Hello guys,
I would love to get the old sWS truck system back. All I managed so far is just that the truck will come at the start of the game and that after it has been converted another one would come etc. But what I would really love to have is have the cooldown in the UI and I know it is possible but I just can't put the pieces together. So if there is someone out there who managed to put back the old system could you please share?
Regards,
RagnarTheGamer

I was able to do this for my mod since I had a backup of the attribute files from before they changed the sWS trucks to be buildable instead.
First, clone/open army\west_german and under start_actions add the following (assume any property not specified is using the default value):
Next clone/open abilities\west_german\always_on_ability\dispatch_ability\sws_halftrack_interval_dispatch. Relic borked this ability (needlessly) when they got rid of the automatic sWS dispatch, so we need to restore it:
Lastly, clone/open ebps\races\west_german\buildings\base_building\hq\west_german_hq_mp and make the following changes:
I should note that one of the two initial dispatches (the one in the army file or the one in the ability file) are most likely redundant or don't work, but I haven't tested to figure out which one that is, and I know having both doesn't cause any problems. Enjoy!

Next clone/open abilities\west_german\always_on_ability\dispatch_ability\sws_halftrack_interval_dispatch. Relic borked this ability (needlessly) when they got rid of the automatic sWS dispatch, so we need to restore it:
Code

[remove the set_start_position_target_action, copy the speech_action, then add the following two new actions:]

Code

[add the above ability that you restored:]

I should note that one of the two initial dispatches (the one in the army file or the one in the ability file) are most likely redundant or don't work, but I haven't tested to figure out which one that is, and I know having both doesn't cause any problems. Enjoy!

A massive game rework with many, many gameplay, faction AND commander changes, with an emphasis on intuitive realism (as opposed to total historical accuracy) and consistency. If you feel like CoH2 has some immersion-breaking issues right now, you might appreciate my fixes and improvements.

Apologies for the necro, but after testing it should also be noted that the reinforcement_action tag spawn_random_squads should all be set to false.
Just an update for those potentially reading in the future.
