Hi folks,
even though the BAT mod pack is much more comprehensive, up to now the outstanding VP mod pack is still my preferred one for many reasons: first of all it provides an almost 100% compatibility towards static stock missions and campaigns. So hundreds of excellent missions and campaigns for the stock game up to version 4.12.2 are available on M4T and can be played with this mod pack without restrictions and bugs. The only exception/incompatibility I have realized so far is related to retextured maps providing a lot of forests (e.g. the Burma map, Malaysia/Singapore). In these cases playing ground attack stock missions on the beautifully retextured stock maps causes some issues: sometimes the targets are located in places where in the original stockmaps no trees are present but in the retextured map the ground objects/targets disappear in extended forest areas. Of course in these cases it ist difficult to play the ground attack missions. The second reason for my preference of VP mod pack over the BAT pack is that in my opinion the graphics are more beautiful than in BAT: especially I like much more the clouds, the explosion effects (FLAK!), smoke effects and the textures of the beautifully retextured stock maps like Wake islands or the updated stock New Guinea map. The forest, grass, and the water textures near the cost (e.g. corals) are much more realistic thean in the sotock game. And most of these stock maps are completely unchanged in the BAT mod.
Therefore my question: since the release of the VP mod pack in 2016 there have been released further beautiful individual mods like new planes and especially several beautiful new maps like the "Green Hell" map and the new series of the Solomon islands including Rabaul and New Britain. Are there any activities ongoing for an update of the VP mod pack in the near future or is the current status (including the Jet pack) the final version of VP mod?
