✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adjustable damage and fire rate give you control over the mod's impact.
- Boosts infantry mobility, making them more useful for encirclements and rapid maneuvers.
- Community-tested with 146 endorsements and nearly 4k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023—may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects infantry; other units remain unchanged, so balance may feel uneven.
For HOI4 players who want to experiment with combat balance, especially those who find infantry too powerful or want to emphasize mobile warfare. Also great for modders creating custom scenarios. Skip if you prefer vanilla combat or want changes to all unit types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use ModOptions to set infantry damage to 0 for a pure no-damage experience, or tweak it to a low value for a softer nerf.
- Pair this mod with other balance mods to adjust artillery and armor, since infantry will be weaker in combat.
- Check the mod's page for any updates or patches if you're on a newer game version.
