Custom types of equipment
If you created your own type of equipment like custom tanks/airplanes you must name it without spaces. So if we will talk about names you could use “real names” like Bf 109B or Pz IV D but if you use this names you could have problems with add_equipment cheat. Better will be if you use name without spaces and without special characters. So instead Bf 109B or Pz IV D you could use BF109B or PZIVD when you naming your equipment. And after that you could use add_equipment cheats.
add_latest_equipment
Also there is add_latest_equipment in which you don’t need to specify equipment_type. You just specify number how much equipment you need and you will get the latest equipment.
Other supportive cheats
There are more cheats which you will need to use with add_equipment like manpower or fuel. Because without people or fuel your new equipment won’t work well. But on this cheats we will look deeper in some days.
