I found the Modern Day mod to be pretty average, I'd skip it honestly.
Alas, all MDS were bad in Pdox games. You need unique mechanics to represent modern days...
DAIM was a very good AI modification for HoI2. Then there are mega mods - Kaiserreich, Flames of War, C.O.R.E., Total Realism Mod (dunno if this one is updated).
Well that sucks to hear that about the Modern Day mod...I was hoping that would be good. Has Paradox ever given a reason why they haven't made a game that runs from 1940s-now? It'd be awesome to play a Cold War-era HoI. I wouldn't care if it wasn't historical...I'd just like some updated tech trees and new countries.
And judging from the other comments it looks like Kaiserreich was the way to go, glad I got that one. My only gripe is just the pacing of fighting...is it the mod or is it just a HoI 2 mechanic where movement takes forever. Terrain seems to have much more impact than in HoI 3, same with organization...really annoying trying to take a hilly or mountainous area, since I can defeat the enemy and they have enough to to retreat and come back before I get to it.
