I would like to present you my Blitzkrieg Mod. This Mod exists since March 2008 and is still in developement.

There are many features that I added, for expample a realistic wapon damage system I made. It´s the same system that is used in the actual BotB mod with my permission (Greetings to Halftrack). Here are the summarised main features of my mod:
FEATURES:

- a much more realistic Weapon damage system (particularly the damage & penetration powers of tank guns)
- many new skins for infantry and tanks (and wrecks) also including many of my own made tank skins
- many new units for all factions
- greatly changed & expanded Commander Trees
- many new abilities
- new sounds
- recommended new maps included
- historical correct vehicle speeds
- more detailed tank descriptions (armament & armour)
- increased line of sight & weapon ranges
- increased zoom out
- removed team colours
- removed transparency effects

My knowledge in optimizing the AI for the new units etc. is low so if you want to have hard battles you should use big maps (6/8p) when you play the sp version against AI! So if there is someone who has good experience in optimizing the KI please contact me!
