Horten's Frontline 3.3

Horten's Frontline mod aims to add new game mechanics, historically accurate content and QOL improvements from the community - for the community.
Mod is focused on PVP and, to some extent, Conquest. The main gamemodes being Frontlines, Battlezones and Domination.


This mod, famous for adding this gamemode before the devs, provides unique set of doctrines and unit rosters for Frontlines gamemode to make a gameplay that's rewarding players for using a wide variety of units this mod and the base game have.
Thus, the main differences between vanilla and modded frontlines are:

• Unique frontlines-only doctrines with 4 tiers of units: see them by clicking here.
  
• Remade the unit roster from the ground up with addition of new units.
  
• AI being actually good.
  
• More CP for both attackers and defenders.
  
• 20 maps available for playing with no DLC's with up to 16 players.
  
• Dynamic weather option: start in the morning, fight through the night.
  
• Fine tuned payback based economy.

This mod also adds a lot of content to conquest for every nation!
Such as:

• Smarter AI: it will use medics and officers, loot weapons, properly use artillery, pick targets better, not rush the first flag they see and more.
  
• 160+ new historical units and squads.
  
• Rebalanced tech trees to make less popular vehicles useful.
  
• 8-9 minutes preparation time for defence.
  
• Officers reduce CP.
  
• More distinctive earlywar, midwar and latewar periods.
  
• AI is using new airstrikes with new planes, such as rocket airstrikes and strafing runs.
  
• 70+ unique AI-only unit formations with vehicles, infantry and specialized units to spice the gameplay.
  
• AI will spawn entrenched AT, AA guns and mortars on their flags that are relevant to current war period.
  
• AI is using much less crappy units and artillery, focusing on spawning diverse set of useful units.

This mod provides a high quality rebalance of all stages of war with attention to balance to make PVP and skirmish more enjoyable:

• Remade doctrines for every faction on every stage of war with attention to balance.
