Take a look at my "Promotion Board" mod, it adds generals and admirals for the US every six months or so according to a Date of Rank found on wiki. Is this kind of what you are looking for for leaders? It is also possible to add skill/traits to leaders or promote a general to FM by event. I even kill off leaders that were KIA. The game currently only has two command levels on land, Gen & FM, and no real way of using divisional commanders or corps commanders, just army and army group. At one point I tried modding in Corps command, but was not successful. Vehicles & equipment are a different story, and more support units would work also. The Pack Artillery is an example of an added unit. You can email me direct at m_p_s@sbcglobal.net if you like.

I also wanted to ask if you are able to add vehicles to the game? If not maybe we could find a third? This is just one example of more added equipment and how it could be used despite drastic odd's :P

But otherwise I've felt that adding support options like a mortar team, recoilless rifles and machine gun teams as support options on the side. All of which would add true immersive depth to the game but also bring more flavor to the game.

Additionally there is the other fact of those who received brevet rank. I think it would add so much more in the way of flavor to this game. Perhaps one could even have message pop up's that recognize a historical figure that just showed astute leadership that could receive a brevet rank and the choice be made for the player to approve or deny it. Perhaps accepting it not only would add a strong leader but also perhaps increase war support as historically those were used for propaganda on all sides of the war. I am by far not tech savvy so I don't know what is possible. But I will gladly perform professional research and information about possible leader selections. Additionally there are many Generals & Field Marshal's that have remained unused in the game from so many nations.

I thank you for writing back. I am a military history major with focus on The Second World War. What I am looking at is something I've never seen before on this game. It would involve an idea of making leaders from those who are just under the rank of general and with hope, having the option of promoting them further. There were major players around the world who achieved great victories while filling in on leadership voids.

Generalfeldmarschall, I am interested in hearing about the HOI IV project you have in mind. I am an (almost) retired developer that detests doing research, likes to code, has done *some* modding and by July '19 should have lots of spare time.
Let me know what you have in mind, I may be very interested.
