HI mate, thanks for the awesome reply, sorry its taken so long to reply.
I will have a look at what you have said.
I've also come up with some new ideas on vehicle and structure upgrades adding an extra element of strategy to the game.
- Vehicle and building upgrades.
The ability to upgrade both vehicles and buildings would be made available through building a Soviet Tech Centre of an Allied Tech Centre. When building either a new upgrades tab would appear on the building tab. Having more Tech Centres speeds up the research process the same way in which having more Construction Yard, War Factories, Barracks etc…
- Vehicle Upgrades:
- Tank weapon damage upgrades: Light Tanks, Medium Tanks, Heavy Tanks, Mammoth Tanks + Turrets.
Armour Piercing Shells + 10 % damage to tank armaments: Cost $10000. Research time: 3 minutes.

Thanks again, will get back to you.
I'm guessing it would be impossible to add these changes to the current game without editing the original game code?
