Is it possible to fix the Conscript Sergeant model with the provided tools?
I do believe that the model is fully working, with animations and everything. It is only missing a winter skin.
Update:
Light infantry non-slot weapons range is reduced to 35 and no longer interferes with the attack order and attack move order.

In playing around with income I think I found a sweet spot that in general increases the duration of the phases of early, mid, and late game. Here is a total summery of right now:
Show Spoiler
Right now, I have implemented various comeback mechanics to make games for entertaining and here is a list of all effects:
Soviets Mobilized Reserves:
Fresh Conscripts no longer need to reinvest with munitions for the seven man squads with it being a global upgrade. In order to make penals more able to get back into the game, they now gain vet 1 immediately if they did not already have it as well as their cheaper reinforce cost.
Volks upgrades:
If a volks squad needs to be rebuilt, the global upgrades should help them get back into the fight. Zeal was probably the weakest of the bunch so like penals, when this is upgraded, vet 0 volks become vet 1 volks.
Ostheer:
Now not only they have new comeback mechanics they have new non doctrinal supply mechanics as well. Soviets and brits build cashes, USF can upgrade WC51 trucks to Supply Trucks. OKW can build Supply HQs that are hybrid of the HQ, Supply truck, and Cashes. Ostheer has now it's old T4 structure reintroduce into a Research building.

Small update
In playing around with manpower income and now trying out 250 manpower per minute.
Penals are now able to be upgraded with PPSH's
Penals' vet 1: to the last man, now also increases burst duration per model missing.
This should give soviets a decent smg unit non doctrinally but this is a side grade and does not replace shock troops.
Conscript Assault Packages completely replaced and removed:
Advance War's Conscript Assault Packages replaced with Conscript Tactics
Show Spoiler
Conscript Support Tactic's Conscript Assault Packages replaced with Hold the Line
Show Spoiler
Guard Rifle Combined Arms Tactics 's Conscript Assault Packages replaced with Vehicle Breakthrough
Show Spoiler
OKW's supply trucks replaced with the ability the lockdown SWS halftracks into supply centers.
Once set up, the player can choose between the increase of fuel or munitions. Can change whenever you want, barring cool down.
MG34 Moved to T1 but the cost is reduced to 230 manpower.
Munitions Opel Blitz added to T2. Ability Cooldowns and medic packs removed. Aura now also reduce weapon cooldowns. This unit will help fill in the gap for OKW who lacks a mobile reinforcement point.
The mod tools says 7.8, note the mod tools are about 6 patches behind but the patch notes suggest it has not have been changed.
I like the light arty barrage. Most of the time, my opponents moves or retreat the team weapon in time, so the cheaper cost is a plus because it did its job of displacing the target to create an opening.
nearly enough to go around, so most Volksgrenadiers were issued MP 40's instead. It kind of irks me that Grenadiers have the option to become MP 40 squads (uncommon by my understanding) but not Conscripts or Volksgrenadiers (PPSh/MP 40 squads extremely common).
I have thought about this. Both in live and my mod, there is no designated non-doctrinal CQB/CQC unit for soviets. Any added item can not overlap with Shock Troops, Doctrinal PPSHs, or outright replace and remove Doctrinal ppsh. I have multiple ideas:
1: Combat engineers
With mobilized reserves no longer being automatic, researching it could grant the combat engineers with a PPsh upgrade that grants an extra man from either the PPSH upgrade or from mobilized reserves.
Or just make the equipped with PPsh's.
2: Penals
Right now penals, in my mod, are significantly different. PPsh upgrade for them could make them stand out.
3: Replacing the PPSH doctrine
There are 5 doctrines in live with this ability but only 3 in my mod. Replacing 3 could allow more variety in doctrines while allowing ppsh's non doctrinal.
Advance Warfare could gain either For Mother Russia or a new ability. The PPSH doctrinal ability does give conscripts oorha back so maybe a combo ability using the Speech Evasive Tactics which may include AT grenade assault. Maybe camouflaged?
Conscript Support Tactics could revert this doctrine wounded recovery station for Rapid Conscription while a ability could be added, Hold the Line. There is speech for a Hold the line ability, in which it could provide defensive buffs for infantry in friendly territory for the duration.
Guard Rifle Combined Arms Tactic's PPsh could be replaced with a vehicle breakthrough ability to help full fill its role of combined arms. There is speech for a Fire and Maneuver ability which is focused on tanks. The vehicle breakthrough would enable vehicles to capture at a fast rate and move at increase speed.
Those skins are not interchangeable. There is a way to use the Cold Tech upgrade and display a different squad to build, but at the moment I will not change anything.
During WW2 the US did have a shortage of winter weather gear,
which military didn't? , and so it was not uncommon for them to use the M-1943 with heavier undershirts. Not preparing for winter is a common occurrence which is usually solved by wearing extra layers. I can speak from personal experience. I was deployed to Kuwait in 2016, in which I learn how to mod in my down time. First step off the plane, it was 130 F (54 C). When winter came around, working night shift, the wind chill it was 22 F (-5 C). Command thought oh here are some propane heaters that are above your head... They did not work. Just because it was 80 during the day does not mean it was not cold at night. That temperature difference change happen during my shift. Back at home working in the winter, wind chill was -40 F (-40 C), and all I was issued was a rain jacket. Even the basic cold weather gear was not enough for those temps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_uniforms_in_World_War_II#Winter_uniforms
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_M-1943_Uniform
Here are some other uniforms they used in the time.
http://www.usww2uniforms.com/figures_army.html
There are only three units with 3 models. Before hand there were IR Pathfinders that had three models but they had no survivability with a target size of 1 while these three units do. It is experimental, no doubt about it.
Ostheer's Pioneers with the target size of 0.5, they will be dodging bullets left and right including the tank mgs. Very cheap squad replacement at 150 .
Brit's sniper has a target size of .7 which is similar to other light infantry. Plus the extended range of 45 from the standard range of 35. They should avoid damage all together.
And the one doctrinal Urban Assault Grenadiers with flamethrowers. They have a target size of .75. This will make them resilient and they are suppose to be more of a support squad rather than a frontline squad. This squad may fall too quickly.
Probably not. Riflemen still use that skin on winter maps. Plus being cover in snow on summer maps, not exactly fitting, unless it is an ruined urban environment with dust everywhere.
Wait, territory gives manpower bonuses in your mod? What's the reasoning behind that? My understanding is that Manpower income being divorced from territory (and being inversely proportional to army size) is intended as a way to let a person recover from a severe setback.
An experiment to see if cashes become more prevalent in match ups. With potential increase of manpower and decrease fuel and munitions, players either invest more so into capturing fuel and munitions points or invest into cashes/trucks, as well as defenses such as bunkers. These values are quite small still, so I would expect a modest impact.
Consider this a re-release of my mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2129311414
BIG NOTE:
The mod tools are about 6+ patches behind, so it is hit more miss whether or not these patches it is applied. Expect not...
Also, this mod has nothing to due with Relic, this is a personal mod.
The purpose of this mod is to adjust design, doctrines, and balance is with this game. With the changes to teching and more access to non doctrinal items for all factions, the core of each faction should have all the tools they generally need. Doctrines offer a bit more variety tools while not being crutches for the base factions.
General Show Spoiler All points have a three step income system. All starting income changed to per minute of 325 manpower, 10 munitions, 10 fuel Default Command point exp per tick removed All AA vehicles provide suppression when stationary including those who did not previously have suppression. Initial Vehicles such as the universal carrier have reduced armor but increased health. Initial Vehicles over have been rebalanced to preform more of a flanking squad and effective uncovered infantry while cover'ed infantry will generally win in fights. Initial Vehicles generally have vet 0 capping capability. All tanks generally gain 160 health and have its armor reduced. Tank Destroyers and Heavy Tanks Main gun damage increased from 160 to 240 Light Tank Destroyers main gun damage increased to 135 for turreted vehicles and 160 to non-turreted vehicles. Heavy tank destroyers, ie Elephant, Main gun damage has been reverted to 320 seeing how at that damage, they can not 2 shot mediums. Tanks MGs have been buffed Tanks Main guns have less scatter now but can only kill a limited number of models per shot, medium tanks is 1. Abandoned/destroy main guns on vehicles are removed Slot items not longer drop Flamers All factions have access to various defensive items non doctrinally. All artillery gains an auto attack Heavy AT guns All team weapons Initial units removed All factions have access to forward retreat points All snipers changed into light infantry and moved to doctrines Get out of trouble smokes have been removed auto heal medics gain a small radius heal to prevent the chain flashing heal bug Capture points no longer provide sight Capture points now show their state when captured. Aircraft now die based on health rather random chance Standard Mortars have been adjusted to have better area of effect but damage reduced. Auto-attack and barrages standardized but other elements changed per mortar. All snares have been adjusted. Soviet Show Spoiler
The Soviet's Faction is generally the most well rounded faction excluding T1. T1 and T2 have been reorganized in order both routes have the minimum necessary items.

So many Unnecessary steps. The battlephase system would work best if there more than one initial structure. The battlephase steps increases what can be built from each structure.
One method is both t1 and t2 do not require battle phase one but battle phase one will unlock content in the structures as well as upgrades.

Fortification Show Spoiler - With the flak emplacements being nondoctrinal, Heavy fortifications have undergone some changes. Tank traps are now âDragonâs Teeth.â Flak emplacement replaced with the concrete bunker. Now can be built by Volks as well
Elite Armor Show Spoiler F2 for 600 manpower and 200 fuel
Luftwaffe Ground Forcesâs Heavy Fortifications replaced with Pak 43. This should make the doctrine reminiscent of CoH1âs Panzer Eliteâs Luftwaffe doctrine. Grand Offensive would be another doctrine to use Ostheer units so I changed the Tiger with the King Tiger call in Ostwind Replaced with the IR Halftrack which can hull down, camouflaging itself, to provide great vision. Overwatchâs early warning flare ability are too cumbersome. Volks and Sturmpioneers to be able to build flare mines like the Soviets which can be queued up and be placed outside of the point. Special Operations Radio Silence maybe the most worthless ability. I have turn this into a into an active ability where units gain camo and sprint.
