the next DLC -> https://www.eugensystems.com/closer-look-at-historical-battles/
So in order to avoid wrong designations I had to remove this part "2 units from 6th Airborne have their name replaced by Batallion names from 5th Brigade, their intervention zone being the same as Ox and Bucks : Yorkshire Paras and Light Inf. Paras."

I think it cut that off.

"Lince 202(i)" has been changed back to "leSPW Mk.I 202(e)" .
Explained in update notes ^^

@InsaneWorld : it's also the main thing which annoys me.. :steamsad:
InsaneWorld 28 Dec, 2017 @ 10:38am 
My mistake, I looked at the first part but not the second. I was surprised they would even have a Dingo anyway, so it actually being a Lince makes a lot more sense considering they were in Italy for a while and would be around for the disarmament, like with their L6/40's. Also I did want to ask about the Jagdpz. M4 thing but the comment cut off my second point for whatever reason. I figured it was a fictional thing but wanted to ask anyway if you had any references for it, which I now see you just extrapolated, but I'd probably do the same thing.

It's a shame that Eugen was willing and able to model so many unique vehicles for single divisions but can't get simple details like Lince vs. Dingo correct.

@InsaneWorld : look at my update notes, here is what I wrote about it :
Changed "leSPW Mk I 202 (e)" to "SPW LINCE 202(i)". Because the Fallschirm Aufklärungs Abteilung 12 of the 3. FJ had Lince armoured cars, not Daimler Scout cars (even if the Lince is almost a copy of it). BUT keep in mind that ingame model is a Daimler Scout with its Bren Gun instead of the Lince with its Breda MG.
InsaneWorld 28 Dec, 2017 @ 7:06am 
Two things:

The name "SPW Lince 202(i)" is incorrect because this is for the Italian Lince, but the vehicle actually in the game is a Daimler Dingo which is designated 202(e). The name should therefore be changed to "SPW 202(e)" or something that adds to this to describe the current vehicle.

@lastcrusade101 : No pb :)

I commented on the wrong name change mod. How embarrassing.

No, just no.
Sogram  [author] 19 Oct, 2017 @ 11:32am 
@ Cherrrybomb : sure it wasn't officially designated like that by the Germans but you have both versions ingame so you have to differenciate and I think it's still more authentic to indicate if it was an early or late version instead of Königstiger (P) or (H), as I have explained in my comments. (P) / (H) means the overall tank was produced by Porsche/Henschel.
✠Cherrybomb✠ 17 Oct, 2017 @ 4:07am 
The designation Königstiger (Fr./Sp.) is wrong and it wasn't ever used by the Germans.
Sogram  [author] 10 Sep, 2017 @ 4:20am 
Thanks :) But it's strange, there shouln't be any BF109 G-0 as I have replaced the name by BF 109 G-2. G-0 was a preproduction aircraft with only 12 produced (not sure about the number btw) in 1941.. Is it corrected now that I have updated?
lastcrusade101 9 Sep, 2017 @ 3:44am 
Awesome mod! I noticed that the109s in the mod are a little incorrect. It should be "Bf 109 G-0", not "Bf109 G0". Again, I love your work!
Sogram  [author] 31 Jul, 2017 @ 6:35am 
@BeerMan : "The name Königstiger was used both by German units and agencies. For example, it was used on the typed production reports from the Reichministerium für Rüstung und Kriegsproduktion (Reich ministry for armament and war production)." -> http://www.panzerworld.com/german-armor-myths
Tiger II is a more official name indeed, but I like to keep nicknames which were commonly used.
BeerMan 28 Jul, 2017 @ 5:57pm 
I was hoping you'd change it to Tiger II. Is that not the real name? Some nicknames were used and are good to have in the game. It seems impossible to me that Königstiger was viable name to use. Tiger II also sounds better.
Sogram  [author] 18 Jul, 2017 @ 12:47pm 
I changed "M4A3(75)W" to => "M4A3W", because these tanks were also designated like that. It is also a way to better differenciate with the 76mm version and to make "Calliope" unit name less complicated..
Sogram  [author] 7 Jul, 2017 @ 3:23am 
@GraveDigger : My pleasure ^^ And indeed it is better like that.
GraveDigger 6 Jul, 2017 @ 11:52pm 
Thank u Black Hand. I like the shortened version and the other renamed models. Good work.
Sogram  [author] 6 Jul, 2017 @ 12:04pm 
@GraveDigger : I changed Königstiger designations to be less long.
Sogram  [author] 6 Jul, 2017 @ 9:21am 
This time most nations have new arty, AT and AA gun unit names!
Some tips : For the US mortars and AT Guns if you see "inch", you know it's a big one! ^^

@GraveDigger : I know for the turret but as Germans tend to designate versions of their tanks as "früh" or "spät", I think it is more accurate. Moreover (P) or (H) means that the overall tank was designed by Henschel or Porsche. Example : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VK_4502_(P)
Btw I can rename it Königstiger(Fr.) and Königstiger(Sp.) if it's too long.
GraveDigger 6 Jul, 2017 @ 6:56am 
Why is there need to change the Kingtiger name to "früh" and "spät? You are right that the hull was produced by Henschel, but the first 50 Kingtigers got the Porsche Turret mounted. Thats why it´s called Königstiger (P). Most of the players are interested in tank history and will know that the early version was the (P) version and later manufactured Kingtigers got the Henschel turret (H). You will not find a shorter name for these two tank models.

Thanks :steamhappy:

@Freaky : No need to remove it, you can join a normal multi server with this mod ^^
freaky 3 Jul, 2017 @ 10:35am 
Is this mod client side? Or do I need to remove it if I join a server (w.o. this mod)?
Sogram  [author] 3 Jul, 2017 @ 3:39am 
8.8cm are designated FLAK 37 (instead of FLAK 36) to easily distinguish them from 3.7cm FLAK 36. 8.8cm FLAK 37 are just a slightly improved version of the 8.8cm FLAK 36 so it's ok!
Sogram  [author] 3 Jul, 2017 @ 3:35am 
@Zoring : Thank you very much :D Btw big update here! New German Flaks and Paks names, many corrections and other unit names changed to more authentic ones!
Zoring 2 Jul, 2017 @ 8:52pm 
Fantastic mod, really love having all the correct names. Thank you.
Sogram  [author] 29 Jun, 2017 @ 4:51am 
@Hauggy : True! Btw, now there is no more Achilles. They get the war designation mostly used. And you can still distinguish easily with indications like "3in" and "17pdr".
Hauggy 28 Jun, 2017 @ 4:11pm 
Actually it seems that Achilles was used for both TDM10 and the 17 pounder gun equipped TD.
Sogram  [author] 28 Jun, 2017 @ 1:34pm 
In fact Achilles seems to have been a very, very rare designation, so I will probably change it. Another nice article about it :http://tinyhordes.com/spot-the-firefly-british-afv-names-in-wwii/

Sogram  [author] 28 Jun, 2017 @ 12:21pm 
@Apofis : Corrected ^^ I forgot to make this small modification but now it should work with normal custom multi games!
Scharf 28 Jun, 2017 @ 12:20pm 
Wolverine was a British name for M10 ?
Apofis 28 Jun, 2017 @ 4:11am 
Well at least in my case game treats this mod not like cosmetic one but normal and restrict to play with others who dont have it :c
Sogram  [author] 27 Jun, 2017 @ 9:06am 
@Apofis : Alright then, I will change the unit name back to "Sherman VC Firefly". Unless proven otherwise, I will keep it like that. If you have any suggestion regarding Polish units feel free to ask (nicknames given to some units, wrong unit names..)
Apofis 27 Jun, 2017 @ 4:37am 
@Black Hand
as far as i know they didnt
蛋蛋 24 Jun, 2017 @ 11:08am 
有中文吗?:steamhappy:
Sogram  [author] 23 Jun, 2017 @ 8:10am 
For the Polish Sherman Firefly, does someone know if Polish soldiers did translate and named it Sherman Świetlik?
