Cold War: Steel Division Mod

[another505]

Sure, its really early to talk about it. But i wonder how many of us , especially wargamers would rather have this in Cold War setting with same level of realism. The philosophy of steel division is certainly interesting and less unicorn-y than Wargame series. Since the game has better mod support than Wargame, I really hope there would be a Cold War variant.

To get a complete rework for Cold War, you'd have to be able to use stuff in the engine that isn't used for SD and import models and all.

We're still not entirely sure on how different Steel Division is from Wargame. If the infantry mechanics are significantly improved( which is necessary to have a good WW2 game), it would make this game suitable to explore some lower-key less-mechanized Cold War conflicts such as Korea and Vietnam. The scale also appears to be slightly smaller scale than Wargame.

I'd still prefer an earlier period than what we have in Wargame now, even if we get a Steel Division: Europe Cold War. Maybe Steel Division: Germany 1960? Or maybe we can explore more obscure scenarios with less mechanized nations(Something that Graviteam Tactics does). I'd love South Africa vs Angola+Cuba in the 80s(Graviteam Tactics has explored this scenario)

Since we learned how to export WG models, maybe in SD we'll be able to import them and make this a reality.

Just think of the game we have now as World Wargame 2: European Liberation.

1961. Berlin Crisis is a perfect justification to have a Cold War game set in that year.

I would prefer 1983 since 61 is still pretty close to WW2 style.
Though I wouldn't mind a game where T-55 and Patton series are actually top tier tank

Problem for a SD mod is you now have to figure out how to make ATGMs in a game designed for 1944 technology.

who knows how. Some abstractions would be required.

Considering they continue to use the wargame engine as the basis for SD, the code for ATGMs may still remain in the code, creating the possibility of modding in ATGMs?
