A very good offer , value for money. It is a very small mod that can add some historical flavor to the game but without messing with the game mechanics. I bought it and i have not regretted it 5/5

This add on adds an excellent uniqueness to each of the major country's units. It takes historical names of real battle vehicles and mix them in with the games already accurate sprites.

I thought that it is new content to core Hearts of Iron III, but this is new mod (you can play only one at once), which you can chosse from launcher menu. Nonetheless, it allow you to build varius division, set from very various brigades. Want paratroopers with mechanized or motorized artillery? Or marines with reconnaissance and logistical units? Buy this and decide yourself.

An excellent addition to Hearts Of Iron 3! Its main feature is the Faction-only technologies which greatly improve the technologies of any nation you wish to play, as long as they're in any of the factions. A must have.

A cheap and cool add-on... Common Weapons of WWII provides the major powers with some of the most defining and characteristic weapons they posessed in real life: a must have for anyone playing as any of the major powers of the conflict...

Very nice. Anything added to HOI III is welcomed. I feel that even though some may never like it, this add on, helps the overall feel of the game. I would gladly pay a couple of bucks for add on installments like this one.

I bought this to say "thanks" to DevilDread. The DiDay's mod has added so much to my HOI game experience. Now that I've purchased Semper Fi, I felt I should also get this. I know it will make Semper Fi rock.

Nice little Addon to SemperFI. It adds a lot of Flair, and is worth it's money, especially for those caring for the atmosphere.

Gamewise the changes are neglectable, but i think, that was never the goal of the Modders here anyway.

This is an excellent add-on for HOI3, and is, in my opinion a must have, not just for it's quality or and for the historical immersion it adds to the game, but the fact that it was made by an independent modder. Note to other D2D sites, this is the future, and I am thrilled Gamersgate is doing this. 5/5

Hearts of Iron 3: Common Weapons of WWII review

By EarlyB posted 21st August 2010

This is quite a simple addition to HOI3, it adds quite a lot of (needed) historical favour to the game. This comes in the form of units such as SS, Guards units, Japanese Kamikaze pilots, Gurkhas, The "funnies" and many more. All of these units are influenced by three new tech trees, one for allies, one for axis and one for the Comintern, these tech trees also have tech specific doctrines to research such as "Great Patriotic War" for the Soviet Union which makes their infantry slightly worse but decreases the build time massively.

The new units and techs it gives are more than worth the price tag and if you play with a group of friends, this is well worth it, makes the game even more fun.

Adds so much to the game. The new units greatly enchance the gameplay and interfaction war. Highly recommened for experienced and new players alike.

To be honest, i only bought CWWWII to support DDs dedication and work, while i will use Devildreads I.C.E Mod in Hoi3 and later in SF.

The DLC only contains units and such afaik and the mod includes a lot more (like rule changes and balancing and so on).

I applaude the - at least for me - new policy of payment for fanwork from Paradox, rewarding the fans for their dedication.

It is,maybee anfair to call this a mod.

If this would be just a mod,in this case the wings are mod for birds-enabling them to truly fly.

This simple,jet genial peace of software gives HOI III-Semper-Fi much needed dose of spice for historical immersion...and game only with it gives a signs of life in historical immersion term.

...(Historical) Immersion,we are withnessing a term maybee just and only in this days becames fully matured ,and recognised by developer of original HOI III game.

In this sence this"mod" is great addition for not just current game, but allso a pathway for developer of HOI III,a torch,light pointing to direction where to go further in HOI III developement.

I just bought and tested it and it's way better than I thought!

What you get are 3 new 'tech trees' (Axis, Allies, Commintern). Depending on the nation you play, you can research new technologies within 1 of the 3 'tech trees', allowing you to construct the special units. E.g: first you must develop Schutzstaffel-Activation => then you are allowed to research SS-Infantry/Motorized/Mechanized/Panzer. If you research these things, you be will be able to manufacture these 4 special units.

It took me a while to figure out how to get this to work but a tutor post and one of the reviews mentions how.

Its definitely worth grabbing, and gives each of the different blocks an individuality that the game needs,plus its awesome to see paradox interactive supporting one of the modding community like this

Great work! Adding some special units, like the Guards, Flying Fortresses or Mustangs (P-51) is a good opportunity to get a feel of WWII-(computergame-) warfare.

An excellent addition to the base game. With very little work this can be adapted to suit almost any new units, you may wish to have! But the work has already been done, so why bother... :)

Devildreads support for his Mod, is great!

While only adding additional units the pack lets you customize your divisions and military to a level HOI3 players could only dream of, if you're into immersion and mild micro-management, that is.

Hearts of Iron 3: Common Weapons of WWII review

By KomradeKhaki posted 21st July 2010

Its a brilliant mod that YOU MUST RUN THROUGH THE HoI3.exe (as opposed to HoI3 game) and look for the start-up menu labelled 'select mod'. When you start it up choose mod, Common Weapons of War then press start. This will give away to a really good modification to the game.

It adds plenty of extra flavour and for only $2, its a pretty solid deal that helps out modders.

I highly recommend it as you get a lot of bang for your buck after you figure out how to run it properly.

By mazda6maniac posted 21st July 2010

This is a very limited upgrade. Although, I was pleased with the concept in general, I was stunned at how poor the new unit counters are represented on the map. It looks like they were created using Microsoft Paint by someone who was in a hurry and without any artistic talent. I don't know about any of you but I want a game that is more polished, and this is not it by a long shot.

This addition adds a massive amount of flavor to the game and for its price it can't be beat!

Great stuff to play with.It increases the feeling of playing a WW II simulation.

Finaly you are able to choose to play different styles with Axis/Allies and Comintern Countries.

Some nice additions here.new land air and sea units to produce also a few new techs to research,the techs open up the specialized units.this is a mod so no old save data will work and make sure you select the common weapons mod when you start the game to play it.Overall it brings some detailed units to the game new units like the SS brigades.U.S Marines B-17 flying fortress and P-51 Mustangs are key selling points and for 1.99 why not

Hearts of Iron can make the combatants of WWII seem like clones of each other. This DLC adds a little bit of historical flavor to a game that has been tilted towards more ahistorical results. Certain advantages each nation had are now present: Japan's skill at night naval fighting and technical advantage in torpedoes is now represented for example. If you are looking for a little bit of seasoning to your WWII, this is a tasty morsel.
